In Defence of HD

Posted by Mr Butterscotch as DLP, Gadgets, HDTV, Hardware, LCD, Plasma Screens, Television

Fairly recently there's been a huge boom in the television market. In particular, this has been in relation to flat screen technology such as DLP, Plasma and LCD. This boom has been driven by a consumer need for technology that offers better clarity, sound and image quality. The rise of DVD's has also fuelled the purchase of home cinema systems. So where does HD fit in? Well according to Sky UK I will be "wowed by the difference" when watching HD. Well, is this in fact the truth? Lets put this in some sort of personal perspective. About a year and ...

Shopping For High Definition TVs

Posted by Geezer as DLP, HDTV, Plasma Screens, Television

I'm in the market for a big screen, high definition television. I'm committed to getting my TV by December 2006, just in time for the NFL playoffs. Here's what I've been learning. Specs are squat. You can read all the sales literature you want about picture quality, resolution, 720 this or 1080 that. But in the end, it all comes down to the quality of the picture. You see, I've seen lower resolution 720p DLPs look better than high resolution 1080i LCDs. Even better, I've seen Samsung DLPs with a lower resolution look better than Toshiba DLPs at a higher resolution. The moral of the story is that you should only use TV ...

Panasonic 103-inch Plasma TV Going On Sale

Posted by Geezer as Gadgets, Plasma Screens, Television

For a mere $50,000 you too can have a 103 inch plasma TV. Currently the world's biggest flat panel TV, Panasonic's 103 incher is set to go on sale in September...but only in Japan. So, if the Americans or Brits out there want one, they'll have to import. So add a couple more thousand to that $50,000 price if you're an early adopter. Hey, I want one, but that's not $50,000 dollars worth of want. I guess I'll have to wait for the 2nd generation (or maybe 3rd). Now, if only I earned, say $50,000 per month...then I just might be a first-gen adopter at 50 grand!

Sony reveals PlayStation Move

I have to admit, my mind is officially blown. Sony finally revealed its new PlayStation 3 motion controller at GDC 2010 in San Francisco, and boy is it looking good.

Dubbed the Playstation Move, the advanced motion controls on this baby makes it supposedly more accurate than that other motion controller from that little-known console from [...]
