Home Theater HiFi stays true to their name with a fairly comprehensive comparison/benchmark of 6 DVD Players & 2 Video Processors. Very informative if you're in the market, they lost me after the first sentance though….I just can't keep my attention when I have to scroll 50 pages down & there's no "conclusion" 🙂 I have no quote from the […]
Read moreAudioholics reviews this 1080p projector which comes in at just under $1000 (and when I say JUST, I mean JUST, the thing costs $999). But hey, still better than most with the same features, so yeah, go get one of these too while you're at it. For $2999 this projector would have a TON of competition and would be difficult […]
Read moreSound & Vision Magazine review a droolworthy 50" Plasma from Pioneer's Elite series. No surprise that they love it, but of course, it aint cheap! But we know you all have the money anyways, so go get one! You expect a very crisp high-def picture from a 1080p TV, and the Pioneer Elite PRO-FHD1 definitely delivered. Watching another scene from […]
Read moreEngadget pointed out this clever mod from a member of the TIVO community. Seems he just didn't have enough storage…so he did the reasonable thing: Upgrade to 1 friggin terabyte! …expanding the capacity of his Series3 TiVo from the standard 250GB to a whole terabyte, which takes the S3's total recording capacity up to a possible 131 hours of HD […]

I personally prefer Orb's price of Free 😉 But nonetheless, still pretty cool. By the end of the year, Sling plans to launch a version of SlingPlayer Mobile for the […]
Read moreThe Westinghouse LVM-47w1 is a 1080p LCD TV devoid of a lot of features you would find on high end TVs. In fact you can really only count on the input connections as features for this set. If you think about it, it should be fine for most owners as a lot of people us a cable box, or MEdia […]
Read moreThe Sony BDP-S1 has your usual array of option you would expect from a next generation DVD player. Options like 1080p over HDMI, support for the new HD audio CODECS, and the ability to upconvert SD DVDs are all present and accounted for. With a MRSP of $999, it is very very very surprising to see the BDP-S1 not have […]
Read moreMore then one or two owners have been denied CableCards for their series 3 TiVos. Zatz talks about their frustration in dealing with Cable companies and also posts a letter that TiVo sent to the FCC. It seems to be a mixed bag of results when trying to get a CableCard for a 3rd party device, I guess it depends […]
Read moreI am not sure I have heard of a 1440p resolution before. Not letting standard step in the way of progress, CMO is releasing a 2560X1440 47" Quad HD LCD TV. Slated for production in Q2 of '07, CMO's QHD will have a brightness of 450 nits, a contrast ration of 1500:1 and a response time of 6.5ms. From the […]
