Once again another rip off on shipping. Beware of low ball prices with makeups on the shipping tab. Pavillion seems to love to do this!!!!

I bought this TV for amazing price of $500 (really nice sale :) ). For this price, I am very satisfied with the quality product I got. Image is nice and crisp. Especially HD programming - it is just awesome. The only minus I find is that the TV lacks VGA connector. If you have older computer (e.g. it does not provide DVI connector), you have to use S-VHS connection... However, for this price, I can live with that!

Allow me to preface my review by saying that before buying my LCD TV I did extensive research in forums, discussion groups, and websites with user reviews like Amazon. I would have loved to have bought a Samsung or Sony, but they were out of my price range. I didnt want to cheap out with an Olevia, Septre, Element, or other "off brand." After reading more user reviews than I could handle, I finally started going to local stores to actually "see" the TVs in action.
Thats when I found this JVC 32".
Its picture quality was comparable to the Samsungs and Sonys but for hundrids less.
This TV displays rich blacks with very little gray washout. No ghosting trails to speak of, and sweet bright color.
You may want to adjust the brightness because the default setting was a little dark for my tastes.
The menu allows you a very good degree of control over the picture, though I wish I had more control over the Gama instead of several gamma presets. No biggie though.
The thing I love most about the TV is the digital tuner. All new HDTVs have a digital tuner, so maybe this is nothing special, but I LOVE it.
I dont have cable, but through the antenna on my roof I get a TON of digital channels in really clear quality. To see and HD broadcast pulled out of the air from one of the major stations is just INCREDIBLE.
One thing that may annoy some is the TVs "boot-up" time. When you turn the unit on, its a good 10 seconds before you get a TV or DVD picture. Not a biggie for me though.
One time the unit did "freeze" on me and was non responsive to remote or button commands. I unplugged it, waited for 5 seconds, plugged it back in, and it was fine. That does scare me though as Ive only have the unit for 1 month.
This unit makes my Xbox 360 games look Awesome (no motion blur issues), and my DVDs look great, though I now want an HD DVD player, since Ive had a taste of true HD (Yum!).
The sound is really good for such small (hidden) speakers, and the unit has an audio out to send a signal to my surround system.
No VGA or DVI port, but I hook my computer up via an DVI to HDMI cable (bought here on Amazon for less than $10) and the picture is hugely awesome!
Why only four stars and not five? Well, the 1 "freeze" really scared me though nothing like that has happened since, no VGA input, & boot-up time issue. This unit is GREAT but not Perfect.
I really do recommend this TV for anyone who wants a high quality picture from a name brand, but cant afford to fork out a Grand for a TV.
