The SL Series is one of JVC's premier entries into the LCD television market for 2008 focusing entirely on a slim profile featuring a maximum depth of 2.9 inches and providing a 1080p native resolution. Using similar technology as Hitachi and LG-Philips for their slim offerings, the panel itself measures 1.5 inches thick with most of the circuitry located in the center of the back of the unit. Other benefits to the slim profile is decreased weight (26.4 lbs) and reduced power consumption (145 watts). The SL series is a step up from the P-Series and X-Series featuring similar specs, but in a much thinner frame. Located above the SL Series is the flagship Procision series which contains the next generation GENESSA processor and is available in limited quantities.
