JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 80% by by willw05 (Mar, 2012)I paid $550 through Amazon and received, in my opinion, one of the best HDTVs w/120mghz refresh rates I have ever heard or seen in that screen size.
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 100% by by ryann (Dec, 2011)Compared to a lot of flat screen tv's out there, the speakers are a much better quality in this tv.
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 100% by by digAl (Dec, 2011)Most panel TV speakers sound bad and the reviews I read on how good this JVC sounds were correct.
Hdmi
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 60% by by D.-Kelly (Jan, 2012)I called JVC Support and they thought it was the HDMI wire so I bought a 1.3 HDMI cable, which is recommended for this TV (I was using a 1.4 HDMI cable previously) and tried that but the popping noise still was there.
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 100% by by HDTV-reviewerI connected this HD set via HDMI cable to an HD cable box and the picture is good.
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 60% by by D.-Kelly (Jan, 2012)As soon as I hooked up my Fios box and HDMI cable to the TV I was impressed.
Video
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 100% by by A.-N.-O-Nemus (Mar, 2012)A possible negative (but one that applies to most current sets) is that if you hook up older equipment with component or composite cables, you probably won't get a picture in the correct aspect ratio, and of high quality.
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 100% by by digAl (Dec, 2011)In fact I love watching HD videos using a. Patriot Box Office 1080p High-Definition Media Player PCMPBO25 (Black) on the HDMI-1 port.
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 100% by by A.-N.-O-Nemus (Mar, 2012)This set'll accept one component connection, and one composite.
Ports
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 100% by by A.-N.-O-Nemus (Mar, 2012)This was well worth it, as the HD display is far superior to the other inputs.
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 100% by by digAl (Dec, 2011)It also has a USB slot for watching JPEGs, I don't use it either.
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 100% by by BumpHead (Feb, 2012)The USB port on some sets is only for diagnostics or sometimes for adding wireless connectivity.
Audio quality
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 80% by by PPL (Jan, 2012)Others raved about the sound quality of the speakers but I actually find it pretty bad.
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 100% by by Paul-C--Paul-C (Jan, 2012)Plus, the "audio" mode in this tv actually let's me play Pandora through my TiVo while shutting off the display portion so that I can use the tv as speakers.
JVC BC3000 37" | Rated 80% by by Orbitrob--Robbb (Nov, 2011)nice set for the price... great picture, super audio, easy setup... I would have given this unit 5-stars, except for the design of the channel listing... only ONE channel list is provided... the channel scan function is quick & easy; but this is it.
