Sorry for the late posting of the podcast roundup, traveling for work this week, but it’s here! Is it just me or is there a TON of podcasts in the past week. Guess it’s the month of October, including one of my favorites–HTPCentric!  Enjoy! Joining us this month is Brent Evans of Geektonic.com.  Brent’s been a SageTV user for some […]

I can’t say that CNET’s conclusion came as a surprise, but it was nice to see the VT25 maintain its crown as 2010’s best HDTV.   The PNC8000 is an excellent performer, and deserves the silver medal among plasma TVs we’ve tested so far this year. In addition, we’d wager no other as-yet-announced TV will outperform either one in 2010. […]

In looking at this slideshow, I’m a bit underwhelmed really. A lot of rehashes from previous years, and an awful lot of speakers, but nothing with a real wow factor IMO. I’ve seen and heard Martin Logan’s though, and they are impressive…so I’ll start you all with their pick. MartinLogan’s electrostatic models are made for showing off in media rooms […]

Couple of podcasts covering CEDIA’s high end show. Enjoy! The summer blockbusters have started making their way to Blu-ray and DVD and we’ve got the lowdown for you starting this week.  It’s been a long dry summer but we’re finally getting some quality content and a good number you’ll want to consider adding to your collection. [The Movie Podcast: Sept. […]

If you can’t put in a 5.1/7.1 surround system a soundbar is a great way to make a big step up from the TV’s speakers without breaking the bank or pulling wire.    To test the soundbar state of the art and explore the breadth of offerings, we rounded up four models. Customarily in such comparisons, we pit similar products […]

There is a lot to like in Panasonic’s plasma line-up this year.  For those not interested in 3D, but want Netflix the G series is an affordable way to get an excellent TV.   The 50-inch TC-P50G25 is a THX-certified, 1080p plasma TV: It features Panasonic’s 600Hz Sub-field Drive to improve motion resolution, as well as the new Infinite Black […]

Sorry for the day late on this, but that just means more podcasts for you all! Lots of good variety this week in our roundup of podcasts, so enjoy! Are you ready for football? If the North American variant is not to your liking, you’ll probably want to skip ahead because between true 5.1 finally arriving on Monday night, Sunday […]

Perspective is an interesting thing.  I use ProMonitor 1000s across the front of my home theater so it’s easy for me to agree with the reviewer’s overall conclusion (that they sound really good), but I wouldn’t classify anything Definitive Technology makes as "budget".   The first thing that impressed me was how much they reminded me of the much larger […]

Lots of good variety this week in our roundup of podcasts, so enjoy! Picking The Right RAID Mode, Roku Gets More Affordable, Steve Jobs: 720p is the New HD! Apple TV 2.0, Plex: Goregous Interface for OS X Home Theater, Which home theater calibration certificates are worth the money, and the Blu-ray releases for September 7th, 2010.
