There’s a certain audience who will see this 400-disc changer for $1900 and consider it a steal–just remember Sony’s older DVD Changer cost over $3000!!

Well, looks like that integration of Vudu with LG TV’s has gone live pretty soon after the announcement. Seems to be pretty similar experience to the Vudu boxes, but I’ll withhold judgement until I see a full review. C|Net We took it for only a short test drive, but Vudu on the 47LH50 felt nearly identical to the experience […]

Nice little box, very simple design but this thing seems to be feature filled and at only $100 is going to really push the other extenders out there.

And unfortunately, that new feature is exactly what CrunchGear had the most issues with. Pretty disappointing for a remote with an MSRP of $400. CrunchGear But it’s just not the range I have beef with, it’s the […]

Read moreI love the design but think it would be even better withOUT the touch screen itself. The actual form factor of the base is pretty attractive and I could see it fitting in rather nicely with a home theater, but that giant screen sure will stand out unfortunately. Pretty slick for a dorm or bedroom though. Engadget Even better […]
