Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Completely portable and rechargeable, the Video 55 speaker/display system from Sonic Impact gives you the power to decide where, when, and how you watch and listen to your iPod. The Video 55 is distinguished by a carefully engineered hard case that holds a crystal-clear, 7-inch widescreen LCD display on the inside with a 480 x 234 resolution, letting you watch extended-length videos with friends or just enjoy TV shows or YouTube videos on a larger, laptop-like screen. The hard case also doubles as a speaker cabinet for the pair of aluminum cone neodymium drivers, which team with the Class D digital amp and advanced Maxxbass technology to deliver an enhanced bass response, minimal distortion, and an overall frequency range of 100 Hz to 20 kHz. The resulting audio sounds terrific whether you're listening to the latest OutKast album or watching a big-budget music video.

Users will also dig the Video 55's contemporary yet timeless design, which offers a perfect fit for just about any home or office decor. The Video 55 is also uncommonly rugged, making it an ideal companion for such outdoor activities as camping trips or backyard barbecues. And thanks to the efficient three-phase rechargeable battery, the Video 55 delivers a remarkable four hours of battery life. Other details include a convenient battery charge display light, which lets you easily keep track of the remaining power; a built-in docking station that works with any iPod with a 30-pin dock connector; an auxiliary input for older iPods, MP3 players, and other audio devices with 3.5 mm headphone jacks; such charging options as an AC adapter and a car charger; and an infrared remote control.

The all-black Video 55 measures 8.7 by 1.7 by 6.5 inches (W x H x D), weighs 2.4 pounds, and is backed by a one-year warranty.

What's in the Box

I already own one of these, bought it from Costco for a lesser price than this, but they are not carrying it anymore. I bought this one for my Uncle who spends a lot of time out of home and gets bored otherwise.

Good Points:
1. Gives you what you expect from a portable i-pod Video player, but is good for listening to songs too.
2. Comes with a soft cloth bag for protecting while you travel
3. Fairly intuitive in operation
4. The power charger is the same as used by Sony PSP, avoids carrying two chargers if you are travelling

Bad Points/ Scope for improvement:
1. Battery lasts 4 hour, there is no longer life battery available (at least not that I could find). One would hope that we start seeing some standardization in battery's for portable devices...but i guess that is a long time to come.
2. Some functions only work with the supplied remote (or at least i could not figure out an easier way to do that from the main console)
3. Does not play DVD (but for the money, right on to what you would expect)

Overall, a good option, does what it is meant to, with no major disadvantages which would prohibit you from buying it.

This review is from: Sonic Impact Video 55 iPod Speaker/Display System (Electronics)

This is ridiculous, this player description does not tell you that it WILL NOT play 3rd Generation IPODS videos or newer at all. Your required to go to Apple and purchase a cord that they do not have in stock. And from Looking at the Nano , there is no way this plug will work. Its got to be plugged into the Nano and then routed to the outside of the player , which means you cannot close the played with the cord sticking out.
It playes music great but WILL NOT play the Videos on the IPOD. Whats the point in the screen if you cant play videos?
