Only for PCs at this point... I assume... They claim their new chip has more number-crunching power than a 3.6GHz Pentium4... http://www.tomshardware.com/consumer/20050516/index.html

I can tell right now this may wind up a popular DVD when it arrives due to the powerful audio and beautiful backdrops, but the movie itself was really unremarkable. Spend three hours tweaking your home theater and you'll thank me later. The acting was a tad on the cheesy side, the scene...

Yamahaluver, I'm looking in your direction. The reason I'm asking is that previous Yamaha receivers, like the now discontinued 5790, showed the THD rating to be .03% @ 1KHz (if memory serves). The new 5890 claims a THD of 0.7% @ 1KHz! What's with the dramatic spike in THD? Are these THD...

The new anniversary edition is out at Best Buy ($15.99) and it has two versions of the film included: Theatrical with 2.35:1 / DD5.1 IMAX with 1.66:1 / DTS / 24 minutes cut out What. The. F***. Why no DTS with the theatrical? I certainly don't want to miss out on 24 minutes of...

I had never heard of this brand before, but there's a store here in Richfield called Audio Perfection that carries them and I was really impressed with it. It's the entry-level sub for $1,100. I think it was the Q150E Mk II. I went there looking for a sub around $500 and very quickly was...

I just picked up a pair of these Klipsch speakers at Best Buy - the last two they had - and they sound wonderful. They claim they used to sell for over $400 each, but I suppose they'll say anything... Did I get a good deal?

It doesn't have DTS 6.1 - it looks like it's just the SuperBit version with lots of added content on a second disc... anyone know for sure? I know a lot of people regard TFE as the best looking DVD on the market.

I was able to view this lovely device in action last night and the video enhancements were surreal. The depth and silky-smooth frame transitions nearly made me wet myself. At $5,000, it's not out of my price range, but I did kinda want to get a Chrysler 300C in the spring... I don't need...

Ultra high resolution television (UHDV) prototype Posted by Sean Byrne on 29 September 2003 - 11:32 Japanese engineers have been testing out a prototype of ultra high definition video (UHDV) which has 16 times greater image resolution than today’s best standard HDTV. UHDV uses 4,000...

... is a great transfer. It's not labeled SuperBit, but the film quality is so sharp! It's one of the best looking DVDs in my collection, I have to say. It also includes a DTS soundtrack. Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison in one $20 pack at Best Buy right now.

I'm just curious if the EEs offer the greatest overall picture and sound compared to the "standard" LotR releases. I've resisted purchasing any of the movies so far in order to get them all in a trilogy pack. I know they are in DTS, but I'd just like to know if the picture is improved over the...

My copy of Top Gun - anamorphic with DTS will ship in a couple days! I suppose I could pick it up at Best Buy on the 14th, but I might be getting the better price through Amazon...

To those that have them already, any advice? These are the specs: 3.0GHz P4 Dual-Channel 1GB DDR-400 Radeon 9600XT 256MB Dual DVI Dual 40GB SATA 10K RPM Raptor HD in RAID 0 SB Live Audigy 4 Pro 16X DVD-RW+/- Logitech diNovo Cordless Desktop Here's the case I chose:

Here's what my HT room looks like, what would be the best locations and material to place ON the walls/ceiling/floor? It's a cement floor with a 1/4-inch carpet. I'm not going to put anything behind the drywall... I'm not a rich man, but I am kind of a DIY guy when it comes to this stuff...

I was at Best Buy last night (like usual) and this one really stood out from all the other plasmas they had on display. The richness of the color, the brightness and contrast, and the fluidity of the image really caught me off-guard. What blew me away was that it was the cheapest plasma they...

For those of you that enjoy videogames or have a friend that enjoys videogames, play Halo 2 for Xbox on your HDTV and surround-sound setup. The audio is stunning and seriously rivals any DVD I've ever watched... er, listened to... The picture is 480p widescreen, but is much sharper than any...

I've got $2,800 to spend on an HDTV. That is the MAX, no more. DLP is out of the question unless it is a 3-chip TV. The ghosting and rainbow effect really bother me. My current 46" really sucks and my previous 50" isn't really worth it. Native resolution has to be at least 1280x720...

Since Intel announced it was removing itself from the LCoS business a couple weeks ago, does this spell doom for DLP competition? As I understand it, LCoS is Intel's patent... will someone else pick it up? Are companies still going to be able to produce TV based on the technology?

When I'm playing videogames, surfing the web, or watching a movie requiring me to change my focus to different areas of the screen quickly, I see these flashes of red, green, and blue in vertical stripes. If I try to do it, I can make them appear with ease, but they appear frequently just from...
