\nIf you\u2019re looking for an inexpensive LED TV to go in a guest bedroom or kitchen, then you\u2019ll likely be happy with the JVC EM42FTR, a 42-inch 1080p TV for $439. The best perk about this TV is that it includes a Roku 3400 streaming stick, which you can plug into the MHL HDMI port to access all of Roku\u2019s streaming services, such as Netflix, On Demand, Hulu Plus, and others. Overall, the TV has good brightness levels, although the semi-clear reflective panel may show some glare from lamps or other lights in the room. The TV doesn\u2019t have a color management system, but you can tweak the color, backlight, and brightness settings to your preferences.
