I've had the JVC 61FN97 for 2 months now

I'm a pretty happy camper. I've looked at LCOS sets for several years now-the biggest single improvement on the 1080p sets over 720p is the inclusion of a dynamic iris. The black levels and shadow detail are now good enough to satisfy me.

Gripes? Well, the infamous silk screen effect is visible, but much less so since I calibrated the picture with Digital Video Essentials. It's hardly a deal-breaker for me, although YMMV. The geometry is slightly off, but that's the case with every set I've seen. Mine has a slight upward bend in the upper left hand corner, but you don't notice it with most program material. The picture wasn't centered very well out of the box, but I was able to fix that in the service menu. If you watch TV late at night with the volume very low you'll hear some fan noise-again, not a deal breaker for me.
