You are correct only if people sit at average american household viewing distances from the TV screen. You are also correct that the Xbox Series X and PS5 will not really be able to output video at 4k120 with high graphics quality settings enabled. They'll be lucky to do 4k60 consistently, so...

"SmartVektor(TM) technology", "Signal Conditioning", " analog sound enhancement device"... meh sounds like a lot of jargon. Also 808man, having "no digital whatsoever in the signal chain" doesn't mean that the audio quality will be great; There can be poor analog only designs as well...

It's nice to have a standard... if it's practical... that's another matter. At least the TRUE IMAX theatres will have a standard for digital distribution of their movies for people sitting 0.75x the height of the screen away. Also the Ultra-Uber-Retina 4320x7680 11.6" Mac Air to be...

It's not entirely clear in the article, but does this app actually take any audio measurements? It looks like the app only measures relative angular changes. So one gets a pretty display of the angles, but nothing about real life performance. (I don't own an iOS so can't check out the app...

What I want to know is if Pioneer has added on-screen overlay of Volume and Input information with the source audio/video in the background yet. I have a VSX-1120 and it has a "full GUI overlay", but it blanks out the audio and video when it's up, and doesn't show what input is active, it's...

Gene, nice, thorough review... I can never find fault in your technical reviews, but I have to disagree with one statement: Wow! really Gene, tell us what you feel. ;) Unfortunately you're judging a book by its cover... like you, I originally thought that Lady Gaga was a wannabe Madonna, but...

Wow, after reading the review, then going to emotiva's site and finding the price is $429 with free shipping made me think LONG and HARD about purchasing this sub.... I don't need it, but damn, it's a great deal for what it is... So I backed away from the "buy" button after much thought...

I agree. 3D doesn't automatically make a bad movie good. But as long as the studio can earn more than the cost of 3D conversion, they'll keep on doing them. I also can't see how 3D can make the human sports we watch now any better than the huge leap in quality that HD vs. SD had for sports...

Cool story... almost got *all* the heat factors taken into account... I've never understood the women and "candles" thing... so many house fires caused by candles. But then again, *understanding* women is not important, because it's impossible. They put up with my quirks, I'll just have...

I was fearing that the article would say: "Oppo BDP-80, just a BDP-83 with a cheaper case!" :eek: That would have caused another firestorm. But if the proprietary SOC video processing turns out to be half decent, it would be a complete Budget Videophile's best-choice... it already looks...

Sprint used to offer a femtocell for $99 with a $5 a month fee (usually the $5 was waived if one complained.) I paid $50 for my refurb unit (direct from sprint) and was waived the $5 month fee. The only catch is that you use minutes from your cell phone plan while they use your broadband...

Seems really strange that Sony's signed on... Sharp probably has a lot of patents that will prevent the other manufacturers from building ultra-thin LCD's. Also the success of the low end LCD brands that has the established players circling the wagons and joining together to fight the chinese...

I agree with the affordable part... Re: 480p vs. 1080p... Probably when people start watching <$1000 65" TV's from 15' away. 40" is the minimum for resolving 480p at 15', it's ~76" to resolve 720p from 15'. Joe's not going to be able to physically resolve the different between 480p and...

Great article. It's not just online music, its online MEDIA (music, movies, books, games) Maybe it's time that a law was passed that required all companies that sold DRM'd material to store the ownership records and setup authentication servers at a third party license distributor that...

Yes, played the Piano and Violin Yes, not very often on a Piano weighted hammer action Studiologic SL-880 (FATAR) Midi Controller connected to my PC. No, none of the cables that were mentioned. The last "pro" audio cable I bought was a 20' MIDI cable from Guitar Center about a year ago.
