The upcoming JVC LT-42WX70 is no ordinary flat-panel TV for the average consumer. This full-HD 42-incher is a professional-grade monitor with an expanded color gamut ideal for the digital imaging industry. The LT-42WX70 will easily cover up to 96 percent of the Adobe RGB color space used in desktop publishing, as well as the full color spectrum under the current HDTV broadcast standard.

Editors' note:

This article has been updated with official specifications from JVC Singapore.

For maximum print accuracy, the panel offers up to 52 image-related adjustments and six gamma settings to dial in colors. To keep the LT-42WX70 lean and "focused", the panel is shipped without a TV tuner which is available as an option in a separate external A/V media box. Without this addon, the TV will come with only three HDMI 1.3 and a PC input, which is more than reasonable for a sleek 13.3mm-thick panel--depth excluding the pole speakers.

According to a JVC spokesperson, the company is still fine tuning the final specifications and there's currently no firm plan to launch the LT-42WX70 in Asia.

Here're some of the tentative specifications for the LT-42WX70:

50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio

6.5ms response time

178-degree viewing angle

100/120Hz Clear Motion Drive III

New DynaPix Perfect HD engine

Deep Color/x.v.Color-ready

Three HDMI 1.3 inputs

One PC input (shared with component-video and composite-A/V via bundled adapters)

Bezel with black leather-like texture

Touch sensor panel

Removable pole speakers
