A flat panel television that’s targeted to digital SLR users? Certainly the first time I’ve heard about that since photographers mainly use notebooks and desktop computers to view their photos.


The main thing that sets the JVC Xiview LT-42WX70 apart from other HDTVs in the market is its wider colour space. JVC certainly has a knack for coming up with unusual HDTVs, last time it was the 3D-capable 46-incher. While it remains to be seen if this product will truly deliver more colors as specified, it also depends on the user whether his or her eyes are sensitive enough to actually see the wider colour space.

The monitor features expanded color space capacity encompassing 100 percent of HDTV broadcasting’s (sRGB.904) color space and a coverage rate of 96 percent for Adobe RGB — a color space for still photographs taken on high-definition digital SLR cameras — to provide accurate reproduction of both video and still photographs. The LT-42WX70 also features 52 picture-quality adjustment properties for tweaking both still and video images source-by-source to the exact colors and tones the user prefers. In addition, JVC’s GENESSA Picture Engine produces video images without blur, color bleed or noise for clear images with smooth movement.

If your eyes hunger for more colors on a HDTV, then be prepared to fork out $2,399.95 for this digital SLR HDTV. Just in case you’re confused, this post is filed under digital SLR photography since JVC claims it as something that focuses on digital SLR users.
