ACV is a cheaper policy that inputs depreciation into the equation where you most likely will not get back to what you had (let's say you have a $10k TV and the insurance company believes that Television will have a life of 10 years, each year the actual cash value will depreciate 10% so a stolen TV in year 5 would warrant the insurance company to pay $5k).
