Hack your RPTV to double the screen size {Engadget HD}
Oct 1st 2008 5:14PM You must not have very happy friends.
Why some people prefer 52" LCD over 67" LED RPTV at the same price point is beyond me.
Go niche (big) or go home!
Mitsubishi's LaserVue 65-inch and 75-inchers due this fall {Engadget HD}
Jun 26th 2008 11:33PM It's almost the end of June and we still don't have pricing info???
My mom's pressuring me to find her a new TV. Looks like it might have to be a 61" or 67" LED set. Come on Mits, get your act in gear and give us prices already.
Entire Paramount Blu-ray catalog is back by the end of May {Engadget HD}
May 8th 2008 5:28PM "Not getting any titles from them unless it has Lossless audio."
Amen to that.
I was all happy after reading this thinking "great, now I can buy Shooter for a decent price". But my dreams where shattered when I noticed that none of the original Paramount titles have anything better than DD or DTS.
Poll: What was your favorite HD product / technology from CES 2008? {Engadget HD}
Jan 14th 2008 11:36AM Where's the Laser DLP and LED DLP love?
That would have been my vote had it been on the list.
To hell with the flat screens...unless of course they can offer what RPTV is offering at a similar price.
XstreamHD details continue to emerge {Engadget HD}
Jan 8th 2008 2:39PM You don't need to own your own bird to offer this type of service and the current iDirect platform is perfect for all that they're "said" to offer. I'd say a single transponder is all they'd need if it's not a real time streaming service.
XstreamHD details continue to emerge {Engadget HD}
Jan 8th 2008 2:24PM This is very intriguing, but depending on the size of the movies BD might still be the better way to go. 2TB is alot of storage, but not if the movies are >25GB a piece like on BD.....and what about backups, we don't all have 4TB (yet) dedicated to movie storage. Depending on price, it's shaping up to be an awesome way to rent movies. But like all new tech of this nature, it probably won't be offered in Canada for at least a year if ever.
Fox sets release dates, specs for Fantastic Four 2 & Die Hard 4 {Engadget HD}

Uhhh, you can get it on Blu-ray as well.
This article is talking about Rise of the Silver Surfer....the second movie in the series. You can't get that on HD DVD, now can you?
Study predicts RIP for RPTV's by 2011 {Engadget HD}
Sep 2nd 2007 10:24AM It's so sad that the majority of the population doesn't do any research into buying their electronics.
"Oh, look how thin this one is...I'll take it"
It's this kind of attitude that will kill the RPTV and nothing else IMO.
For right now, the pros of some RPTV's outweigh the cons of it. Anyone even considering a new big screen needs to do themselves a favor and check out Samsung's LED DLP. No chance of burn in and the light source will last the life of the TV (theoretically). LCoS looks damn good as well, but unfortunately still rely on incandescent bulbs.
As soon as Laser RPTV and Laser Projectors come out, nothing else will even compare in picture quality....unless of course SED ever comes out.
Fox, MGM strike back -- proudly unveil slew of upcoming Blu-ray films {Engadget HD}
Aug 23rd 2007 10:52AM If MGM is listening, please release Stargate SG-1 on Blu-ray already!
I own seasons 1-7 on DVD but will not touch seasons 8 through 10 until they're on Blu-ray.
If I'm not mistaken, wasn't SG-1 shot in HD since season 8?
Furthermore, Sony, where is Stargate Atlantis? It was announced back in early '06 that you'd be making it the first TV series on Blu-ray.
