Jvc
Any comments on the quality of JVC crt sets? Did they finally outsource their crt sets ? Thanks for any info.

IMHO most JVC's were very good sets. About the mid 90's
they started to use an over complex power supply with lots of SMD's. For that & other reasons we stopped selling them after 10 yrs. All in all they were reliable & had the same common problems all others had. Even the tube sets were good, I dont remember ever lifting an iron to one. Just damper & vert tubes, clean, adjust............. 73 Zeno |

I think JVC is to Lexus as Panasonic is to Toyota...
I'm pretty sure JVC's are made by Panasonic.... Good stuff... .

Until recently, I owned a '94 JVC 27" set that had a wonderful picture and great audio.
Tuner failure is what put it down. Replaced it with a Sony Bravia.

Any idea who made their CRTs towards the end? My Grandmother the "CRT killer" had a JVC made 27" I got her in 2005 that by 2010 the picture was so dim you could barely tell it was on. She killed a couple other sets similarly since the sets probably saw 14-16 hours of use a day.

I too have read they might be related to Panasonic. This might be a good thing.

JVC's were built in Japan or in the USA until they began to outsource in the 90's. Afterwards, I'm sure they were stencil sets by Funai or something like Funai. US built sets such as their wannabe profeel sets had RCA jugs. Japanese sets had Hitachi jugs.
Now that they're married to Kenwood, I doubt they're even into TVs other than a licensed name use! |

I still have a 17 inch JVC I bought in the late 70's. I replaced one power supply capacitor a few years ago when the picture started shrinking and waving. The only other problem it ever had was needing the tuner rebuilt (older rotary knob type) after lightning hit my antenna. Very well made TV! CRT is still great!

They are usually good sets.I just got two JVC curb finds in the last two months .A 32 inch boat anchor with no problem wrong with it and a 25 or 27 incher which I just got yesterday along with a Panasonic at the same size.The cord was snipped on both sets .I still got to check them out .Probably nothing wrong with them.Both have monitor composite vid jacks which is great.

They used to be good. I know a few people who still use late 80s JVC sets. By about 2000 they seemed to go downhill; at least the ones I saw. I saw a lot of late 90s-early 2000s JVC CRT sets that looked awful by the time they hit 5 years old. They all had RCA tubes.
At least some of their LCD sets are identical to Vizio. Even the menu looks the same. Made by Amtran. |
