There's no reason why budget-conscious shoppers looking for a 720p HDTV can't enjoy all of the features found on more expensive 1080p models. The JVC LT-32A200 32" 720p LCD TV proves that quality doesn't have to take a back seat to price.

Key to the great performance of the LT-32A200 is its superb 720p HD LCD panel, which features a blazing 5 ms response rate for a flicker-free, high-resolution picture. Couple that with a 360 cd/m² brightness level, a digital comb filter to reduce video noise, and a 10,000:1 native contrast ratio, and you'll know why all of your video sources will look terrific on this set.

The LT-32A200 contains a state-of-the-art ATSC/QAM/NTSC digital tuner that pulls in all of your local over-the-air stations with crystal clarity. You'll also be able to receive unscrambled digital cable signals, as well as programming from your cable or satellite provider.

As the heart of a home entertainment center, the JVC can't be beat. It has HDMI and component video inputs for your newest gear, S-Video and AV inputs for legacy equipment such as VCRs, and a headphone jack and digital audio output for sound you've got to hear to believe.

Speaking of sound, the LT-32A200 gives you more than simple volume, bass, and treble controls. The TV has five presets for common listening modes (Personal/Standard/Movie/Music/News) and a five band equalizer to customize the audio to your specific tastes.

Add a full-function remote control and convenience features galore, and you've got a value-priced HDTV that puts the emphasis on value rather than price.
