There are three different technologies projectors use to create an image: DLP, LCD, and LCoS (as shown in the image above). What’s the best? Let’s compare. First, the abbreviations (cribbed a bit from “Projectors vs. TVs: Giant-screen pros …

Screen Innovations Black Diamond Zero Edge Screen Innovations TVs are great and all, but if you want really epic entertainment, you need a projector. One-hundred-plus inches of high-definition awesomeness. Projectors, though, are a two-piece system. There’s the projector that gets all the attention, and the lowly screen that actually lets you see an image. There are many choices when it …

Recently, there was quite a hoopla when it was reported that Panasonic would no longer be developing plasma as a TV technology. According to Panasonic, this isn’t true. However, it does bring up some interesting questions. Because there will be a time when plasma television development (and production) does come to an end. LCD too, for that matter. The timing …

Despite countless reviews and articles proclaiming plasma TVs as having better picture quality, and costing less money, LCDs continue to dominate sales charts.

A recent CNET review of the Monoprice 9774 by Matt Moskovciak and Steve Guttenberg revealed that, beyond striking physical similarities, they sounded nearly identical to the more-expensive Energy Take Classic speaker system.

Geoffrey Morrison The Epson Moverios are heavier than my regular glasses. I’m not sure I mind. Since I first got glasses in the fourth grade, I dreamed about them having some sort of built-in head-up display, feeding me real-time data about the world around me. Two seconds into the Google Glass launch video, and I said, out loud, “SHUT UP …

When you feel the rumble in your chest, that’s bass. Most of us want this at home, but with myriad subwoofers out there — and even more specs and sizes — what’s the best choice? Though …

However, there are multiple ways these LED backlights can be arranged, and that arrangement can have a dramatic effect on picture quality. So here’s your guide to all the different versions, with …

Without them, every TV show would look different on every TV. To help with the adoption of Ultra HD, otherwise known as “4K,” they’ve put out the sexy sounding Recommendation ITU-R BT.2020.
