Undoubtedly, some of you guys and gals are going to be giving or receiving flat panel televisions as gifts this holiday season; and I wanted to pass along a deal on the most overlooked accessory for Plasma and LCD televisions (well for those of you planning on mounting them on the wall), the wall-mount itself.
Looking [...]

March 13, 2007

Bit of a departure here today, nothing earth-shattering but I wanted to share some of what I learned about the fire-sale CompUSA is currently running. You’ve no doubt heard by now that the electronics retailer is closing

HDMI 1.3 Not as Close as You Might Think

August 18, 2006

I noticed with (minor amusement) several recent announcements stating “HDMI 1.3 chips ship to manufacturers” while others reported “HDMI 1.3 in production” while true on both accounts the full story paints a slightly different picture. Unfortunately many of these articles emphasized “in production” and “shipping” but downplayed or outright omitted some rather important details from [...]

July 26, 2006

Surge protection

July 21, 2005

Alright I’ll try not to make this some long boring spiel about how important surge protection is, but I’m sitting here in the middle of my “collection” of A/V gear and it dawned on me, 90% of this stuff hasn’t had a warranty since Bush Senior was in office, what would I do if lightning [...]

Year end recommended home theater gear

December 16, 2004

With the end of the year rapidly approaching, I wanted to recap what I felt were some of the better equipment buys for 2004/05. It’s been a big year for home theater, with the refinement of surround receivers, and the continuing expansion of HDTV. I expect 2005 will be the biggest year for HDTV thus [...]
