In 2006 JVC promoted 32- and 37-inch LCDs that used 1366×768 resolution, 120Hz motion modes, and Clear Motion Drive frame interpolation to reduce blur, plus MaxxBass audio processing. Since then, plasma disappeared and LCD evolved into LED and competing OLED technologies. Today's TVs prioritize 4K resolution, HDR, native 120Hz support with VRR and low-latency game modes, integrated smart platforms, and often external or upgraded audio for better bass.

How LCD/LED panels replaced plasma

In the mid-2000s flat-panel LCD TVs began to outsell plasma sets for many buyers. LCDs offered practical advantages for smaller screen sizes: they were less prone to permanent "burn-in," generally had longer lifetime, and performed well at higher altitudes and in bright rooms. By the mid-2010s most major manufacturers discontinued plasma lines and LCD-based LED backlit panels became the mainstream display technology.

What JVC brought to the market (historical note)

Around 2006 JVC introduced 32- and 37-inch LCD models that emphasized higher refresh and motion processing to reduce blur in fast action scenes. Those sets used 1366×768 native resolution (wide-XGA) and promoted a 120Hz motion mode plus JVC's motion-scaling processing called Clear Motion Drive to insert interpolated frames and reduce perceived motion blur. They also highlighted speaker design and MaxxBass® processing to improve perceived low-frequency output on thin cabinets.

How those features compare to today's TVs

Display resolution: 1366×768 is now considered entry-level. Most modern TVs start at 1080p or 4K (3840×2160).

Refresh and motion: 120Hz refresh remains important for gaming and fast sports. Today's high-end sets combine native 120Hz panels, variable refresh (VRR), and low-latency game modes - improvements over earlier motion interpolation systems.

Motion processing: Motion interpolation (frame insertion) is still used, but manufacturers now pair it with backlight strobing, higher native refresh panels, and advanced cadence detection to reduce artifacts.

Smart features and connectivity: Modern TVs include built-in streaming platforms, Wi-Fi, and HDMI 2.1 on gaming-focused models (supporting 4K/120Hz and VRR). These are features that were not common in mid-2000s sets.

Audio: Thin cabinets still challenge low-frequency reproduction. DSP enhancements such as MaxxBass remain relevant for improving perceived bass, while many buyers now add soundbars or AV receivers for fuller sound.

Bottom line

The core ideas from the 2006 JVC models - better motion handling, stronger audio processing, and compact designs - remain relevant. But display technology has moved on: higher native resolutions, smarter software, game-friendly connectivity, and refined motion systems are the expectations for new TVs today. If you value motion clarity and low lag (for gaming), look for a modern set with a native 120Hz panel, HDMI 2.1, VRR, and a dedicated low-latency game mode. If deep bass is important, plan for an external audio solution or a TV with substantial DSP and larger drivers.
  1. Confirm exact JVC model numbers and official model names (LT-37X987 and LT-32X987) and their announced release months in 2006.
  2. Verify the original official specs: native resolution, claimed refresh rate implementation (native vs. interpolated 120Hz), and marketing name "Digital Image Scaling Technology" and "Clear Motion Drive" for those models.
  3. Confirm the use and branding of "oblique cone" speaker design and the inclusion of MaxxBass and a 20-watt amplifier in JVC models referenced.

FAQs about Jvc Flat Panel Tv

Are LCDs still better than plasma?
Major manufacturers stopped producing plasma TVs by the mid-2010s. Modern LCD/LED and OLED displays have surpassed plasma in brightness, efficiency, and image processing. LCDs avoid permanent burn-in, which was a plasma vulnerability.
What does 120Hz mean and does it matter?
120Hz refers to the panel's refresh rate (120 frames per second). It matters for smoother motion, reduced blur, and for gaming at high frame rates. Look for native 120Hz panels plus features like VRR and low-latency game modes.
Is 1366×768 resolution acceptable today?
1366×768 is now considered low resolution. For most buyers a 4K (3840×2160) or at least 1080p set provides a noticeably sharper image, especially on larger screens.
Do motion interpolation systems still help?
Yes - motion interpolation (frame insertion) can reduce perceived blur, but it can also create the "soap opera effect". Modern TVs combine interpolation with higher native refresh and better algorithms to reduce artifacts.
How can I improve TV bass without a large cabinet?
DSP technologies like MaxxBass can enhance perceived bass, but for fuller low-frequency performance a soundbar with a dedicated subwoofer or a separate subwoofer is recommended.
