Agree, especially on the high end. Seems like everywhere you look, there's a $500 HDTV or laptop for $100 off. But the $2000-$3000 high end HDTVs for $400-$600 off are nowhere to be found. Maybe...

Seems like amazon is finally rolling out a bunch of HDTVs in various sizes including 3D ones. Not amazing discounts so far off their regular prices, but you can find all their deals under their...

Find out where your studs are before you buy a mount. Sometimes, the position of the studs make it hard to center your TV where you want it depending on the mount. Longer mounts allow you more...

Making the complex books into a trilogy of movies, a lot of the story had to be changed or cut for the theatrical releases. LOTR is one of the few movies, IMO, where the restored scenes actually...

Why must it be the non-extended editions? Do you work at Best Buy? This is a cut and paste from the ad scan from tgiblackfriday:

Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Trilogy - Blu-ray

Looks...

BB lists the extended LOTR blu-ray for $44.99 in their black friday ad.

The previous low was around 70 bucks. So yes, extended LOTR for $49.99 is good. The wild card is whether the box set will be a "door buster" for black friday and go even lower.

3D doesn't seem to be making much of a push this year. Not good since this would seem like the time for the format to come in to its own. Not sure what Amazon will offer this week. But in the...

I dunno, Transformers DOTM for $14.99 or the Jurassic Park Trilogy for $29.99 seem like pretty good prices to me. It's just that they're buried in the flood of discounted titles coming out listed on...

Well, it used to be you waited for Black Friday and they'd have a dozen or so deep discounted blu-rays that day or throughout the week each day. In just the past 12 hours, they released around 50...

IIRC, the DVD of 1 was one of the original DTS releases and had pretty amped bass for the time. Not surprised they made another great mix for the blu-ray.

Well, maybe more action but not necessarily less cheesy or more realistic. In 2, having the tough merc types firing their automatic weapons uselessly over their heads while running away like little...

Nothing changed in the source information. So the signal coming from a blu-ray player contains the same color information that it sends to all other TVs. What Sharp did was take the regular signal...

Is color accuracy a problem inherent in the Quattron technology? The extra yellow being better for pop but not for accurate color reproduction?

I'm also looking to replace a secondary flat panel some time in the next year and certainly don't mind paying a premium price for a premium product. But the biggest change I can think of other than...

Should be an interesting read after you do get your hands on one. Although it sounds like the shootout had these sets calibrated and they still concluded, "It fared the worst of the six contenders...

These new Sharps sound more like a quattron LED with great black levels because of the local dimming than an evolution of the original Kuro plasma technology. And IIRC, Panasonic either bought some...

So the Sharp is an Elite in name only, with an Elite price but without the overall Kuro performance? IMO, it sounds seriously over priced if they couldn't even get the color accuracy down.

You don't have to live in a cave to appreciate a Kuro plasma's great picture. Just don't have direct sunlight streaming in and reflecting off the screen. A moderately lighted room works fine. ...

It still sounds annoying if everyone has to wear the glasses.

This only works if you never watch it. But then, you will at least have to go through the motions and pretend to enjoy it ... ;)

Welcome to the dark side ... it really hasn't looked or sounded...

Not to mention some scenes in the OT work better if you don't know some of the mush Lucas inserted later in the series.

***Spoiler***






Like Leia being Luke's sister. Turns some...

Interesting many of you think it's supposed to be watched 1-6. The contrast between the end of 3 and the beginning of 4 sort of jars one out of the movie series because too much stuff was added to...

Lucas is 67 years old. Unless he's baking some clones at skywalker ranch, I'd say you've only got 5-10 years before he can't tinker with his films anymore and you get your classics restored to their...

Mine shipped out nearby. Will be here tomorrow too. Good thing I'll have the place to myself in the evening. Been some time since I've had an excuse to give the system a full workout, starting...
