Strengths: Connectivity, component video pictureWeaknesses: Somewhat sensitive to unshielded sub placed nearbyBottom Line: The D series gives you a real nice picture, esp from the DVD connected via a good component cable. If you are looking for something of real quality in between the $$$ Sonys and the low price Sharps out there in the 32" world, this is it. (I refuse to get digital TV until it gets more widespread and less $$$).
Was surprised that a 6th Ave store here in NJ matched an internet price of $598 (was listed in store at $699) I had been trying price match w/ Sears, but you know the drill w/ those lame stores...not in stock, not sure how long if you order it, yadda yadda.
The BBE and HyperSurround give passable TV sound from the small side mounted speakers, which also yield good stereo separation (vs. bottom mounted speakers).
The side mounted speakers also yield a small 27" cabinent top to bottom, which helped it fit nicely into my entertainment center w/ its existing AV component shelving above the TV.
The remote lights up, but only the CH and VOL buttons, which are easy enuff to find by feel anyway because of their position and shape. Hey JVC, why not make the light feature REALLY useful and light up the channel number buttons and some of the other critical function buttons like INPUT select.
And now if I can only figure out how to split/re-wire my stupid cable box in order to use the PIP...

Strengths: Great Picture, plenty of A/V inputs + component video inputWeaknesses: Speakers vibrate at lower bass soundsBottom Line: Great value of quality and the price. Compared to other similiar 32" tube TVs, this one is the winner. It has lots of A/V inputs, 2 S-video inputs and component video input. PIP is a real plus (yes, it has dual tuner).
The speakers are little shaky when it comes to lower bass sounds, specialy at higher volumes. I'd recommend to get external sound system (receiver + good quality home theater speakers).
It has built-in rating protection chip, however the password setup is not protected - any 8 year old kid can reset it.
Remote has VCR controls, which lets you to eliminate on remote (except recording operations).
Pluses: great picture, very sleek design (side positioned speakers make it look more like wide angle TVs). Remote navigation is really nice and simple.

Strengths: Outstanding picture, sleek look, priceWeaknesses: none that I have detected so farBottom Line: After looking at a number of different reviews and going to various stores, I was left deciding between this JVC, the Toshiba 32A41, and the Sony KV 32S42. All seemed to be fine TVs, but I felt that JVC's quality balanced with price (I did an online pricematch at Sears) won out. I don't think you can get more bang for your buck (unless you drop PIP and go w/ the 32D302, but Sears doesn't carry and Circuit City wouldn't come down from $599 on the 302 model). I think that in order to get a better picture, you actually need to jump to the Sony's Flatscreen model (or other makes for that matter). The connectivity is outstanding. Just a very fine TV overall. Highest marks!

Strengths: Excellent picture quality. Images are very crisp and clear.Weaknesses: None that I have found yet.Bottom Line: After looking a various brands and models I decided to purchase the JVC. The quality of the TV and the price that was listed was what brought me over to purchase this TV. It has excellent picture quality that is almost as good as Wega but not with the expensive price tag. The multiple inputs are great for hooking up DVD players and VCR's, and Cable boxes. This is great TV for person on a buget like I am when it comes to audio video electronics.
