2012 models

[cantonlax11 10+ year member]

Hi, I have recently been looking into the new 2012 double din models that have arrived this past month and I have narrowed my choice down to three HUs:

- Pioneer AVH-P1400DVD

- JVC KW-AV60

- Kenwood DDX319

As you can see, I am not looking for a very expensive model. My main concern is the peppiness of the ipod functionality of the HU (my main use). I want something that can load the mp3's on screen with as little lag as possible. I understand these are new models but if anyone has any input on which would be the best buy I would really appreciate it.

Ive only messed with the pioneer 1400DVD and JVC KW-AV60. Out of the two, Id pick the pioneer. The jvc on the other hand is detachable and the pioneer isnt.

Yeah the detachable face and higher resolution on the JVC are nice but I do like the pioneer for some reason as well, plus it's $50 cheaper

eh, I dont know if thats true or not. We put the same movie on both and the picture quality looked better on the pioneer. Also, youll have an 8 band eq with the pioneer. The jvc is only a 3 band.

"The KW-AV60 features a 6.1" TFT Active Matrix, 16:9 touchscreen monitor. The screen has a resolution of 800 (H) x 480 (V) x RGB with 1,152,000 total pixels."

"The AVH-P1400DVD features a 5.8" TFT Active Matrix, 16:9 widescreen touchscreen display. The resolution of the display is 1440 x 240, for a total of 345,600 pixels."

Correct me if Im wrong but more pixels = higher resolution
