The super slim display supports 100 percent of the HDTV broadcasting (sRGB.904) color space and 96 percent of the Adobe RGB color space. Not too shabby for an LCD display eh?

• 120Hz Clear Motion Drive III reduces blurring

I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to drop by the JVC booth at CES 2009 but luckily we have their press releases so let’s take a look at what new products are in store for the new year.

First up, we’ve got two new DVD/VCR recorders from JVC – the DR-MV80B and the DR-MV150B. Yes, apparently people still want a VCR – mostly because consumers probably still have loads of home video on VHS tapes. Both models support VHS to DVD dubbing – a nice feature to have if you are one of those with loads of home video – as well as 1080p upconversion via HDMI. Both models support DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and DVD-RAM discs for recording and playback. The devices can also read file formats such as JPEG, MP3, and WMA and support Dolby Digital and DTS HD decoding.

The DR-MV150B adds an ATSC tuner into the mix – allowing you to record either standard definition or high definition content. The DR-MV80B lacks the tuner but comes with JVC’s Timer Link which senses a signal from a connected set-top box, automatically powers up the recorder, and begins recording. Recording stops when the program ends.

Both recorders have HDMI, component and S-Video outputs, composite outputs and inputs, and coaxial/optical audio outputs.

The DR-MV80B will be available for $199.95 while the DR-MV150B will be available for $249.95. Both will be available this spring.

Thanks to this DivX press release, we now know that JVC will be launching their very first Blu-ray system in the form of the NX-BD3 Blu-ray Home Theater System.

So let’s see – we’ve got iPod docks all over the place these days. We have standalone iPod docks, we have iPod docks as part of speaker systems, we have iPod docks as part of portable speaker systems or even boom boxes. Yes.. we have iPod docks integrated into LCD displays also and yes.. we have iPod dock stands for standalone A/V receivers. THUS, it would only make sense for someone to come out with an LCD HDTV that comes with an integrated iPod dock. That’s exactly what JVC did last week with the introduction of four new HDTV sets – three of which offer full HD resolutions. The new iPod dock is called the TeleDock and it’s a flip-down iPod dock located at the base of the TV set providing a direct connection for playback on the TV set.

The four new models are the 32-inch LT-32P679, 42-inch LT-42P789, 47-inch LT-47P789 and the 52-inch LT-52P789. The LT-32P679 is only model NOT a 1080p model (offering what JVC calls 768 p resolution).

Once you dock an iPod to the JVC HDTV set, a menu will appear on the television screen allowing you to control playback on the iPod. The iPod can also be controlled by the TV’s remote control which includes a circular keypad that has a control scheme similar to the iPod’s control wheel.

Other features on the new sets include:

• Displays song title and artist name during music playback
• During video playback, low resolution files can be displayed in a small screen mode. Higher resolution video files can be shown in nine aspect modes
• You can also play music during television programming
• Universal remote control
• New on-screen menu system
• Side-mounted USB photo viewer
• ATSC/QAM tuner
• Three HDMI inputs, two component inputs, one S-video input, SPDIF input and analog audio output
• 10 watts per channel speaker system

Prices are as follows: LT-32P679 has an MSRP of $999.99; the LT-42P789 has an MSRP of $1599.99; the LT-47P789 has an MSRP of $2199.99; the LT-52P789 has an MSRP of $3199.99. All but the LT-52P789 are available now. The LT-52P789 will be coming out in August.

Ah the race for the world’s thinnest display – does it really matter if your display is 50 mm or say.. 70mm thick? I suppose for bragging rights it does to some companies. In any event, JVC plans on introducing the world’s thinnest LCDs with built-in tuners in July as part of their Procision series of HDTV sets. The new slim sets measure 1.5 inches or 39 mm deep and have a maximum depth of 2.9 inches or 74 mm. There will be two screen sizes available – the 42 inch LT-42SL89 and the 46 inch LT-46SL89 – with both offering full HD resolutions at 1920 x 1080.

According to JVC, the new thin bezel was made possible thanks to a new JVC developed slim panel backJVC, LT-42SLlight unit and power supply substrate or chassis. The new backlight unit is 40 percent smaller in depth and bezel width compared to conventional LCD backlight units.

Now reducing the depth of the backlight means CCFL light sources are closer to the panel than ever before which can result in uneven hot spots appearing on the display. To overcome this problem, JVC has optimized the light diffusing plates and light reflection sheets and improved the overall composition resulting in a more uniform light-diffusion at all corners and edges without the need for more CCFL tubes.

Other features include:

• Three HDMI inputs
• Two component inputs
• One S-Video input
• PC input
• Front touch-sensor controls
• Headphone jack
• USB picture viewer
• Illuminated universal remote control

The LT-42SL89 will be available in July for $1899.99. The LT-46SL89 will also be available in July for $2399.99

You can categorize this one under “Why hasn’t someone thought of this before?” Since more and more households have one or more iPods, it makes only perfect sense that someone would eventually want a dual iPod docking station. That’s exactly what JVC announced today with the NX-PN7 – the industry’s first dual iPod docking stations. The system can accommodate two iPods side by side charging them both simultaneously. You can also choose to play back music from either iPod through the dock’s built-in speaker system. The dock also comes with an AM/FM tuner, clock, timer, remote control, and an analog audio input for connecting other audio devices. The remote control also comes with dedicated iPod control keys that simulate the iPod control wheel layout. There’s also an NX-PN7 model which supports the Apple iPhone. The new docking station is now available for $149.95.

JVC is launching the new Everio S Series memory camcorder, the GZ-MS100, which offers one-touch video uploading to YouTube. The GZ-MS100 is smaller than the current Everio G Series camcorder lineup and weighs a mere 0.60 lbs including the battery. The GZ-MS100 records video straight to an SD card instead of a hard drive which helps to lighten the overall device.

One-touch video uploads is provided by a Cyberlink software application which you’ll need to install on your PC.  Creating a video suitable for YouTube is pretty straightforward. The GZ-MS100 comes with an UPLOAD button which works in two ways. When you’re ready to shoot a video, press the UPLOAD button and then the trigger button. This will limit the video recording to a maximum of 10 minutes which matches the YouTube file size limit. Once you’ve finished your video recording, connect the GZ-MS100 to your PC and then press the UPLOAD button again. This will launch the Cyberlink application and upload the recorded video to YouTube.

Features of the JVC Everio GZ-MS100 include:

• Laser Touch Operation
• Scroll bar and buttons are touch-sensitive
• 2.7 inch LCD display
• Auto Backlight Control
• Auto Power ON/OFF – open the LCD to power-on and start shooting
• 2 hour 5 minute battery life with BN-VF808 rechargeable battery
• KONIC MINOLTA LENS – 35x optical zoom
• JVC proprietary Gigabrid Engine
• Six digital noise reduction systems improves S/N ratio by 30 percent
• Integrated MPEG-2 encoder
• Program AE with shooting modes (Night, Twilight, Portrait, Sports, Snow, Spotlight)

The JVC GZ-MS100 will be available in June for an MSRP of $349.99.
