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 on a larger, laptop-like screen. The hard case also doubles as a speaker cabinet for the pair of 1.25-inch 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; dual headphone jacks for long plane trips; 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. ** Due to a recent change in Apple iTunes software, the 3rd-generation iPod nano and the 6th-generation iPod classic no longer will broadcast a video signal to the Video 55 when docked in the docking connector. With Apple's software change, the only way to view video on any existing video player, including the Video 55, is to purchase Apple's iPod Composite Video Cable, available at Apple retail stores and Apple online. What's in the Box
Video 55 system, AC adapter, car charger, video cable, carrying bag, remote control, iPod insert adapters, cleaning cloth, quick setup guide, user's manual.

 The best companion for the best ipod generation 5.5G and PS2 November 29, 2008
When I bought this gem, I was looking for an ipod player dock that had a TV-in and a TV-out because I wanted to have a companion to my slim PS2. Most people review this by its iPod greatness, but its true worth is pairing it with the slim ps2. I go with the US Army to training for a month and everyone loves the Video 55. I carry my PS2 and the V55 in my backpack and rip it in the barracks. It's very portable and my 80GB ipod is the best. I truly believe that the 5.5G ipod is still the best one to come because at the end it's just music that they got. It's not like that Ipod classic or Ipod touch can even dream to compare to the sound quality of the Sony Walkmans. Had Apple changed the chip for sound in the Ipod classic then it would be worth the upgrade, but they missed by changing the video chip in the classic, thus making many ipod docks obsolete. Get a 5.5G ipod and this gem and all your movies will be the envy of everyone. :)
Awsome Sound Quality November 12, 2008
While the screen is super nice too, what I was amazed by is the sound quality of the small speakers! You can turn it all the way up with no distortion, close the top and use it as an ipod boom box. Really nice.
pretty good for the price November 8, 2008
got this on buy.com for under $50. It was a pretty good grab for that price. The screen is ok, definietly better any ipod or touch screen, especially for plane trips. Battery last about 4-5 hours, and the speakers are good enough to listen to in a hotel room when on the go. The design is decent also. If you can get it for less than [...], id say go for it
A terrific value October 29, 2008
I just got one of these from one of the discounted sellers, and I'd have to agree with those reviewers who describe the feeling of getting a whole lot more than they paid for. This thing is heavy, but not in a bad way, it just feels like a solid piece of equipment.
I like to be able to show clients interim versions of video projects, and I like it best when the method of showing them a video can reinforce their positive impression of the whole working experience. This unit does that by demonstrating good, compact design and substantive performance. An impressive touch is the well-designed slot for storing the remote internally. It makes you think, "Why don't all remote-controlled electronics have that?"
I was pleased with the image I was able to get by tweaking the settings just a little bit (it seemed truer when I lowered the contrast some and darkened the brightness just a tiny bit).
And the sound is very good for a unit of this size. I understand why some reviewers mentioned just using it for music playback.
very cheap price October 29, 2008
The rpice is 40% less than what i paid for the same product at COSTCO
