Introduction The LT42WX70 is a HDTV with a difference: it's being aimed at photographers, thanks to its support for the Adobe RGB gamut. This gamut (supported by many high-end cameras)  is wider than the standard TV color gamut, meaning that this TV can display the wider range of colors that many digital camera can capture. But, while this feature may be useful for photographers who want to showcase their work, the LT-42WX70 is much more expensive at $2300 than other similarly sized models.     Page 1 of 18 Tour & Design   Section The Good The Bad Tour & Design Clean, simple design Plastic bezel looks cheap Blacks & Whites Deep blacks, good contrast ratio Screen looks blotchy on dark and light images Color Accuracy Colors are accurate Adobe RGB color gamut is not completely covered Motion Smooth motion Some problems processing a 3:2 pulldown signal Viewing Effects Non-reflective screen Decent viewing angle Remote Control Remote fits well into the hand Most of the buttons only work with optional tuner Connectivity 3 HDMI ports Limited analog inputs, no cable/antenna input, no outputs Audio & Menus Included Sound Bar has good volume and quality Sound Bar leaves cables trailing Formats & Media Full 1080p support No streaming media or Internet connectivity Power Consumption Costs about $22 a year to run None   Compare the JVC LT-42WX70 to other HDTVs Samsung LN40B650 40" JVC LT-42P300 42" Sony Bravia KDL-52V5100 52"
