New JVC 1080p, HDMI 1.3a, 120hz due in Sep

Nmlobo...where did you get this information from? I've been waiting for an annoucement from JVC on their 2007 LCD TV's. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks.

Any word on a 52 or 57 inch screen???
Thanks, Ken

Nothing over 50" is a humoungous blunder.

This seems to be overconclusion. There is steep price difference for bigger panels.

Hopefully dynamic contrast at least in 10000:1 range.(new 120Hz toshibas have been rumored to only have 6000:1) There will be good competion(as allways) in pricing since new samsungs(only 60Hz for now) have quite aggressive pricing and one dealer says you can get 42" 1080p pana plasma for 2k in summer.

But do these new JVC's accept 1080p?

Seriously, the 120Hz refresh rate is wasted unless the HDTV can accept a 1080p/24 signal (120 is divisible by 24) to achieve as seamless a chain between source (probably a Blu-ray or HD-DVD player) and display. Too bad for JVC that I've already moved on and got me a 47" Olevia 747i LCD, couldn't wait. Nmlobo, do I take it you're about to dump your faithful LT-40FH96 TV that has served you so well for the past two years and upgrade to JVC's latest model?

As Nmlobo mentions above, 24p input is unnecessary to eliminate cadence-based judder, so long as the display has video processing that correctly performs inverse telecine. For newer posters that may not understand, inverse telecine is the process by which a display reconstructs the original 24p source from a 1080i60 or 1080p60 input. Done right, it's a lossless process.

Once that 24p source is obtained from the 1080i60 signal with inverse telecine, a 120Hz display can multiply each frame by five (5x24=120) to eliminate cadence-based judder.

Processors like the Silicon Optix Realta can correctly and reliably reconstruct the 1080p24 source from a 1080i60 input. That said, with the poor video processing found in most 2006 displays, you won't get reliable inverse telecine. Since most manufacturers want to stick with low-end video processors -- the equivalent of integrated 3D graphics in PCs -- actual 24p input on a 120Hz panel (5x24) is probably the easiest and most cost-effective way to eliminate cadence-based judder on Blu-ray. Of course, 24p input capability does nothing to eliminate cadence-based judder on broadcast and cable programming. For that, you need a display with video processing that correctly performs inverse telecine.

To your knowledge, are there any displays, either LCD or plasma, which actually do this? Is this what Pioneer claims their displays do?

I'm hoping someone will come up with a better test for this functionality.

Sending a constant 1080p24 video stream in 1080i format is a little different from what we have in the real world with broadcast and cable. On broadcast and cable, we have frequent commercial breaks where the source content (cadence) often switches between video and film. I think a better test would measure the "speed' and reliability at which a display can switch between video deinterlace and film (IVTC) modes.

Who does JVC get their panels from?

Don't think so... Samsung doesn't make 47" panels.

Samsung's motherglass size doesn't allow 47" panels to be easily made. I would be highly surprised if they started making 47" panels.

Do they have a new facility or line that will take Cornings current (new) 8th gen glass? That yields 47".

Nmlobo, thanks for the info. Looks like three 8th gen "standards": Sharp, optimized for 52"&65", Sammy, doing 46"&52" and, the winners: S-LCD & LPL going with 47"&55". AUO & CMO are TBD.
