Description:
The JVC LT-47P789 is a 47-inch, LCD television.
Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $1,450.
This unit is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.
Pros:
Has a 47-inch screen size.
This is larger than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price.
This set can display images that are sharper and more realistic than analog television when connected to a high definition signal.
The 3:2 pulldown feature of this TV reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons:
Has only a rear connector location.
Suitability:
Ideal as a primary TV in a mid-size room.
Also, a wide aspect display such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
Value:
Given its relatively inexpensive price, this TV has great features for the money.
In fact, you would typically pay about 25% more to get a LCD TV with roughly the same viewable size.
