LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Stylish and perfect

First, I am feeling cheated right now, since I paid over [...] for this TV around a few months back. On the other hand, there is a lot of positive things about this TV which I really appreciate.
1. The picture quality is just amazing. It really has a enriched color display and your experience [...]

LG 32LH20 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV, Great choice for small room

This TV deserves another 5 star rating! It’s perfect for our bedroom. The picture and sound were great on standard settings right out of the box, although it has several alternate pre-sets and infinitely tweakable custom settings. The big menu is very intuitive but it also has a quick menu that pops up in the [...]

How do I get my TV shows in high-def?

Anyone who has experienced an HDTV playing high-def content knows how amazing it looks. But standard-definition content (such as cable, satellite, or broadcast TV–NTSC) doesn’t take advantage of HDTV’s full potential–it’s displayed at a lower resolution of 480 lines of resolution and uses a 4:3 (non-widescreen) aspect ratio.
Before taking your HDTV back and demanding a [...]

Panasonic SC-BT300 1250W 7.1 Channel Blu-ray Disc Home Theater Sound System

First off, this system can get L-O-U-D! It will be perfect in a standard household/apt and I would even say it could fill up a large living room with ease. I don’t even have the sub turned all the way up in fear of getting a noise complaint. That’s a good thing. [...]

LG LHB977 1000-Watt Blu-ray Disc Home Theater In a Box

I searched at brick and motor stores and on-line and bought this LG unit for several reasons. 1. I have several LG products and like the quality and features 2. My new HDMI 1080 TV is LG- I was hoping that the remotes would be cross compatible (they [...]

Samsung PN50B650 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV, Makes me feel I made the right choice

S. Bae sent us his review of this Plasma HDTV.
If you’re in the market for a HDTV then the Samsung PN50B650 is worth a second look. Externally, the attractive Touch of Color design incorporated into the clear beveled edged glass exudes sophistication and class. Internally, the Crystal Full HD Engine and Samsung’s e-panel technology translates [...]

What is the difference between a standard DVD player and a Blu-ray player?

DVD players show movies and other content at standard definition resolutions, while Blu-ray players show content at much higher resolutions. At a mechanical level, all DVD players use red lasers to read the information on the disc, while all high-def players use blue lasers. The blue lasers can read more information on each disc, and [...]

TiVo TCD649080 Series 2 80-Hour Dual Tuner Digital Video Recorder, A sorely needed feature added to an already great product

After years of sticking to a single-tuner model (except for the DirecTv versions), Tivo has finally released a dual-tuner model. For the most part, the only difference between this model and previous Series 2 Tivos is the ability to record two channels at once. The box keeps the look of the [...]

Sony BRAVIA DAV-HDX285 5.1-Channel Theater System

  JK posted this review and shared his experience with us.
I’ve own previous Sony HTIB systems and decided to upgrade to this system to increase quality and sound. You’d think the newer the model the better the upgrades, but I didn’t see any improvements to the last model. See the reviews for the hdx275, both [...]

Sony DVP-SR200P/B DVD Player, Made by Phillips, not Sony unlike most Sony DVD Players

Unlike most of Sony’s DVD players which are produced by Sony, this player is actually a rebranded Phillips/Yamaha player. Nonetheless, the build quality is still just as strong as Sony’s own DVD players. I also own a Phillips DVD player with the same disc mechanism as this Sony, and so far, it has plugged along [...]
