Hey all,
We're about to buy a new TV and had our sights set on the 32" JVC I'Art. Looks like a decent TV all around. Does anyone have any opinions or experiences with these?
Thanks in advance!

I don't have any experience with it myself, and the only online review I could find was Consumer Reports, which gives it good marks: picture was "very good" via the S-video input and "good" via the cable input.
Here's what they had to say:
Quick Picks
For a 32-inch, conventional analog set:
1 -- Toshiba, $360, CR Best Buy
4 -- JVC, $450
The Toshiba FST Black 32A43, a CR Best Buy, offers good picture quality and very good ease of use at a low price. It has a curved screen. Among the flat-screen sets, we'd recommend the JVC I'Art AV-32F475, which had a better S-video picture than the Toshiba, though its remote control was hard to use in low light.
Hope this helps.

TV is crap. Ditch it and live a more happy life without it.
(Opinionated post with an answer you can�t use. THATS in tune with MacNN tradition)

Any reason you aren't looking at HD?

We're poor students in college, and have been without a TV since sept. Finally we said nuts to that, and went ahead with the whole deal. A decent HD set was a little out of our budget, unfortunately. Some of those new DLP units were sweet... but around $1500 cdn at the cheapest.

This probably doesn't help much, but I have a little 13" I'Art which does the job for me. I only use it as a preview monitor though. It seems to have a nice sharp picture.
Personally If I were you, I'd buy the cheapest TV you can find (In the size you want of course) if you can only afford a regular TV. That should get you by for several years until you can afford a nicer HDTV, besides, by that time, HDTVs will be cheaper and better!
That's my opinion.
