52" and I absolutely love it. I haven't noticed any problems whatsoever, SD looks pretty good...my dtv gets upgraded this saturday, DVDs on component looks pretty good. Sat in front of it all weekend long. Just thought I'd throw in my feedback for anyone on the fence about it like I was a couple weeks ago.
Got my JVC DLA

There is a little bit of digital noise on SD and dvds, but it seems to have gotten better the more I watched it. And of course messing w/ the settings helped a little. Our couch is about 8-10' away, the picture looks much better now that I got my stand (about 3-4 feet off the ground now). I'm a newbie at this, not sure what SSE is.
SSE=Silk Screen Effect It is an artifact caused by the projection screen material. It makes the picture look as if it is being viewed thorugh a silk screen. It tends to be seen to some extent on RPTVs. I don't know if it is an "official" artifact like SDE (Screen Door Effect) is.

I just got mine delivered today as well and I wish I was as happy as the first post. SD (Digital cable) looks awfull. So I held my breath and moved onto DVD. Pro Scan hooked up via component. Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc looked incrediable. A little ghosting around the edges of nemo in some scenes though. X2, LOTR and the Bourne Idenity failed to imprerss at all. Noise was bad, some green tint problems on X2 and LOTR was bad in the dark scenes. So I figured at least my Xbox in 480p would havta look good. (Xbox was the only thing that looked good on my previous Sammy DLP. Had to return due to rainbows thoguh.) And Xbox looks as bad as SD. I have spent the last 2 hours playing with settings to no avail. I'm going to play with DVE. I'll be back after I'm done.
What doesnt make sense is the Xbox. How can 480p on a HD set look 30%-50% worse than when in 480i on Sony Wega?

DVE doesnt come with instructions? How the heck am I supposed to know what they want me to do during these patterns? errrrrrrrrrrrrr..............
Go to the website www.videoessentials.com
Then go to the Site Index
Go to the D-Theater section
Pick 1080i or 720 p and start reading
There's plenty of detail there.

thanks for the info but I still have no clue what stuff like "35% Window w/New PLUGE" means. I see all the test patterns, but there is no explination on what I'm looking for when adjusting. Man I hope I can make this set work. $250 to return back to TVA.
The Xbox should look great. I have the monster componets hooked up. It looks bad compared to before.

Talking about Xbox games, not using it as a DVD player.
I used a seprate DVD player.

I have had my 52" D-ILA for a week and I get my HD-DVR box tomorrow. The more I use it the better the PQ seems. I was getting some great PQ on my SD digital box last night, that I was almost looked like HD. I am looking forward to getting a decent upcomverting DVD player so I can see how DVDs can really look. With my cheapo player they are good, but not as good as I want them to be. I keep tweeking the settings on the set and have used DVE. I was not real thrilled with the DVE instructions either. Edbetty, thank you so much for finding where there is some more help on the DVE site. I had searched for it and passed right over that section. I am really surprised that the disk doesn't tell you how to use all of the various tests.

I've had my 52" JVC D-ILA for two weeks now and I've only got one major problem with it -- a loud fan noise. I can easily hear it from the listening position, except when the audio from the source is fairly loud itself. In conversations it lurks (noticable if you try to hear it), and during lulls it sticks out terribly.
I measured the noise level at 56dB with the meter right at the TV. Is this normal? Can anyone tell me if they are having a similar problem? Is this, in fact, a defective set or is my hearing just too sensitive?
I have been playing phone tag with JVC on this for a week now. If I can't get any help from them soon (or if they tell me it's not a malfunction) I'll definitely be returning the set.
Oh yeah -- I hooked up an HR10-250 (HD DirecTivo unit) with the HDMI connector & it didn't work -- picture was cloudy and dark green. Works great over component, though, so I can still use it. HDMI connection from my DVD player works fine.

IF i cant get A brand new 3K+ tv to look better than my 5 yr old one then this is going back. I am so disapointed. I read soooooo many good things on here about this set. I got SD to a point that I would keep, if only I could get the Xbox games to look good. Last year I had A Sammy DLP and an Ultravison LCD. My xbox looked mind blowing on both of them as did HD. But DVD and SD were bad enough that I returned them both.
Overall the TV has a "washed out" look. Dont think I can handle the gray bars on side. And there is a green tinge on the edge of the picture where the picture and bars meet. Any adive on some settings or something would be great, as I really want to try to make this work.

What r u guys comapring your gaming to? I went from a 36' Sony Wega non-hd. Had Xbox hooked up via componet.
I think the PQ when gamming is way worse with the JVC. A lot of gamming goes on in my house, so that was one of main reasons in getting the set.
Also all the yellows on the set have a green tint to them. IE, the goal post on MNF is a mix between neon green and yellow.

Just making sure, availing, did you go into the XBox console prior to inserting a game and turn on all the HD functions in the display settings? I have to say, I think the XBox looks amazing on the JVC and I am going from the 32" Wega non-HD too.
What games have you tried? I would say try Soul Caliber 2 if you have not or X-Men Legends. Those both do 720p and look jaw-dropping incredible on this set. I even fired up KOTOR and it looked great. I am playing Zelda as we speak and THAT looks great too. And for the Cube I am using a pretty crappy S-Vid cable.
BTW, I found a dead pixel on my JVC! So, I did manage to find one thing wrong with it (I said I hadn't in another thread
)

The fan is quite loud on mine too. I was hoping that it would get quieter when they replace it (due to stuck pixels), but I guess not.
Why not use a good ball bearing fan? Or a large fan? Sheesh... Well it's better than rainbows and eye strain.

Along the left side of set is green line. On the gray bars there are what look like smudges on it, but are inside.
I tried switching cables and inputs for the Xbox it did help but even with the detail at -20 and brightness -10 there are still serious "jaggies" all over. The aiming resticule is no longer a circle but yet a series of squares making a circle. I'm even gonna worry about the green and smudges until I figure out if I'm not even keeping as I dotn think fixing either would help over all PQ.
As for which games, I'm using the same games I have used on others to make sure its a fair test. Links and Rainbow 6 Black Arrow.

I guess that's why most people recommend Avia, it's very easy to use with easy instructions.
