Requiem for the impending death of CRT televisions {Engadget HD}
Oct 23rd 2006 3:53PM Most people are lemmings. They'll buy LCD/Plasma/DLP simply because it's what the TV companies want them to buy (conveyed by their marketing). And TV companies are doing it because the markup on the new technologies is greater (sales prices minus productions costs).
A calibrated rpCRT will beat 95% of the other screens except for some very high-end displays that are *way* out of my price range. In other words: "I won't be upgrading for quite a while."
It's a shame people are being force-fed these other technologies. Sadly, you hardly see CRTs on display at big box stores anymore, so of course they're under selling.

CableCard vs. Cable Box {Engadget HD}
Jul 4th 2006 3:42PM Personally, I think that cablecards will be back. With the Tivo 3 drawing crowds to them, the cable companies will be forced to "bump up" the availability of them.
Myself, I have a cablecard in my Toshiba 57h94, and I love it. I despise the idea of using Cox's tuner box because I like being able to have the "TV" be the tuner, and being able to use my television's remote.
As soon as Tivo 3 launches, you'll see ALOT of people looking into cablecards, and I'll be moving mine from my TV over to my Tivo. I can't wait.
