At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) last week, JVC showed off four new HDTV LCD sets that included built-in iPod docks to make video viewing from iPod easier than ever. Each of the four new models, including three full HD 1080p sets, features JVC's new TeleDock, a flip-down iPod dock at the base of the set, providing a direct connection for playback through the TV.
The new JVC P-Series includes the 32-inch LT-32P679, 42-inch LT-42P789, 47-inch LT-47P789 and the 52-inch LT-52P789. The LT-32P679 is a 768p model, while the others offer 1080p resolution. A menu appears on the TV screen for selecting music, music shuffle or video playback once an iPod is docked. Using the TV remote control, content on the iPod can be navigated through and played back easily, using a click-wheel-like design.
Song titles and artist names are displayed on the TV screen when songs are playing. Low resolution video content, such as internet videos, can be displayed in a small screen mode. Higher resolution video can be shown in nine aspect modes at full screen. There's also the option to play music files while the TV displays television programming. In addition, the iPod will charge while docked whether the TV's power is on or off.
