JVC's Super Slim TVs debut in Singapore

Philip Wong | Aug 26, 2008

The localized JVC Super Slim LCD TVs have finally arrived in Singapore! These will be replacing the S90 European Super Slim, offering better value and streamlined connectivity. The new DynaPix HD SZ58 costs S$300 (US$213.84) less and will be shipping without the redundant SCART inputs, while retaining the series' 39mm-thin side profile (74mm at thickest point) and slim 23mm-wide panel frame.

We've previously touched on its humble dynamic contrast, though JVC has apparently introduced an alternate DynaPix engine-enhanced rating. The LT-42SZ58, for example, offers 1,500:1 native, 7,500:1 dynamic and a whopping 50,000:1 DynaPix contrast. The latter does sound a bit too good to be true, but we'll get to sample its "true" colors once we get the 46-inch model in our Lab.

Additionally, the SZ58-series TVs have full-HD panels and accept film-centric 1080p24 video signals. More importantly, they're also priced attractively at S$3,499 (US$2,494.12) and S$4,999 (US$3,563.33) for the LT-42SZ58 and LT-46SZ58, respectively. The only major caveats here are the built-in multimedia playback and 100Hz motion-enhancement omissions.
