XP Mode is ready, will be a free download on October 22 {Engadget}
Oct 2nd 2009 7:48AM I'm currently running XP mode on Windows 7 RTM. It works really nicely! 16-bit games FTW!
The GefenTV Digital Audio Decoder -- an answer to a question we're afraid to ask {Engadget HD}
Jun 10th 2009 8:37AM Inherently this means that this little device contains a DAC. Depending on the quality of the DAC, this may be worth the price or not.
HDMI 1.4 officially detailed: Ethernet / Audio Return channels, 3D, 4K x 2K support {Engadget HD}
May 28th 2009 3:31PM I'm not worried. People who are blowing up about this 5 different choices thing are overreacting. Most of the five different choices are a quality assurance standard and it'll most likely end up that the vendors that everyone uses will end up stocking one of the types of cable.
MPEG group working on AVC replacement for Ultra High Definition video of the future {Engadget HD}
May 6th 2009 4:38AM I would be a lot happier for the rest of the encoding community to put all of this time, money and energy in doing what RED is 'supposedly' doing. I don't EVER see the need for that many pixels for a cinema application.
Computer/workstation practical applications are another thing all together. But that's not what the MOVING PICTURE Expert Group do.
802.11n to dominate the wireless HD wars, says In-Stat {Engadget HD}
May 2nd 2009 8:43AM I'll take the time machine, thanks.

Apr 27th 2009 6:10AM I'm not sure whether to take this comment seriously or not...
Sony PlayTV already working (a little) in New Zealand {Engadget HD}
Apr 24th 2009 9:10AM If this is released in NZ within the next three months, I'll definitely spring for one of these over a Freeview|HD box.
LED-infused HDMI cables add some light to your home theater {Engadget}
Apr 4th 2009 2:24AM @Luke
I have had the un-joy of using a supposedly 1.1 spec HDMI cable that would not transmit 1080p without visible noise and artifacts.
There is such a thing as a bad HDMI cable which "meets the specification".
Panasonic updates firmware for discontinued DMP-BD35 BD player {Engadget HD}
Apr 2nd 2009 1:44AM Speak for yourself (your own country, that is.) The BD-35 is still on sale elsewhere in the world. Like here in New Zealand (and by this I mean Panasonic are still selling the units wholesale themselves). And that firmware update site is the global Japanese site. So it's not surprising that the global site has a firmware update for hardware that is still on sale, right?
Is right now the best time to buy a new HDTV? {Engadget HD}
Apr 1st 2009 5:48AM I for one can't stand the motion interpolation provided by 100Hz or 120Hz (be you in the US or elsewhere). I would be more than happy to save several hundred dollars for a 50/60Hz only set.
