The recent $500 price drop brought me even closer. Now, after looking at the TapeworksTexas.com site and talking to them, I'm strongly considering the JVC pro-line sets shown above. By the way, Tapeworks carries the Sony as well. Does anyone have any experience with these JVC professional TVs? Reviews are hard to come by since they're not considered to be "consumer" grade. Still, the price is in the same arena as the Sony so I'm intrigued. Any input would be greatly appreciated. |

It was the standard version and I'm sure the pro version is even more better built. The biggest difference between the Sony and JVC sets it the JVC will accept a true 1080p signal where as the Sony will not. The Sony is limited to a maximum of a 1080i signal. There currenty is not really anything available that produce a 1080p signal, but you would be better prepared for the future. |

With a native resolution of 1080p everything is displayed at 1080p. This does not mean the TV can accept a 1080p signal and display it. The JVC can, the Sony cannot. |

Bronze Member Username: UhphikapPost Number: 57 Registered: Jun-05 | 2 things: 1. The prices did indeed just increase on these TVs. JVC has pissed off a lot of people (including myself) and I really don't think they will sell very well now, but that's up to you guys as consumers. 2. On 1080p - I just posted this in the Sony KDSR50XBR1 and KDSR60XBR1 thread, but the fact is, this set cannot accept 1080p either. Here's what I posted in the other thread: The Sony KDSR50XBR1 and Sony KDSR60XBR1 will not accept and directly output a 1080p signal. They will indeed take the signal in, but will downconvert the 1080p to 1080i, then process it back to the screen at 1080p. The average, and even the above-average consumer is not going to be able to tell the difference between a true 1080p picture, and a picture that is processed in this manner. I personally don't think if I looked at 2 TVs side by side, one each way, that even I would be able to tell the difference between the 2 nor pick out which one was which. There are people out there who can, those with very well-trained eyes. The other thing to consider is that even though Blu-Ray and HD-DVD may be able to output 1080p, do you think the media, the content is going to be in 1080p? Not any time soon, therefore you will have the same effect, where the player will upconvert from 1080i or whatever to 1080p for the output. I hope this helps those of you who are trying to find information about 1080p.
