JVC LT-42DV1 42in LCD TV

The slim, relatively 'green' JVC LT-42DV1 performs well and can even be switched on by clapping your hands!

The 42DV1 also improves considerably in design terms over the 42DS9. For while I was initially suckered in by the 42DS9's then-groundbreaking slimness, on reflection its finish felt a touch plasticky for comfort. The 42DV1's bodywork feels more robust,...

JVC LT-42DV1BJ review

This might be a bit of a looker and have an affordable price, but in reality there's little to get excited about here

Styling is decent ; price is competitive ; punchy whites and vibrant colours

Blacks appear grey, only Freeview, when others give you Freeview HD ; motion can be a problem

Despite the price and the looks, there’s very little for us to get excited about here

JVC LT-42DV1BJ review

JVC's LT-42DV1BJ is a super-slim full HD whopper with novel handclap technology

Decent colour palette ; Inventive features ; Gorgeous design

Poor black level response ; Wobbly motion handling

A curious mix of unusual features, bold styling and generally mediocre performance

JVC LT-42DV1 review

JVC's second-generation Super Slim LCD TV introduces a new contrast-boosting backlight, improved design, and, um, handclap control

The 42DV1 is a very likeable TV, but struggles to match the best for black level performance

JVC LT-42DV1

Covering these in order, the 42DV1's slimness finds it less than 30mm deep for the majority of its rear end, giving it a really futuristic look from most angles - even though the screen's depth rises to a less jaw-dropping 69mm for a central section...

Plus points Great slender design, good pictures for the most part, powerful sound, plenty of features

Black levels decent rather than great, viewing angle limited, sound can distort
