Enjoy bright, vibrant images from DVD movies and TV programming with the
52-inch JVC HD-52G887 rear-projection microdisplay TV. This D-ILA
(Direct drive Image Light Amplifier) set utilizes JVC's exclusive
three-color (1280 x 720 pixels) chip technology provides a superior high
contrast, flicker-free image that's more natural than other microdisplay
technologies. This set features JVC's 5th generation DIST (Digital Image
Scaling Technology) with the Genessa 32-bit image processing CPU, which
insures faster and more efficient sampling that drastically reduces
jagged edges and increases the resolution of any video source. The
HD-52G887 in a silver cabinet; the HD-52G787 offers the same size and
specs, but it comes in a black cabinet. The set's built-in ATSC (DTV) tuner pulls HD signals (480p/720p/1080i)
right from the airwaves, and its QAM tuner is fully compatible with
unscrambled HDTV cable reception. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives
standard-definition (SD) programming.
The digital 3D Y/C comb filter (with vertical contour correction)
separates brightness and color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate
cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion. It performs
field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately
separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both
horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl,
resulting in a razor sharp image. The Natural Cinema feature performs 3:
2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching
progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To
adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the
original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this
duplication by removing the redundant information to display a
frame-accurate picture.
Other features include multiple aspect ratio modes, video noise
reduction, color temperature settings, world clock, sleep timer, input
labeling, high-speed channel changer, and V-Chip parental controls.
The front-firing speakers produce 10 watts of power per channel for 20
watts of total power. Other audio features include MTS stereo/Dolby
Digital processing, virtual surround sound, advanced tone correction,
and MaxxBass capability. It offers the following connection options:
- Composite AV (RCA): 4 in
- S-Video: 2 in
- Component video: 2 in
- HDMI: 2 in
- PC VGA: 1 in
- RF: 1 in
- Audio output: 1 analog out
Tech Talk
Microdisplay, also referred to as LCoS, which stands for
Liquid Crystal on Silicon, is a hybrid projection TV technology that
sandwiches a layer of liquid crystal between a cover glass and a highly
reflective surface patterned with pixels that sits on top of a
micro-sized silicon chip.
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to
link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV
receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. It provides up to a 5
GB per second bandwidth for transmitting pure digital video and audio
signals with no degradation in the transfer. It can carry up to eight
discrete audio channels, making it compatible with 7.1-channel surround
sound systems. Signals are encrypted with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection) to prevent recording. HDMI is fully
backward-compatible with most DVI connections.
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input,
which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color
difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased
bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture
with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get
with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will
need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.
