JVC HD-70FN97 uses a native 1080p D-ILA device, a 0.7-inch 1920 x 1080 chip, or more than 2 million pixels per chip. Outstanding image quality of both standard and high definition signals is ensured through the use of an optical engine with a dynamic auto iris that responds to scene content to provide optimum black levels and accurate gradation in dark scenes. The set also employs JVC's Genessa 32-bit CPU video processing, incorporating the fifth generation of JVC's D.I.S.T. (Digital Image Scaling Technology). D.I.S.T. seamlessly up-scales any video source to display at full high definition 1080p. Standard definition signals are improved through better IP conversion, improved scalar performance and a PLL system that improves the performance of a composite signal.

Summary: Fine TV, especially for the price
Comment: In early October, we ordered this set through Amazon from Beach Audio. When the set came with internal damage, Kris Freeman of Beach Audio took it all in stride. This FN97 model was out of stock, so he sent us the slightly more expensive FH97 model at no extra charge. The new set was delivered and the damaged one picked up at the same time.
The picure on this set is amazing. My husband was pleasantly surprised. We probably sit closer than most people do, about seven feet away, but with a football game, in HD, WOW. With an travel show of the Grand Canyon, when the helicopter banks, you feel like you have to lean with it.
The internal cooling fan is much quieter than some reviews led me to believe.
There is very little reflection from windows across the room bouncing light off the screen. We like the black thin frame surrounding the screen because of the lack of distraction while watching at night. You can even turn down (or off) the intensity of the blue power button light.
Right now, we have it hooked up with the 1080i component output from the SA 3250HD cable box. We have Knology cable. The HDMI input (this set has two) might be even better.
We have the set sitting on the Plateau CR-2V(64) stand that we also ordered through Amazon. This stand is within one-eighth an inch of the set's width of 64 and one-eighth inches. On carpet, with the spike feet, the stand is about eighteen inches high. The middle of the screen comes out to a little under 45 inches from the floor.
So far, we are very pleased.
Customer Rating: Summary: This TV was the stand out winner at CEDIA.
Comment: As a Home Theater installer I have yet to see any TV with a better picture. Even without video calibration this TV was Stunning. The perfect match for Blu-Ray or HD-DVD.
There where no visible pixels and HD-ILA will not burn in or drop pixels. I cannot say enough about this TV. You really do get what you pay for.
