On the showroom floor the JVC AV32F802 32" TV looked better than other brands that surrounded it. So I bought it. And three days later I returned it. Not to say its not an impressive unit. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. After watching a Philips (Magnavox / Slyvania) television for the last 17 years, the JVC was a shock to my eyes. The reds were redder, the greens were greener and the whites look like they just come out of a Maytag front loading washer that was filled with bleach. In other words...everything was TOO colorful. The colors were surreal to me. I know...the colors can be adjusted, but no matter how often I did that, the faces still had that pinkish-red cast that I was never able to shake. Getting a decent picture on one channel (cable) changed when switched to another channel. For once, wife was in agreement with me on this one, and the JVC was returned. Much depends on the brand (color) that you have been used to veiwing for many years. If you are used to harsh bright colors, than you will like the JVC unit, but as for me....I went back to the softer more realistic tone of the Philips. I bought a Philips 32" (non flat screen) model 32PS60B for ($$$)., and enjoy it so much better. But like I said...Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So be careful what you buy...Remember...you have to put up with that picture for the next 7 to 10 years. And make sure you check out the return policy from the source where you purchased it.

I can see clearly at any angle, DVD movies show crisp and clear, and the color brilliance can be adjusted. Lots of adjustment can be made, or in my case, hardly any - I love looking at this TV.

I was looking for a tv that was reasonably priced and with great picture. And I can tell you I was not dissapointed. Compared to my old TV, this one touches the sky.
