Manufacturer description
JVC's slim LCD TVs feature a cabinet that across most of its width measures a mere 1.5 inches (39mm) deep, with a maximum depth of just 2.9-inches (74mm) at the panel's center. The design ensures that from nearly any angle, the sets present a super-slim appearance. Complementing the slim design is a thinner bezel, further minimizing the presence of the cabinet. The slim design was made possible through the use of a JVC-developed slim panel backlight unit and power supply substrate, or chassis. The slim LCD panel backlight unit is 40 percent smaller in depth and bezel width compared to a conventional LCD backlight, measuring just 0.79 inches (20mm) deep and 0.51 inches (13mm) wide. In addition, the unit weighs only 26.4lbs (12kg) and consumes a mere 145W. Efforts to reduce the depth of an LCD panel backlight result in uneven hot spots appearing on the LCD screen surfaces because CCFL light sources are brought closer to the liquid crystal panel. To overcome this problem, either light-diffusing plates are applied or more CCFL tubes are used. But the former approach can result in lower brightness, while the latter approach can be costly and increases power consumption. JVC's display engineering team succeeded in developing a slimmer backlight unit by optimizing the light-diffusing plates and light-reflection sheets, as well as improving its overall composition. This provided uniform light-diffusion at all the corners and edges without the addition of more CCFL tubes, while maintaining adequate luminance to ensure that the screen always remains bright. JVC also developed a slimmer yet efficient power-supply substrate and employed a direct-mount configuration for it on the LCD panel backlight unit with a fan-less heat dissipation system to further reduce power consumption. The JVC super-slim LT-46SL89 will be VESA compliant for easy wall mounting.User opinions

Fantastic picture quality and size!
Pros: Picture quality, size, NO blurring during the fastest scenes, good looking tv and weight. Good black levels.
Cons: Built-in speakers could be a littler better, a little more control over picture settings, USB host istead of SD card slot. The remote isn't too attractive.
Review:
I have no regrets getting this TV. I paid more than I would have for a samsung or a sharp but the PQ is simply flawless.
It has great color reproduction and hopefully the reliability I've enjoyed from JVC for 10+years with numerous other products of theirs.
