The JVC JLC42BC3000 is the $699.99 (list), 42-inch version of the JVC JLC47BC3000 ($949.99, 2.5 stars) CCFL-backlit LCD HDTV, which we previously reviewed. It shares all of the features of the larger model, including a 120Hz refresh rate, an ambient light sensor for adjusting brightness, and an audio-only mode for listening to music over the HDTV’s speakers. However, it has no network connectivity and the 47-inch version had disappointing picture quality (though different screen sizes can result in varying test results).
