JVC is hot on Sharp’s heels with a HD TV with Blu-ray built in, the JVC LT-42B300.
JVC has posted details online of its first hi-def all in one, the LT-42B300, and it’s not a bad looker. The 42inch LCD panel will be full 1080p, sport two 10-watt speakers and offer three HDMI plugs, though with Blu-ray already sorted you may struggle to fill ‘em.
As logical as they are, TVs with PVR technology inside are still pretty scarce. There’s the ludicrously expensive Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 9, the comparatively cheap Medion Life TV, and now JVC’s first screen with built-in TV recording, the DE9 series.
Having waited until now to launch its first Blu-Ray player, JVC’s pulled out all the stops with a DivX playing, media streaming disc spinner that promises to fling all your video to the telly, no matter what shape it comes in.
So you want to share your footage with the world, but can’t be bothered offloading, compressing and uploading it? Luckily, JVC has just the thing.
