JVC intro’s the $199.95 XV-BP11 Blu-ray player

JVC rolling out new higher-end and lower-end headphones
JVC announced a few headphones that should be good for almost anyone, depending on how much they want to spend on headphones.
On the higher-end, JVC announced the HA-M750 and HA-S650, both of which are meant for people who want better sound quality in over-the-ear DJ style headphones. The HA-M750 looks to be those who are either amateur DJs, or wish to be so. They feature “DJ-style” monitoring through one ear, with the rest of the headphones twisting to the side so as not to get in the way.

JVC promotes that which needs no promotion
Chances are if you’re reading this you’ve probably seen The Dark Knight sometime this summer. Or you at least heard of it. If you haven’t, I congratulate you, it would have been nice to live in a cave during that media blitz. Now, you may or may not know that the DVD and Blu-ray release of the movie is coming up on December 9th. Well, if you haven’t, JVC wants to remind you.
JVC has announced a partnership with Warner Brothers to promote The Dark Knight, as if it needed help. The company is holding a sweepstakes on its Dark Knight micro-site, offering for a chance to win a JVC home theater package, and Dark Knight DVDs. Full details after the break.
JVC is bringing HD to Times Square
Its been a while since I’ve been to Times Square, I can’t even draw an image of it in my mind. It just tends to blend in with the rest of New York City for me. Almost commonplace in a way. Now at least there’s something brand new to catch my attention. JVC has announced that it will be bringing the first ever HDTV to the New York City landmark.
The screen will display at 720p and be powered by LEDs (1,266,400 of them to be exact). There is no mention of a contrast ratio, but with a size of 19′ by 34′, I doubt many people will be looking for that sort of thing. The screen will hang just one story above Times Square at Broadway and 43rd. There will also be a new 71′ LED ticker below the screen, and the JVC globe beneath it will be refurbished for the HD screen’s activation on December 2nd.
