Along side the rev to Kodi 15.2, there are few other notable changes mentioned in the release notes. So make sure to have a quick […]

This isn’t really new news but it was the first time I’ve seen confirmation from a reputable source that 2015 LG OLED models will be (are?) updated to support HDR. This is fantasic, and really the only reason I would have said to hold off grabbing one of these panels if your budget allows. @robertheron

Most people we know may be serious gamers, overclockers, enthusiasts and professionals who are pretty much always after high-performance when it comes […]

If you’re in the market for a reasonably priced projector, you pretty much have to take a hard look at BenQ’s lineup. The BenQ HT3050 is one of three new full HD 1080p resolution home theater projectors being released by BenQ this fall. Priced at $999, it is the middle option, being a step up from the HT2050 at $799, […]

Frankly, it seems a bit unconscionable that Microsoft was still selling the Windows Media Center Pack after they euthanized the DVR software with the release, and nag-you-to-update, of Windows 10. Well this is coming to an end… If you want to add Windows Media Center to your Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 system via the addon media packs that Microsoft […]
