It's apparently not
too late for
THX to squeeze its high definition test material onto a Blu-ray disc, as it's informed CNET of plans to do just that. Look forward to an "expanded version" of the THX Optimizer that ships with certain movies, but built for a less technical audience than a disc like
Digital Video Essentials. Of course, the box probably won't include a sticker to proclaim your generic LCD THX-Certified, but you'll always know it is in your heart (or maybe you won't, since the company declined to say exactly what the "secret sauce" of factors is that garners a display the special label).

THX, not what it used to be.
Now it seems as long as you pay them enough money, you can get your product certified.

Despite claims of cash is king, no product ever submitted for THX certification has passed on the initial tests - additional mods and testing have been done on every product that bears the certification.

A little off topic, but does anyone know if Comcast carries a box with HDMI? My current set up uses component then it gets converted to digital before going to my reciever. I get a few milliseconds of audio lag that is unbearable.

As far as I know all of their HD Motorola boxes have HDMI. Mine with and without DVR both have.

The new HD Comcast boxes do have HDMI.

Nice, something (remotely) to do with George Lucas on Blu-ray! Maybe he's pondering...how he can make the most money out of this.

This sort of thing should be a pack-in with home cinema amps.
