Review: Sony PlayStation 3 (BD Playback)

January 1, 2007

I’ll bet that’s a post title some of you are a bit surprised to see here but as the months have progressed since HD DVD’s launch, it has become increasingly apparent we’re no closer to deciding on the next-generation optical disc format than the day(s) they were originally announced. Just after Christmas I found myself [...]

Sony VPL-VW50 (Pearl) Review

October 12, 2006

The front projection price to performance ratio mimics the personal computer market in many ways, while processors and memory do indeed fall in price from quarter to quarter, what was adequate last quarter may not satisfy our ever growing desire for bigger, better, faster and more. Back when 200 MHz processors were first introduced 1 [...]

Sony VPL-VW50 (Pearl) Review - Continued

Image Quality:
Continued from Sony VPL-VW50 (Pearl) Review – Part 1. I had a bag full of SD and HD DVD’s on hand for the review but this being a Sony projector it just felt appropriate to pull out the Superbit version of ‘The Fifth Element’. Yes this disc has many a mile on it but [...]

OPPO DV-970HD DVD Player Review

September 5, 2006

For the last year or so the majority of the conversations I’ve had about budget DVD players, inevitably end up with “have you seen the OPPO?” to which I would reply, “Not yet, no”. Well thankfully those days are over and I don’t have to be a conversation killer when OPPO comes up.
OPPO’s first player [...]

InFocus IN76 Video Projector Review

August 14, 2006

It’s odd to think that video projectors with 720 lines of vertical resolution and 800 lumens are available for less than $3000, considering that when I got into the business a comparable projector would have sold for nearly five times that, not that we even had 720p then but that’s a different story altogether..
For the [...]

Denon DVD-2930CI Review

August 8, 2006

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending some time with the new Denon DVD-2930CI which uses the Silicon Optix Reon HQV chipset. The review took place at my good friend Raj Birbal’s ‘Home Cinema Entertainment’ in Alpharetta Georgia. I have to say it was quite a home theater geek-fest, as we not only tested the [...]

Arcam AVR350 7.1 Receiver, Review

June 26, 2006

Last week (after getting the Dwin shipped off) I had the pleasure of reviewing Arcam’s latest 7.1 surround receiver, the AVR350. To the un-initiated Arcam’s products might appear a bit different, perhaps even nondescript versus the likes of Denon, Pioneer and Harmon Kardon. With further examination however you just may discover what scores of other [...]

Dwin Plasmaimage HD-250 Review: Part 1

June 20, 2006

Founded in 1985 Dwin (the little display company that could) has a long history of exceptional video products. Back in the early days of the custom installation business, we regarded the Dwin (HD-500/700) CRT projectors as the holy-grail of video display devices. Bright, colorful, 100” images aren’t new, and neither are some of the companies [...]

Would HD Cable Let Me Down Again?
Obviously I can’t speak for the rest of the country’s cable systems, but lately my HD cable has been a royal pain in the buttocks. Sure I get great results from time to time with my Comcast HD service, but lately it’s [...]

Toshiba HD-A1 review, Part 2

April 20, 2006

So far in part one of our HD-A1 review I’ve gone through a little background, video connections, audio connections and my initial impressions. Now we’ll move ahead to the HD-A1’s video performance. Alright, it was approaching 7:30 pm here and that’s dark enough to watch a movie (don’t ask, suffice to say skylights are evil), [...]
