Projector review: JVC DLA-HD 950
Feb 09, 2010 - 11:01 AM - by TelevisionsFlo
Projector review: JVC DLA-HD 950
Bright and contrast-rich — another winner from JVC



Picking up where the HD 750 left off, JVC’s DLA-HD 950 (~7,000 USD) improves on one crucial aspect of its predecessor’s performance — the colors are more faithful. Our only real criticism of the device is that these new, improved colors come courtesy of the THX mode; and once THX is... [Read More]

Save power in your home cinema
Feb 08, 2010 - 1:10 PM - by TelevisionsFlo
Save power in your home cinema

Home cinemas can produce annual energy bills that run into the hundreds — but it’s not always the obvious offenders that do the most damage.
Turning off your TV at the socket might only save you a couple of bucks each year, while the hidden consumers continue to draw tens of watts without the user realising.

Chargers and power supplies are especially worth keeping an eye on: Many people don’t realise that the transformers used in these will keep drawing approximately... [Read More]

Harley-Davidson Soda Machine Sweetens Attic Theater
By Arlen Schweiger
An LED fiber-optic ceiling, 2.35 projection and touchscreen controls also make this attic theater conversion rock.

We love it when homeowners express their passions or hobbies in their home theaters. We’d already seen Harley-Davidson show up in one cool theater environment, and here it is again in a completely different context.

For one thing, this New Jersey theater is a dedicated... [Read More]

3D contact lenses?

3D contact lenses?
No joke: polarisation filters onto your eyes.

Televisions.com reported today on news that 3D contact lenses are soon to hit the market.
But what impact can we expect this to have on the 3D viewing experience? Surely once the filters are actually in contact with the viewers’ eyes, the difference between 3D movies and normal vision must begin to blur — if you’ll excuse the pun!

Projector review: Epson EH-TW 5500
A european bargain with record-breaking contrast...

The Epson EH-TW 5500 is a Full HD LCD projector that is widely available in europe, unfortunately we did not see any offers in the states.

It currently sells for about 4,000 GBP (UK) or 3.000 Euros (Germany) online.

Improved filter technology helps this projector further... [Read More]

By some parameters, I'd say we're there. By others, not so much.

Here we rate the technologies and their... [Read More]
