For a while there, manufacturers were concentrating on large sizes, now it’s depth that is all important. TVs are big and you can get one up to 150 inches if you’re rich and bored, but how thin are they? Chances are they are not thin enough to match your wall art. That’s all about to change as companies race to put out the first super-thin LCD TVs.

JVC is about to show off a new prototype of a 32-inch LCD HDTV at CES this week. It’s unique because it’s a mere 7mm thick and weighs in at just 11 pounds, which thinner and lighter than your TV. Most laptops no longer weigh that. Since it’s a prototype, it won’t be showing up on store shelves anytime soon, but with everyone racing to get them to consumers, it won’t be a long wait.

JVC is ready for the holiday season and has unveiled two more Everio camcorders in Japan: the 60GB GZ-MG840 and the 120GB GZ-MG860 that will record videos in a DVD-resolution 720×480 wide format while combining both a hard drive and a microSDHC memory card as its storage.

They also feature a special YouTube capture mode that allows you to record YouTube-friendly videos that won’t need to be converted later, helping you save some time. Both models feature 42x optical zoom with image stabilization. The GZ-MG840 will retail for about $757, while the GZ-MG860 will go for about $811.

JVC just rolled out their 1.75″ 8K4K D-ILA (Direct-Drive Image Light Amplifier) which is capable of outputting 17x full, 1080p high definition from a projector.

That’s the equivalent of a 35-megapixel image at a stunning 8,192 x 4,320 resolution. JVC managed to increase the ratio of area per pixel by 50% over its predecessor’s 4,096 x 2,400 LCD panel that was developed in June last year. That’s pretty damn impressive. I guess JVC now holds the title of World’s first real Super Hi-Vision definition device. The commercial release is set for sometime in January next year. It will likely be expensive, but you never know.

At the CES show this year JVC is launching a new line of their Everio hard disk camcoders, ranging in features, hard drive capacities and even coming in four different colors. JVC is also touting this new lineup to currently be the worlds smallest HDD camcorders available at around 20 percent smaller than the previous models.

All these camcorders utilize a hard disk drive to store video and pictures, ridding the need for discs or tapes, and they come with HDD capacities of either 30GB or 60GB and with or without docks depending on the model. They all also feature an SD card slot, 2.7-inch widescreen LCD and a new touch-sensitive scroll bar to the right of the LCD screen for navigating the menus and selecting videos. This sounds like it would be nice since it still allows easy touch navigation but lets JVC use a better display and avoid finger prints all over it, as what happens when using an actual touch screen.

With so many iPod accessories on the market today it’s tough to make one stand out from the others, especially with clock radio docks. JVC is making an attempt to stand out this year and unveiling this clock radio at the Consumer Electronics Show which that docks not just one but two iPods, making it twice as good, right?

The JVC NX-PN7 dock features a clock and timer and we’re making an assumption that it has an alarm that will play music from the iPod, but JVC did not mention that specifically. It would also be nice if this clock radio was a dual alarm that would play a different iPod with the different alarm, but unfortunately there was no mention of that either.

JVC continued its announcements of new CES releases as it unveiled what it is calling the world’s thinnest LCD TVs with built-in tuners. These new LCD televisions consist of the 42-inch LT-42SL89 and the 46-inch LT-46SL89.

Both models offers 1920 x 1080p resolution and feature a cabinet that across most of its width measures 1.5 inches (39mm) deep, with a maximum depth of 2.9-inches (74mm) at the panel’s center. Also part of this new design is a thinner bezel. These models also weigh less and consume less power than many conventional LCD TVs.

For those that want the easy way to connect their video-capable iPods to the television for video viewing, JVC has just announced from CES its new line up of P-Series LCD TVs with integrated iPod docks. These models have no specific pricing announced yet.

The new P-Series consists of the the 32-inch LT-32P679 (pictured), 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. All sport an integrated iPod dock, letting users interact with an on-screen menu for selecting music or video. The included remote control offers a “circular keypad with a control scheme that mimics the iPod’s control wheel.”

JVC has some new ear buds set to launch sometime early in February that employ a little more natural materials than most with the housing made out of real wood. Birch wood, to be exact, was the material of choice for the designers of these $130+ ear buds. After all, real wood wood works well to encase larger speakers so why not use it for really tiny ones too?

The HP-FX500 ear buds don’t skimp on performance either, according to JVC. The buds use hybrid drivers, a damping gel inside to reduce jittering and help with noise cancellation, and they have a sound range from 8Hz up to 25kHz. Also, like most ear buds, they come packaged with a carrying case and multiple sized rubber tips to fit different sized ears.

JVC, after recently introducing some new in-ear headphones, is back today this time with some ear cup style headphones which are considered high end. The new JVC HA-S900 is priced at around $130.

JVC said its HA-S900 headphones deliver what is described as high quality sound reproduction through “the use of a carbon compound diaphragm mated to a ported ring that controls the diaphragm’s movement, or sound pressure level, and so provides greater detail across a wide frequency range.” Listening is further improved by the sound insulation qualities of the ear pads, blocking out most ambient noises.

JVC recently debuted some new in-ear canal headphones which comes with a plug to make it iPhone compatible. The JVC HA-FX300 headphones are priced at around $100.

The JVC HA-FX300 headphones come in black, red and bronze color choices. JVC says the headphones use a variety of sound enhancing technologies to make the listening experience better. This include “an aluminum evaporation diaphragm, a new internal dual-metal structure and aluminum housing.”

JVC today unveiled what it is calling the industry’s first plug-and-play HD Radio receiver. The JVC KT-HDP1, priced at around $130, should be available now.

The JVC KT-HDP1 makes use of three kits for installation in home and car locations. HD Radio data is displayed on the device’s full dot matrix LCD display. Other features, according to JVC, include white backlight and blue key illumination, 5-way navigation keys, 18 FM and 6 AM preset channels, HD Radio station scan and seek and 3.5 mini plug audio out.

JVC is getting ready to bring another high definition hard disk drive camcorder to market for those who want higher end video recording conveniences. The new JVC HD Everio GZ-HD3 will go on sale in early September for around $1,300.

The JVC HD Everio GZ-HD3 has a 3-CCD image sensor and is capable of doing 1440 x 1080 HD style recording. It has a processing engine which processes images from the sensor in native progressive mode to keep HD quality. It also sports a Konica Minolta HD zoom lens and a built-in 60GB hard drive for upwards of seven hours of HD recording.

JVC has added another model to its line of noise canceling headphones. This time around the company has unveiled the top-end HA-NC250, priced at around $200.

The HA-NC250 headphones from JVC will debut early next month. It has a number of noise blocking features, such as feedback technology, to eliminate a reported 85 percent of outside sounds. These headphones further back up these claims by employing a double housing structure and memory foam built into the ear pads to further isolate undesired sounds.

Ah, the beauty of 1080p definition. JVC has four new HD LCD televisions that deliver 1920 x 1080 imagery via a 32 bit processor chip that improves color and image quality while reducing unwanted graininess and noise.

The 688 series has the 37-inch LT-37X688 ($1,599) and the 42-inch LT-42X688 ($1,999) in a swanky black cabinet finish out now while the 788 series 42-inch LT-42X788 ($2,099) and the 47-inch LT-47X788 ($2,699) arrive next month with their silver trim finish.

JVC’s Digital Image Scaling Technology upconverts all signals to 1080p and there is a built-in ATSC tuner and Clear QAM tuner for terrestrial and cable signal reception. You also get nine aspect modes, four picture modes, a newly designed universal remote with dual infrared transmitters (in case you’re holding it upright while flicking), a 10-watts-per-channel amplifier, twin oblique cone speakers, two HDMI v1.3 …

JVC has unveiled what may well be the world’s largest HD television. Though you may never be able to move it due to its 730 pound weight (!) you’ll still probably get tons of jaw-dropping looks watching the 110-inch HD-110MH80.

This monster of an HDTV, though not as big as this 200-inch projection television showing off a PlayStation 3, brings its 1920 x 1080, rear projection experience up close and personal. One thing JVC seems to be making a big deal about with this television is its 110V type large picture. This is apparently the same electric power consumption as a 37V type liquid crystal television.

You of course get all your other standard HDTV offerings like onscreen program guides, built-in speakers, component video input, broadband connectivity and also two HDMI inputs. The HD-110MH80 also looks to …
