Some curious news out of Sony, who apparantly are having to make some changes to compete with the plethora of lower cost LCD manufacturers which are cutting into their profits. Of course, what’s unknown is if performance will suffer from the switch or if everything will remain the same. One thing’s guaranteed, Sony sets will remain overpriced, and my Father […]
Read moreGood news for the internet video world, and not really all that surprising. Just look at how many television and blu-ray players now are focusing on streaming internet video, and of course the growing popularity of great shows on Hulu (ahem…Three Sheets!).

Would you rather have a Lexus or a gigantic television? Well, if you’re even considering this you probably can afford both! Pretty sweet news out of Panasonic for most of us to dream about, 85 inches of gorgeous plasma! Coming in at 260lbs though, I wouldn’t recommend trying to wall mount this on your own.

Includes 1080p support, bitorrent (not a clue how this works) and even YouTube XL integration. GizmoScene brite-view releases a new HD media player that follows their recently released CinemaCube(on sale $64.99). […]

This is way past my level of expertise, but if you’re willing to invest the time this is pretty awesome. Being able to get HDMI via Ethernet allows you to go much further than before…with some effort of course. Great write up over at Geektonic.

Here’s a pretty brutal review from CrunchGear on the new Harmony 900, which is basically just the Harmony One with RF capabilities. And unfortunately, that new feature is exactly what CrunchGear had the most issues with. Pretty disappointing for a remote with an MSRP of $400. CrunchGear But it’s just not the range I have beef with, it’s the […]
