JVC's 32-Inch, LED-Backlit TV Is Just a Quarter-Inch Thick
At Cedia UK, JVC is showing off its 32-inch LT-32WX50, which appears to be a close relation to the 7mm-thick GD-32X1 we heard about earlier this month. It's extremely thin, and carries it well. More »

Monster SuperThin HDMI Cables Really Are SuperThin
Monster's SuperThin HDMI cables aren't just marketing noise, they're real, and thinner than the anacondas most people have jacked into their TVs. RedMere's tech lets them skimp on heavy-gauge copper, so they're just 3.5mm around. More » -

JVC GD-32X1 32" HDTV Is a Quarter-Inch Thick (If You Ignore Its Bulbous Ass)
JVC is no stranger to ultra-thin HDTVs, and the GD 32X1 is, by all accounts, their slimmest 32-inch 1080p screen ever. But to outright say it's 6.4mm thick is a little bit of a stretch, don't you think? More » -

JVC Invents, Fills a New Niche: HDTVs for Photographers
JVC has taken a curious marketing strategy for their Xiview LT-42WX70, touting it as the first HDTV that "targets digital imaging professionals." The TV can display 96% of the Adobe RGB color space, and boasts an absurd number of color adjustment parameters. (55!) JVC even goes so far as to occasionally refer to it as a "monitor," which is weird, because it's not. More »

1080p DivX Support Coming to LG HDTVs in May
LG has announced support for full 1080p DivX video in their new line of TVs, which begin shipping in May. LG has always been quick to try out new—if sometimes marginal—technologies in their TVs, like DivX playback from mass storage, which LG introduced in 2007. Similarly, this feature is great news for those of us who want a convenient way to playtorrented Blu-ray ripsour HD home video collection, but will mean absolutely nothing to the majority of people who buy the sets.
