This television is the 42” version of the 37”, the Regza 37CV515DG, which we tested..
Characteristics, the panel and circuitry are identical and only brightness may vary slightly which minimally affects contrast. According to manufacturers (and our tests confirm), results from one diagonal size can easily be extrapolated to identical models of bigger or smaller sizes.
The large size of this version will accentuate the lack of sharpness with SD sources (TV, Wii type game consoles, DVDs, etc.). For this reason, the 42” has one star less than the 37”.
Pluses
-
Very nice colors
-
Large range for adjusting brightness
-
Deep black
-
HD compatible digital tuner
Minuses
-
Mediocre rescaling of SD sources
-
Viewing angles are a bit narrow
After a few adjustments, the CV515DG produces a nice image. There is just the limitation to HD Ready definition.
