JVC’s HD-61Z886 has a great deal going for it. Numerous features and flexible connections combined with excellent picture quality make this a great choice for anyone looking for a large-screen rear-projection TV. I haven’t reviewed any digital cinema projectors lately, but if this TV is any indication of what’s in store for the local bijou, good things are on the way.
