That is just beautiful. Now make a 65incher at an affordable price and you got my business JVC. First by the way!
yeah i'm waiting for the day where everything is wireless (including cable signal and power line) and just hang the thing anywhere with no wires....
Ultraslim is great and all, but I would rather see R&D money going into making Flatscreens with a better picture quality over being super slim. Plus, like half of the US still does not own an HD TV. How about working on lowering manufacturing costs of the HD TV's that will be bought by the most common purchaser.
Gotta love how everything is made thinner, lighter, more discreet, wall/ceiling hanging but there's still the matter of cables... I ... hate... those damn cables!
Unfortunately though, no wireless technology has come close to outperforming its wired counterpart so... kinda boned there.
Heard of wireless TVs? There are quite a few out there...essentially it's a screen + box. The box takes in all the electronics including device connections such as bluray player and game consoles ...and beams video wirelessly to the screen. The screen would still need a power cable. But that's it. If you care about audio, throw in a home cinema (coz thin screens cannot make great audio) or a sound bar.
Heard Of Wireless HDMI?
and I'm sure if you're creative, you can hang the tv on steal cable wrapped positive lead and on the other side a steal wrapped neg lead and put them together at the entrance of the unit and walla!! you've got thin cables holding the tv down and don't look like anything more..
Good thing this recession primarily affected men. Women will buy this thing as fast as JVC can make them. Since women are the ones with all the money these days and genetically lack the ability to determine value, worth, or quality, purchasing most things based solely on beauty and status, this should be JVCs number one seller in no time!
from the picture I would say JVC's ultraslim 32-inch LT-32WX50 HDTV hanging in November for $3,000
Did JVC not get the memo about the economy being in the crapper, or what? Morons.
Samsung makes a thin panel this size that is only a little bit thicker, but has better picture specs and costs half as much.
This was not a recession, merely a transfer of wealth from males to females. Women did not experience a recession as all profession that are dominated by females saw growth the last year and a half since the start of the recession and 85% of the jobs lost in the USA were held by men. Add in the fact that women are graduating college and university at far greater rates then men these days (70% of college and university graduates today are female) and females make up 90% of the honors handed out in post secondary education today, this economic shift is not so much a recession as a transition to a matriarchal society.
JVC is merely targeting the people with money - women. Women don't give a crap about quality, screen size, spec sheets or any of that boring crap us male engadget readers do. They care about pretty, and this set has pretty in spades, and they care about perceived gains in status and since this set is $3000 they can flaunt it like a new designer purse. Plus women want thin thin thin to hang on the wall. But like I said in my earlier comment, women have no shortage of money these days so price is not a concern to the target buyer of this product.
KC... you don't have a woman do you?
Or at least, not an intelligent one...
KC makes a perfectly-valid point. It is perceived as sexism by most, but it's reality. Women will buy a purse with a brand on it for sometimes as much as 1000 times more than a similarly-designed purse, with a different name on it.
There has to be some logic behind it, but I'm not seeing it.

You are obviously unaware of the changing of the guard from Patriarchy to Matriarchy with your comment "You don't have a woman..."
You sexist bastard thinking women are property to be owned. If anything it's the other way around, you just may be to ashamed to admit it. The girls are in charge these days.
If they weren't, it would not be the case that only 6% of the US stimulus package went to fund male dominated jobs and all the "shovel ready projects" that the Gyno-bama administration promised to fund when the package was announced never got funded and instead female oriented projects got funded. Of the 6% that DID go to construction and manufacturing (jobs that were held by men that were the primary jobs lost), the Gyno-bama administration mandated that 1/3 of that money be used exclusively to train women to do that type of work. In other words, the Gyno-bama administration did nearly nothing to save or recreate the jobs lost, and is training women to replace men in the few position that remain. Librarians got more money out of the Stimulus package then construction contractors.
I guess unlike you, I just know the way the wind is blowing, and where the power behind the thrown lies. Obama may technically be a man (however there is absolutely no question that the vice president is a woman. All the proof one needs to determine Biden's gender is in his bill - VAWA ) , but he does not serve men.

You do realize that most of those Samsung specs are wildly optimistic dynamic contrast numbers? I'd hold off on declaring Samsung (or anyone else) the winner until these JVCs actually ship.
Will with be a universal rule for finding the contrast ratio? It's impossible to tell them apart because all company's measure it differently! it doesn't even mention if it's dynamic or not. My tv has a 2,000,000:1 dynamic, and for all I know, this tv's 2000:1 could be exactly the same. It pisses me off that everything but contrast ratio is universal!
It wasn't long ago that would have been a normal price for a HDTV.
I've not saw a JVC in a long time...
I'm not sure what quality this would be.
I would much rather have local dimming anyway.
That's because LCD manufacturers had to invent ways to make their contrast-levels appear to be as good or better than plasma.
Dynamic typically means they use tricks to get different levels... IE turning off certain backlights, etc. Not TRUE contrast numbers.
Wow This is crazy. as soon it falls under >$1000 I'll pick up one for my room. Hang it somewhere new every week

I do actually have a girlfriend of 4 years. I have zero interest in marriage as the terms of that agreement are VERY heavily biased against males, so I am perfectly happy with the arrangement I have now where we are exclusively dating each other yet live separately and have separate finances. She's quite intelligent and for my tastes she is quite attractive. I guess she's just more feminine then the post-op tranny you must be dating.
Why does one get called either a sexist or accused of being unable to attract a woman if one happens to be male and point out that there are in fact differences between the genders.
Oh, and most of my post was MALE bashing if anything as it has been MEN who have been the nearly exclusive losers in this so called recession that is only a recession if you were born with a penis because if you were born with a vagina you currently have more access to wealth in North America then any generation of human beings prior. That's why I called it a transfer of wealth not a recession.
That's also why companies like JVC are far from stupid releasing products like this at this time. The target market for this product is;
a) Not broke by any stretch of the imagination so $3000 is not a high price
b) Keeps their penis in their panty drawer as opposed to between their legs
@KC
"I do actually have a girlfriend of 4 years."
:O pedobear in the house.
Anyway, I do agree on both of your comments (Actually total of 3 in this article) on women. +1 ;)
UPS will snap this one into piece like there's no tomorrow.
Three thousand dollars for a television, seven hundred dollars for a cell phone, people need to get a grip on their finances nowadays. Is it any wonder the national debt is so damn much. People buying crap they don't need for prices they can't afford or can't afford for long. Oops, well, I'll just declare bankruptcy, but not before I buy this new Lexus. You know the old saying about a fool and his money..
UGHHH HOW DARE THIS COMPANY MAKE A PRODUCT I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD. DONT THEY KNOW RECESSION ECONOMY NOBAMA STIMULUSSAFFHFHFHFHDFdslkFJSDLFJdlkfjdslfkjsdlfjofgho
