We bought this set at the recommendation of a trusted appliance dealer three years ago. We were very pleased with it until it suddenly died. We were quoted $850 to replace the power supply by a JVC authorized service center, and we feel very disappointed, to say the least.

no one will repair it or knows how JVC is of no help they apparently have no service dept.

Clearly an amazing set, and second only to the Hitachi which is over TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS more expensive. Best deal in town, people, based on testing by the most recognized non-profit consumer testing organization.
This is an awesome, high quality product and I just bought two! Pay no attention to negative reviews, usually only unhappy consumers comment at all. Excellent plasma television set!
I found an AMAZING wall mounting installer if you need one. My televisions are up and the sound is INCREDIBLE, way better than I expected.

Do your self a favor and dont waste your money on this poor excuse for a plasma screen. The pixilation is incredibly obvious and there are much better screens out there for a lot less money. Sony, Samsung or even Gateway would be a better choice. Compared to the set I have, a $200 CRT would be a better choice. This is a $4500 boat anchor.On top of everything else, JVCs customer service (which borders on being non-existent) is terribly rude and not helpful at all. They are unprofessional in the extreme.

This plasma has great specs on paper, but actually looks terrible. The color banding and pixelation is horrible in all resolutions and formats. I tried this tv with every connection it had from multiple dvd players and a pc. The problems were obvious regardless of the source.I sent it in for repair only to hear back from JVC that it is performing within specifications, which is pretty sad considering I have a 25 year old CRT that looks better. Avoid this plasma. The specs and price may look good, but the plasma itself is horrible quality.

Poor analog picture quality regardless of source (including component input). Severe solarization from bright or reflective picture content. Spent 5 months trying to have it repaired and now its worse! HDTV 1080i w/HDCP only works with the Samsung Direct TV Receiver. HDTV/HDCP/DVI compatability a BIG problem! Actual HDTV via DVI input looks good when I finally got it to work! These issues might be the reason that the price for this model have dropped over $1500 in the past 6 months! DONT BUY JVC! Much better choices out there!

Were really amazed by this TV. We had planned to buy another Plasma screen TV that cost more, but we ended up choosing this one because it blew the others away. Its great from its features to the way it looks. Its Just an awsome buy. If you are in the market in this price range, look no further. GET THIS ONE.
