Description:
The NEC Accusync PV46-AVT is a 46-inch, LCD television.
Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $1,555.
This flat-TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.
Pros:
Has a 46-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 TV can display images that are sharper and more realistic than regular television when connected to a high definition signal.
The 3:2 pulldown feature of this unit reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons:
None noted, given available product data.
Suitability:
Ideal as a primary TV in a mid-size room.
Also, a wide aspect TV such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
Value:
Overall, this TV's features are as expected for this price.
However, you would usually pay around 45% more to get a LCD TV with roughly the same viewable size.
