14 DAY TRIAL // It appears this is JVC's day, as the manufacturer decided to launch several new next generation devices which sport some pretty interesting features, not so innovative though, such as the Clear Motion Drive technology embedded in the company's latest high definition flat panel LCD televisions.
This technology 'is to blame' for the LCDs' fast image display of no less than 120 frames per second (120Hz), and the insertion of an interpolated image. But the main effect of this technology is the reduction of the blur or the ghost images you encounter when watching your favorite TV shows on an 'older' LCD TV. Moreover, the blur effect is more noticeable if your TV is from a previous generation. And as it will not get younger? just change it.
JVCs latest LCD TVs will be available in two sizes (of the display), both coming with the Clear Motion Drive: the 37-inch LT-37X987, which will be available in August, and the 32-inch LT-32X987, out in October.
Furthermore, both TV sets sport a decent 1366 x 768 pixels native resolution and JVC's fifth generation Digital Image Scaling Technology (D.I.S.T.) Genessa 32-bit CPU video processing, which is said to upscale any video source to display at 768 pixels like a dream, without any flaws. Well, we will see about that.
But the guys from JVC thought that they should also do something special to their products, something really 'next generation', so they added more spices such as the ATSC/QAM/NTSC tuning, digital 3D Y/C comb filter with DTV cross color elimination, digital noise reduction, MPEG noise reduction, and a full range of inputs and outputs - two HDMI inputs, two component inputs, two S-Video inputs, 15 pin D-Sub PC input, optical digital audio out and audio output.
But as the other manufacturer's previously launched some great LCDs (just think of BenQ's latest monitor), JVC comes with a nice, elegant, almost British design that exclusively features a pair of advanced speakers which are built-in using an oblique cone design for better distribution of sound.
In addition, the audio performance is improved through the use of MaxxBass technology, digital signal processing that extends the perceived bass performance, a 20-watt amplifier and a built-in parametric equalizer for tailoring the sound in order to recognize and fulfill, at least in theory, the user's requirements.
Both JVC LCD TVs will be available in the fall at $ 2,700 for the LT-37X987 and $ 2,000 for the LT-32X987. Not so expensive as the other LCDs, so you might want to check them out.
