If you aren't interested in big screen gaming, integrated graphics will serve the purpose for most HTPCs. That is if they are powerful enough to drive HD video. For example, the 6150 based chipset does a fine job up to a certain resolution and farts out after that. Thats why with great interested I am following the details for Nvidia's […]
Read moreI haven't had a chance to investigate Auzentech's X-Meridian suitability for HTPC life quite yet. For example, I am not sure if it will pass through sound unmangled or not. If you guys have, drop a line in the comments box and let us know what you think about it. While we wait for people's responses, head on over to […]
Read moreThis really doesn't surprise me much at all. Sure downloading is easy, but so is Netflix-ing, and then you have all the "pirates" who will copy their Netflix movies. Can't do that with the DRM-heavy online movies. And it's not like you save all that much money to truly make it worth the effort. But according to ABI Research, only […]
Read moreI love this kind of article. Don't get your kid out there excercising. No, no, no. Get them indoors & watching MORE Television! YEAH! Thank god too, because I heard those Canadian babies were complaining that Spongebob just wasn't as sharp as he could be. I wonder what growing up with HD would have done to GI Joe? The youngest […]
Read moreI know I'm always harping on price, but I tend to agree with the Gizmodo guys that $2400 is an awful lot to spend on a 32" LCD. Sure saying it has 1080p is great, but is it really necessary? The 720p version is only $899. Still a lot, sure, but a LOT less than $2400. But wait, isn't 1080p […]
Read moreHome Theater Blog has a few minutes with the latest HD-DVD Player from Toshiba, and thankfully agree with the improvements made from the first version. First off the new player loads much faster than the HD-A1 or HD-XA1, I’ve read reports that clocked load times at or under 30 seconds (roughly half the time of the A1) but my own […]
Read moreWow, not sure what happened, I swear I posted this. Good looking out Jennyfur. Anyways, so what I said, Orb is just like Slingbox, only Software related for your PC, instead of Hardware you connect to your Television. And the new MyCast version is much improved, even allowing you to select the type of media you want to stream. Very […]

With a sexy name like that, how could you NOT want to buy it??? It's not ridiculously expensive, but for $3300, a lot of people want something thinner. But if you can sacrifice, apparently the picture quality is worth talking about. The HD-61FN97 is a 61" 1080p RPTV that retails for $3,299. While very similar to last year's model, the […]
Read moreJust in time for the holidays. Not sure why you'd want 32 inches when they're soon to release the 100" LCD….or if you don't want to spend $50k, this isn't a bad alternative I GUESS. Prices for 32-inch panels may fall below US$300 to US$290 in the third quarter of 2007, with quotes for 40-inch panels to also drop to […]
