5 out of 5 stars Great LCD television.......2007-03-13

I've had the LT 40FN97 for four months now and am very pleasd with it's performance. The SD pictures are overall great, and the HD is outstanding, razor sharp. While shopping for this at a local video store and comparing it's picture to the much more expensive other brands I couldn't understand why the other tv's were getting so much attention from the other shoppers. The JVC picture was as good as if not better than all of them. The picture settings (color, brightness, etc.) took some tweaking before I was satisfied, but that's true for any TV.

I'm not a gamer so I can't comment on this set's performance in that area or as a computer monitor. I bought the JVC to watch TV and DVD's, so for those purposes the 40FN97 more than met my expectations. The fact that it doesn't "accept" 1080p input seems irrelevent in that almost all HD programming is sent as 1080i. What the JVC does is convert that to a 1080p picture, and it's spectacular. For the price you can't go wrong (paid 1799.00, have seen it since for 1499.00). Oh, and by the way, don't waste your money on expensive HDMI cables. Experts and techs will tell you that there's no difference between a $200 cable and a $10 cable. Got mine online for $7.00 and don't see how I could possibly get a better picture on HD with a different cable.

Anyway, I highly recommend the JVC LT 40FN97 for TV and DVD viewing.

With some apprehension about buying a $2,000 television over the internet, we were very pleased with the transaction. The vendor kept us informed about delivery and then followed through exactly. The TV arrived on a pallet and well packaged for safety. We did have to get help setting up the TV with our home theater system because the manual was a bit vague and we tried all the combinations we could think of. We are very happy with the television's picture and features. Even the speakers built in it are good.

4 out of 5 stars Great TV, but no 1080p inputs.......2006-11-15

Great TV with clear picture. Top rated.

One thing that's slightly deceiving: it's 1080p display, but it does not support 1080p input signals. For example, you can't turn on the new xbox x360 1080p feature.

Customer support confirmed this by writing to me:
This unit accepts 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i signals and displays at 1080p. It cannot accept a 1080p signal.

Amazon.com Product Description

Get maximum enjoyment from your television and DVD playback with the 40-inch JVC LT40FN97 LCD HDTV, which offers a native progressive resolution of 1920 x 1080p. Because 1080p provides twice the resolution of the high definition 720p or 1080i displays found in most HDTVs today, you'll get more vivid pictures--no matter the scene or content. The LT40FN97 delivers outstanding picture quality thanks to JVCÕs Genessa 32-bit CPU video processing, part of JVC's 5th generation DIST (Digital Image Scaling Technology), which seamlessly up-scales any video source to display at full high definition 1080p. Standard definition signals are improved through new Natural Progressive IP conversion, improved scaler performance and a new PLL system that improves the performance of a composite signal.

The Genessa video processor also includes a Digital Video Noise Reduction that reduces the "graininess" for both analog and digital video source, a Block Noise Suppressor that detects and eliminates Òblock noiseÓ, a Mosquito Noise Suppressor that eliminates noise in low bit-rate signals without degrading the image, and a 3D Y/C comb filter with DTV Cross Color Eliminator that uses an advanced 10-bit 3D Y/C separation process to eliminate cross color and dot interference that is imbedded in older source material.

You'll enjoy 480p, 720p and 1080i high-definition viewing right out of the box thanks to the built-in digital ATSC tuner, which pulls HD signals right from the airwaves. You can also connect the set to an optional receiver or cable/satellite set-top box using either the dual HDMI or dual component connections. Its QAM tuner is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception (via component or HDMI inputs), and it includes a standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming.

This set features a 16:9 aspect ratio, 178-degree viewing angle, 500 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and 1000:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.)

The Natural Cinema feature performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.

The set's Digital Super Detail (DSD) correction technology works with the Natural Progressive Circuitry to reproduce completely focused pictures, whether the image is still or highly active. A 5-point Color Management System (CMS) compensates for color range limitations and ensures JVC colors are reproduced with dimension and vivid detail. Other video processing and display features include digital video noise reduction, white character correction circuitry, five video status modes (theater, dynamic, game, standard, and TheaterPro D6500K), and seven aspect ratio modes with EZ Fill feature that enables you to choose the aspect ratio to suit your preferences. Other convenience features include a multi-function timer and standard sleep timer, 10-minute auto shut-off, front panel lock, high-speed channel changer, and V-Chip parental controls.

The audio performance of this set is improved through the use of MaxxBass, digital signal processing that extends the perceived bass performance, and a built-in parametric equalizer for more accurate frequency response. The built-in, front-firing speakers produce 10 watts of power per channel for 20 watts of total power, and it also offers virtual surround sound, advanced tone correction and a volume limiter. It offers the following connection options:

Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. It provides up to a 5 GB per second bandwidth for transmitting pure digital video and audio signals with no degradation in the transfer. It can carry up to eight discrete audio channels, making it compatible with 7.1-channel surround sound systems. Signals are encrypted with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to prevent recording. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with most DVI connections.

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

What's in the Box
LCD HDTV, removeable stand, remote control (with batteries), printed operating instructions, RF cable x 2, and a two way splitter.

4 out of 5 stars JVC LT40FH97 40" 1080p Flat Panel LCD HDTV.......2007-03-31

The TV works great in all aspects except one. There is a fiberoptic audio output port which works fine when the TV is in "digital" mode. It does not operate in analog which causes me some grief as I have it hooked to my sound system and I have to use the TV speakers when in analog. Some of that is probably due to the fact that I am tryng to get a TIVO the TV and my AV receiver DVD player and VCR to all "play nice" together. I think if I were to subscribe to an HDTV service I could get around that problem. As it is I can receive a good many digital channels on Comcast at my present level of service (non digital). My only other gripe is the treatment the unit got in shipping. Came via Roadway Freight and I very nearly turned it down because of external damage to the carton. I took a big chance and accepted delivery but I sure hope they find another shipper as the roadway deliverey man handled it like a sack of spuds.

I received delivery of this television four weeks ago. It arrived by truck on the day promised, and the driver unpacked and placed it on my stand. The picture quality and sound are exceptionally good. There is a substantial cost savings by purchasing this television here. There are two models of this television with the same model numbers. One is all black and the other one is black with a silver speaker cover. The latter one cost slightly more, and is the one I purchased.

5 out of 5 stars Pleased in NC.......2007-03-13

TV delivered by Eagle within promised arrival dates. Easy set up done by me, swapping out with HD cable box, following instructions. Excellent reception for first couple of days, then over weekend, crackle and popping started on sound. On all channels and very annoying and cause for concern. On Monday it went away to my relief. Nothing done to attempt to eliminate. No further problems. Enjoying watching Tar Heel basketball in clearest picture.
Any one else experience similar sound problem or know cause?
