NBC’s “Heroes” triumphs over Fox’s “24”

So what were you watching?!??! Apparently, Howie Mandell is a sexy sexy man, and has destroyed the head to head matchup with Prison Break. Hrmmm….game show or original content drama/action television show. What did you guys watch? The 8 p.m. hour went solidly to "Deal or No Deal" (16.9 million, 4.8/12), which beat "Prison Break" (9.9 million, 4.1/11) plus repeats […]

Sharp XV-Z20000 1080p DLP projector

107sharp.1

The obvious question: Is the $11,999 Sharp an overpriced dinosaur in the age of $5,000, 1080p projectors? My answer is an unequivocal no. As impressive as some of those new, less expensive projectors are, my experience with them so far suggests that the Sharp produces a more detailed, vibrant picture. As with all things, there is a law of diminishing […]

Pioneer PDP-5000EX 50″ 1080p Plasma

panasonic-pro-fhd1-plasma-tv-front-main

With an MSRP of $10,000, this is definitely drool-worthy, and maybe overkill. But then again, I'm sure prices will come down as more manufacturers release more 1080p plasmas. When would you need full HD on a 50" plasma? Well, to put it bluntly: when you want to sit up REALLY close and really see every detail. If you're planning on […]

Sony VPL-VW50 Projector Review

sony-vpl-vw50-projector-front-main

Not the most glowing review, but not bad either. And for a Sony, it's pretty affordable at $4000, so at least worth a second look. The Sony VPL-VW50 (Pearl) projector packs quite a punch – it's a new level of performance and resolution at an affordable price, but is definitely not perfect. Details can be lost in mixed bright/dark scenes. […]

Sharp Aquos 32″ 1080p TV: Overkill?

I 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 […]

JVC HD-61FN97 HD-ILA 1080p RPTV

Tongue Out

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 […]

Engadget HD Review: Panasonic PT-AX100U

pana_total

I'm sure there's SOMETHING wrong with this unit, but if there is, the guys at Engadget sure can't figure it out. They kinda like this sub-$3000 projector, and there seems to be plenty to like. Let me just say right off the bat that this Panasonic projector is outstanding and if your looking for a review filled with negativity, this […]
