- HDTV monitor (compatible with HDTV/SDTV formats -- when connected to a separate HDTV tuner -- and displays all signals at 720p)
- widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio
- JVC D-ILA 3-chip LCoS design (1280 x 720 pixels each)
- D.I.S.T. (upconverts all video signals to 720p)
In addition to the technological extras, the TV includes a number of supporting features, such as Natural Cinema 3:2 pulldown (for converting film to video), progressive line doubling, a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, and several additional aspect modes (Panorama, Cinema, Full, and Regular) that vary the picture's dimensions depending on the user's preference. Viewers who want to further customize the picture can choose among Theater, Dynamic, Game, Standard, and TheaterPro settings, or adjust the color temperature to compensate for the room's lighting conditions. Sports fans will delight in the single-tuner picture-in-picture, which lets them watch two games at once either in a large and small inset window or by splitting the screen down the middle. The TV also lets the user freeze a picture-in-picture image for closer examination. Essentials include a sleep timer, V-chip parental control, and a multifunction timer.
The home theater experience demands a quality audio setup, and the HD-52Z575 meets these expectations as well, with dual front-firing speakers, a center channel input, advanced hyper surround sound, BBE high-definition audio, and MTS stereo decoding. The device also connects to almost any type of video component through its multiple inputs, which vary from an HDMI/HDCP digital input for direct digital-to-digital high-definition transfer; two component-video inputs for connecting to a satellite system, DVD player, or HD tuner; three S-video inputs (one front and two rear), four composite inputs (one front and three year), and one RF input. The TV's switchable fixed/variable audio output invites users to connect to a separate stereo system. The unit is also Energy Star compliant.

The HD52575 is a great alternative to DLP for those who pick up on 'rainbowing' (the appearance of trailing rainbow effects caused by a color wheel). The picture quality has the potential to be excellent, however it is pretty poor out of the box. If you have a setup disk or good knowledge of home theater setup, this is hardly a roadblock. The picture is very clear and vibrant once the setup has been completed. Audio is standard for a projection TV, but most people buying this will be running through a receiver anyway. The menus are sub-par, but again, if you're all about picture this is a GREAT buy. It is also the brightest projection TV I've ever seen. It eclipses a number of CRT and Plasma displays. It could do with a few more high-def inputs, but other than that, near perfect. Detailed Review: The first thing I noticed when I picked the set up was how light it was. Even for a micro-display projection it was incredibly easy to lift and...Read more 23 of 23 people found the following review helpful: Incredible picture after professional calibration, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: JVC HD-52Z575 52" HD-ILA HDTV-ready rear-projection TV (Electronics) I've had this tv for 3 months now and love it. Out of the box picture was pretty bad but after tweaking for a couple of days i got it tollerable. Just last week i had a pro calibration. It cost 400 bucks but was worth every penny. Alot of people don't know that every tv, especially big screens, should be calibrated. I won't go into great detail (google television calibration) but the correct color temperature for a tv is 6500 degrees. This tv before calibration was 15000 degrees. That basically means whites look blue and flesh tones look green. All tv manufacturers set the color temps very high from the factory because it "looks" better to us initially and could possibly give them more sales just from the customers first impression on the sales floor. It took about 3 hours for the calibration and all I can say is WOW! The picture is now literally stunning. One more thing, I see alot of people are really annoyed by fan noise. I hear the fan of this tv about 1% of my total...Read more 40 of 44 people found the following review helpful: Beyond DLP - next generation TV, By This review is from: JVC HD-52Z575 52" HD-ILA HDTV-ready rear-projection TV (Electronics) I was impressed with this TV's picture in the showroom - I thought it was better than DLP sets (i.e. Samsung) and similar to plasma sets that cost 2-3x more. But I was a little reticent to purchase this TV due to the fact that its relatively new (released July-04) and there is not much critical feedback. I ended up purchasing the TV from Amazon and its been great. Check out AVS forum for detailed discussions about this TV and the technology behind it. |
