Conclusion	Ratings & Specs

Priced at about $2600, the JVC Procision LT-47X899 is a premium LCD HDTV with a good selection of features, including a 120Hz refresh rate and JVC's third generation Clear Motion Drive processing engine. But the performance of this display doesn't justify the price; we found that the image quality was disappointing.
