    CNET Review

    June 23, 2009

    The Good: Well-implemented and convenient iPod dock allows charging and playback of music, video, and photos; reproduces relatively deep black levels.

    The Bad: Less accurate color; only basic picture adjustments available; doesn't stay in 1:1 aspect ratio mode; wacky styling; no side-panel inputs.

    The Bottom Line: The dock on JVC's LT-P300 series of LCD TV provides a well-designed and easy way to enjoy iPod and iPhone content in the living room.

    Review Summary: JVC's attractive and energy-efficient LT-42J300 42-inch LCD HDTV offers significant picture quality improvements over its predecessors but suffers from a quirk that degrades some high-def video.
