About this deal

Its smaller, cheaper TVs are only HD-ready, increasing to Full HD when the screen size gets to 40 inches or higher.

This partially depends on personal preference, but as a rule of thumb the optimal viewing distance is about 3x the diagonal screen size of the television. JVC's name has wilted somewhat in recent years and now LG and Samsung are the biggest names in TVs, but you can still get JVC products in the UK. Just like their big-brand counterparts, most Bush TVs have smart features giving you access to streaming and catch-up apps.The Fire TV interface is very likeable despite its more sluggish moments, and being able to tell Alexa what you want to watch is a big plus. One day it just randomly says "connected no internet" when connected to WiFi, other time the WiFi just turns off all the time and doesn't want to stay on when turned back on. Those colours aren’t as intense as they should be in HDR mode, though, so don’t expect the kind of eye-popping colour which you get from pricier sets – the JVC covers a mere 70% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, which is far less than even many mid-range TVs. The limited 4GB of internal storage also means that you won’t be able to install too many apps before running out of space, and you may need to add more storage in the form of a USB thumb drive or similar before too long.

Netflix was seemingly unaffected but watching content via Disney’s streaming service was blighted with hitches and jerks throughout.

This pre-owned or refurbished product has been professionally inspected and tested to work and look like new. Products correspond to one of the following cosmetic conditions: Excellent condition - no signs of cosmetic damage when held 30 centimeters away.This 43in model struggled to get bright enough to remain watchable in brighter rooms, and with no support for dynamic HDR formats and a sub-par backlight, HDR content was unwatchably dim. Any suggestions, we went through the initial set up process twice and netflix works so we know the wifi is connected. That means you should be able to enjoy streaming HDR content from any of the main providers, with the added bonus that you’ll get the best results on any streaming service with Dolby Vision support, which currently includes Disney+ and Netflix. We cannot get freeview on the tv in the lounge where we have an aerial point and we have purchased booster aerials in the past for my daughters tv that didnt work. With LCD screens this is done by CCFL (cold-cathode fluorescent lamp) and LED makes use of LED lights.

The TV comes in three sizes – 40in, 49in and 55in – and all three have support for the HLG, HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats. Flick to terrestrial TV or standard Full HD content, and the JVC struggles to effectively upscale to the native 4K resolution.You can all but forget about the glorious, eye-popping spectacle of pricier TVs, but dim the lights and toggle the Dolby Vision Dark profile on, and you’re rewarded with a pretty watchable picture. Move even slightly away from head-on, however, and the contrast and colours fade away rapidly; the viewing angles are narrow at best. In terms of overall brightness, the JVC performs very similarly to the LG, but drops behind on HDR performance and has poor motion handling. Since getting my JVC TV, I’ve had issues with the sound cutting out and I’d have to turn off and on the TV to get it back, I put this down to the fact it’s a smart TV and sometimes even our phones act up when they need to be restarted.
