JVC is one of the world's leading developers and manufacturers of sophisticated audio, video and related software products. Building upon a wealth of technologies the company is moving decisively to offer appropriate solutions for the multimedia age. To remain at the forefront of the audiovisual industry in the 21st century, JVC is marshalling its resources to create the ultimate in appealing, cost-competitive products.

The AV-65WP74 rear-projection HDTV monitor, a member of the acclaimed I'Art Pro family of monitors, incorporates JVC's D.I.S.T. (Digital Image Scaling Technology) 1080i, which upconverts and displays all signals in full 1080i resolution. That means more you'll view everything with more than a thousand horizontal scan lines--more than double the number from DVD players. An outboard ATSC digital tuner or set-top box is needed for DTV reception, but with or without a true high-definition source component, this set offers a bevy of high technologies--many of them proprietary--to ensure stellar images from any source.

JVC has updated its DSD (Digital Super Detail) circuitry with new 75 MHz HD DSD edge correction, and the company's unique Natural Progressive picture improvement technologies optimize signal quality just before the picture is displayed on the screen. The 10.95 million-pixel Natural Progressive technology doubles the image data in each field and uses 3D interpolation to display a solid image with no noticeable scanning lines, eliminating jagged edge noise and image trails. Other enhancements include TheaterPro 6500K color temperature, Digital Noise Clear circuitry, Natural Cinema 3:2 pulldown (with on/off capability) for all telecine sources, selectable velocity scan modulation, white-character correction circuitry, and convenient front-panel-access auto convergence.

A DVI input with HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) lets you enjoy uncompressed transmission and display of high-definition digital content. Connections include dual auto-sensing component-video inputs to ensure the best possible picture quality, whether the source is HD cable, HD satellite, DVD, or D-VHS. The set also features three S-video inputs, four composite-video-based AV inputs, dual NTSC tuners with a 12-multi-index window display, and a dark-tinted screen shield with a scratch-resistant coating. For outstanding audio performance, the AV-65WP74 offers BBE High Definition Sound Enhancement and new Advanced Hyper Surround Sound to complement the 20-watt bass-reflex speakers. There's also a center-channel speaker input, subwoofer output, and AV CompuLink III for connectivity with other JVC AV products.
