Read moreHome Theater HiFi stays true to their name with a fairly comprehensive comparison/benchmark of 6 DVD Players & 2 Video Processors. Very informative if you're in the market, they lost me after the first sentance though….I just can't keep my attention when I have to scroll 50 pages down & there's no "conclusion" 🙂 I have no quote from the […]
Read moreAudioholics reviews this 1080p projector which comes in at just under $1000 (and when I say JUST, I mean JUST, the thing costs $999).

Read moreThe Sony BDP-S1 has your usual array of option you would expect from a next generation DVD player. Options like 1080p over HDMI, support for the new HD audio CODECS, and the ability to upconvert SD DVDs are all present and accounted for.
