The full HD LCD panel combines a high 430 cd/m² brightness level, a wide 178° viewing angle, and a 20000:1 dynamic contrast ratio to ensure that all your video sources are able to realize the full potential of 1080p.

The LT-42J300 is able to realize a competitively superior image because it incorporates several key picture features. For superb color management, the JVC applies sophisticated, pin-point color sampling technology that helps compensate for color range limitations as well as color bleed and interference.

The set's 3D Y/C digital comb filter with digital and MPEG noise reduction helps reduce noise commonly found in digital broadcasts, DVDs, and other less-than-perfect sources. As a result, you get a cleaner, purer video image.

This technology helps maintain black levels as dark as they can be while retaining all the subtle details of the original picture. You get a crisp, vivid image that heightens the realism of the source material.

The JVC also incorporates circuitry that improves the quality of 24p video sources such as films by playing them at the 24 fps (frames per second) speed at which they were originally shot. You'll enjoy a more realistic, true-to-life home theater experience.
