JVC's run-of-the-mill LCD TV's, the J300 series, brings 4 new models to shelves this year. Sized from 32- to 52-inches, all four sets offer 1080/24/30p resolution, dynamic backlight control, Smart picture technology that automatically adjusts brightness, 3 HDMI slots, and JVC's cone speakers which use an "off-center voice coil design" to direct sound at the viewer's head level. The 32-, 42-, and 46-inch models will arrive in March but we'll have to wait until August for the 52-incher. No prices have been announced.

Next up is JVC's TeleDock line of LCD TV's. Sets run in size from 32- to 46-inches and all include an integrated iPod dock. Of the five models, only the 42-inch LT-42P500 and 46-inch LT-46P500 feature Clear Motion Drive technology which smooths out motion blurring. The iPod dock is located in a flip-down panel at the bottom of each set. Docked iPod's can playback music and video controlled by the TV remote. The P-series, which also includes 3 P300 sets, offers 1080p resolution, an ATSC-QAM tuner, dynamic backlight control, a USB photo viewer, plus a variety on connection. All 5 sets in the P-Series will launch in April.
