    HTF REVIEW: The Life Aquatic... Fan Recommended

    I saw this in the theater, and while I don't remember thinking specifically about it being 'soft' I did realize about halfway through that the movie was 'processed' in some way to make it resemble the old TV shows that it was mocking. FWIW, I really liked this movie. The two words that came...

    PSP: What games you have??

    I have: Lumines - Love it, simply spectacular puzzle game. Tiger Woods - Great game, long load times, tough to control but I got used to it. Ridge Racer - Great looking, but a little boring after a while, not a lot of variety. Wipeout - Also great looking, tougher than RR, fun game...

    Anyone Use "Delicious Library" to catalog DVDs?

    I checked out Delicious Library and overall I'm happy with how it works, it's dead simple to use, and gorgeous to look at. I have an iSight camera, so importing items was as simple as clicking on the camera button and holding barcodes in front of the camera. It works surprisingly well even if...

    good projectors upto $5000

    From the looks of that review at ProjectorCentral, the HT1100 will give you both 4:3 and 16:9 due to the hinged anamorphic lens it comes with. If I was shopping for a new FP, the HT1100 would be at the top of my list.

    headaches from DLP?

    In my case, seeing refresh rate flicker on a CRT has nothing to do with DLP rainbows. I've owned an NEC LT260 FP for 1.5 years and rarely ever see rainbows (only if I try to), nor has anyone of more than a dozen friends who have visited to watch movies or HDTV. However, I can instantly tell...

    Which resolution should I select?

    I leave mine on 720p, it's closer to the actual resolution of my projector, and it looks outstanding. I'm not a fan of interlacing, even in HD.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Winged Migration: Special Edition

    My second viewing of this was in an IMAX theater and it was a tad disappointing (the film itself is amazing in any format), the biggest problem is that they didn't stabilize the frame jitter, so the entire film was subtly vibrating. My first viewing was in a small independent theater, and...

    sound help for gc/xbox/ps2

    The Logitech Z680 would probably be a good fit for you. I also have a small room and it's ideal since the processor is inside the subwoofer, it's truly plug-and-play. You might be able to find it for $250 or so.

    The Best Image You Have Ever Seen?

    Do commercial theaters count? The image quality at the digital showing of Finding Nemo was far and away the best I've seen...not sure the brand of projector. Otherwise, I saw a bit of "O Brother Where art Thou" (in a HT store) on a JVC DILA and it was sweet.

    ***Official Soul Caliber II Discussion Thread***

    shot some pics of the screen in SCII (Xbox), in 480p and 720p (scaled up) to compare. On the surface, this game looks like it's 480p native, since the 720p mode just adds a huge black border around the whole image (it's a 4:3 projector), effectively scaling it down. Essentially, it looks like...

    What, no F-Zero Imperssions thread yet???

    Morgan, you were right. Months ago I fretted after reading a preview of this game that said the game was so hard they had to try 20-30 times to pass a level...to which you replied that there must be something good about it if you're willing to try 20-30 times... Well, this is one of those...

    ***Official Soul Caliber II Discussion Thread***

    I'm loving this game, and I hardly ever play fighting games. I payed so much yesterday I developed a new blister on the inside of my right middle finger! I was confused about the 720p setting, given that it's inset. But I found that if I change my projector to "crop" (in the aspect ratio...

    Reference Quality Games?

    MotoGP 2 is a graphical feast, 5.1 surround is integral to the game. About the only weak spot is the engine sounds and collision sounds. THPS4 looks amazing on my projector @ 720p, definitely reference graphics.
