Finding the perfect universal remote is something of a personal quest for me. I’ve seen, and used, a lot of them and unfortunately I’m still on the hunt.

Dish Networks always puts on a good show at CES, and this year was no exception. There were dancing kangaroos, the CEO came in playing a drum, and there was plenty of loud music in the intro.

LG was one of the first LCD screens I bought, and it still delivers great picture for an […]
Read moreI got to see a BenQ projector first-hand when Kyle did a review on one last summer. It certainly sold me on the idea of a projector, and will be a strong contender for my next screen purchase when it becomes necessary. Their newest offering, the short throw HT1085ST can project 100″ from less than 5 feet away. It also […]
Read moreNow that’s how you title a press release…a registered name which describes what’s happening. BenQ actually released this product back in December, but is featuring it as one of their products at CES. That physics problem I mentioned in one of my previous posts? This technology is one of the ways to overcome that in a small package – via […]
Read moreD-Link announces a whole suite of products for connecting your home at CES this year.
