You've paid good money to load up your video iPod with movies and TV shows from the iTunes Store, but don't want to be stuck watching them on that tiny 3.5-inch screen. You can always use a $20 minijack-to-AV breakout cable to the TV--or invest $300 in an Apple TV, pulling the videos from your PC instead. But between those two extremes are a variety of options--for both on the go and in the home--that let you watch your iPod-based videos on a larger screen.

| The Bottom Line | The Philips DCP850 has plenty of appeal for video iPod users. It's among the first devices to combine an iPod dock with a portable DVD player, plus it offers good connectivity and supports useful media formats. | The Keyspan TuneView is a superior iPod remote control, especially when used for accessing videos on your TV. | The DLO HomeDock Deluxe offers an attractive but pricey way to enjoy your iPod's content in the living room. | While it's hard to say where Altec Lansing's iMV712 mini home theater for the iPod fits into the home, it does up the ante for iPod speaker systems. | The Sonic Impact Video 55 provides a convenient way to watch and share video on the go. If you own an iPod, don't want to lug around your laptop, and have 300 bucks to spare, it fits the bill. | If you don't mind its bulk and the tablet form, the jWin iLuv i1055 is a decent combo device for playing DVDs or iPod videos while you're on the go. |
