Magnavox 19MF337B 19-Inch LCD HDTV

Description
With its ultra sharp widescreen HD picture, rich color, HD media connectivity, Dolby Digital sound, SPDIF audio output, integrated digital tuner and multiple input options, the 19MF337B is a superb TV and a great PC monitor.

• This is a great TV. I bought it primarily for playing video games, and it doesn't dissapoint. My Xbox 360 looks crystal clear and beautiful running 720p. The TV can run 1080i, but I like 720p better. The menu is easy to use, and it doesn't have any complexities. The only problem I have with it is that when I play PS2 or PS1 games, the graphics are a bit choppy, due to the system's inability for HD games. The text is hard to read in those instances, but the graphics are easy to get over. Otherwise, this is a perfect TV.

JVC LT-42X688 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Description
JVC offers the 688 series 42-inch LT-42X688 LCD TV in a new black cabinet. To ensure the best possible picture, this set features JVC's Genessa chip, a 32-bit CPU processor that combines all image processing, noise reduction and color management technologies together onto a single chip for more efficient communication, and thus better performance. Genessa includes JVC's Motion Adaptive Dynamic Gamma control, an algorithm that preserves tonal details and gradations in dark areas so that the image doesn't appear muddy.Genessa also includes Digital Video Noise Reduction that reduces the graininess for both analog and digital video sources, a Block Noise Suppressor that detects and eliminates "block noise", 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.Standard definition signals are improved through new Natural Progressive IP conversion, improved scaler performance and a new PLL (phase lock loop) system that improves the performance of a composite signal.

• JVC makes GREAT products, plain and simple. We purchased our JVC 42 LCD HDTV about 2 weeks ago and for some odd reason, and I don't know why I hadn't read about this before and why it came as a surprise to me, but when you watch regular television on an HDTV monitor, the picture quality comes out less than perfect...in fact it comes out dang-near blurry. The so-called technology that makes regular TV *look* almost HDTV quality...? Now THAT is a joke.
  
  If you buy this TV to view Blu Ray and/or HD DVD's or HD quality programming, you will be THRILLED I assure you. The quality is absolutely wonderful and I find it hard to believe picture quality better than this is commercially available (at least as I write this...) but again, if you plan to watch regular television and/or DVD's/Video's that are NOT High Def quality, BE PREPARED to be a little disappointed (if not a LOT).
  
  Keep that in mind before you buy and you won't be surprised like I was. Hope my review helps.
