![]() ![]() It sounds similar to an average Samsung or LG. We found nothing wrong with the sound coming from the JVC. For everything else, there are soundbars and AVRs. However, the thing they leave out is the fact that it is a TV with basic speakers meant for casual TV watching and not a all-in-one theatrical sound experience. Some consumers find the sound coming from such TVs to be lacking and not worthy enough for watching movies. There really isn’t a lot of space to work with. It feels like a repetitive topic, but we always bring up that a flat TV is a flat TV. We would like to hear about how well it does.Īd – Buy the 65-inch 4K TV on Amazon today! If you have acquired the TV yourself, please do share your opinions about such below in the comments. Looking back at it now, we feel it would have been more important to worry about than the level of blacks. This was our fault for leaving that out of the tests. We did not however test for lag this time around while playing online. Although 32 is a low number compared to some of the competing brands, we were surprised to find the spec at all for how much it costs. Throwing in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, we found that the shadows and other dark regions of the game were very pleasing, really taking advantage of the 32 dimming zones. We did find enabling JVC’s “Clear Motion Pro” was fun during the animation, however we typically recommend disabling this on any other media in order to prevent that Soap Opera Effect (common to every TV with such a refresh rate). The colors were rich and there wasn’t any jitter or blur to high motion scenes. We watched portions of How to Train Your Dragon 2 on Blu-ray to focus on detail to color and were very happy with what we saw. Most HD channels were upscaled pretty well, but it didn’t do any justice for the SD channels. We also got a bit of a kick out of it’s 4K upscaling, where it didn’t do so bad with DVDs. It didn’t do so well with TV depending on the channel though. A few brighter color ranges seem to blend a little, but the detail for everything else was noticeable, picking out strong details of pedestrians walking deep within the background of a scene or appreciating the clear separation and depth between the tiny hairs on someone’s skin. The detail was there and the colors were rich (again, after we adjusted everything). Throwing in both a Sony and Canal 4K demo we had laying around, the TV produced impressive results. It is what it is and since JVC is new to 4K, they may be playing it safe. However, we were slightly surprised that JVC didn’t attempt to venture into 3D as it would have only pushed for an even bigger shock when starring at the price tag. This isn’t a big deal as most 3D content isn’t worth straining your eyes over (yet) anyway. We weren’t able to look into 3D content as the JVC 4K TVs do not support 3D. JVC should have spent a little more time dialing in the default values in our opinion as it shouldn’t have required so many adjustments, but at least we were able to find the positive end result (which effects most of a TVs rating in our conclusion). Eventually we got an image we were pleased with. We used out standard calibration disc to help balance things and then applied a few custom adjustments from there. Out of the box, the JVC doesn’t deliver the greatest image until you start digging through the menus and applying your tweaks. It actually sports a full-array backlit screen with local dimming (32 zones), which is great for the price and provides detailed blacks (ie, shadows). The picture isn’t going to beat out the bigger names, thus properly placing it within the near-generic range, but the image is by no means horrible. The screen, actually developed by AmTRAN in Taiwan (also known for providing screens for companies like Vizio), puts on quite the picture for the price (as long as you don’t compare it to brands like Samsung or LG) and proves that 4K is even closer to becoming a standard format for today’s living rooms. With that idea in mind, they brought the DM65USR 65-inch 4K TV to the table. JVC entered that realm last year and set a goal to launch 4K at a price anyone could afford to compete along side popular brands like Sharp and Vizio. There is nothing like more competition within the realm of 4K to help shake the prices a bit. ![]()
