Blacks & Whites


Both TVs had similar black levels and peak brightnesses. The JVC LT-32J300, however, featured an auto-dimming feature that couldn't be turned off. This feature results in detail being lost in certain situations. A bright object will appear dimmer than it should if the majority of the screen is black.
