Accurate primary colors and color decoding; delivers every detail of 1080i sources; solid feature set includes CableCard and picture-in-picture.
Reproduces a lighter shade of black than other high-end LCD TVs; relatively inaccurate color temperature in dark areas; PC input has limited resolution; cannot accept 1080p sources.
Although not quite up to the picture-quality standards of the stiff 1080p competition, the 40-inch JVC LT-40PN97s price and feature set still make it worthy of consideration.
