JVC EM48FTR

 

JVC's Emerald series of HDTVs with Roku deliver decent performance and connected features at a reasonable price.

Inexpensive. Includes Roku Streaming Stick. Solid contrast and warm picture.

Roku Streaming Stick leaves only two HDMI ports free for other devices. Uneven color accuracy. Shadow details can look occasionally washed out.

Power and Conclusion Under normal viewing conditions, the EM55FTR consumes 100 watts. The screen doesn't have any notable power saving features. It falls squarely in the middle of the road for power use, comparable to the Vizio E550i-B2's 103 watts....

Damaged

 

I order this flat screen on-line because of the price and size. It shipped and delivered as expected, however, it was received with a cracked screen. I must admit I did have reservations about having a flat screen through the mail, thinking it was too...

Great tv for a great price!

Big TV, Little Price, Smarter than many Smart TVs

 

I love my JVC 48" TV w/Roku stick. It's big enough in my living room so I can feel like I'm in a theater. It has great sound and picture. I can stream HD content ad infinitum on more than a thousand channels thru the roku stick, which is seriously...

Do not use site to store shipping

 

I'm sure this tv could have been a great TV but site to store ruined it all. Time of delivery 7-10 business days. You will read a text or email notification 4-5 hours after they have received your item. After all of that pray that the whole TV screen...
