Summary

Midrange 24" flat JVC set from 2003. Originally manufactured by Orion in Thailand. Essentially a rebadged Toshiba 24AF43 but with compatibility with JVC remotes. The last 24" I'Art model.

Notes

Unlike the previous year's Orion-made I'Art models, this one uses a Renesas Jungle chip which suffers from misaligned chroma, red push, and black crush. Worse yet, there's obnoxious VM you can't turn off.

To counteract the red push, turn down the color saturation in the standard menu. To reverse the black crush, turn up the RGB cutoffs in the service menu. Lastly, you can disable VM by unplugging a jumper from the neckboard.

As for the chroma misalignment, an RGB mod is the only solution to fix the issue and bypass all the processing in one fell swoop.
