I have one of the last 1080P LED TVs made from Samsung purchased a few years back. I\ll eventually upgrade to a 4K OLED display when this current TV dies. My question is: I'm interested in buying new titles in 4K packaging since they also include the Blu-ray. What's going to occur with the HDR...

This is a major dilemma for me. I want to get a big screen CTR that has HDCP DVI for anticipation of HD-DVD's, but I only get the chance to watch DVD's on the weekends due to my work schedule. The other days of the week are spent watching normal cable TV (no HD programing at all). After doing...

Feel free to refer me to a previous thread dealing with this or a similar question. The main question/information sought is how do the different "trademarked"/ "exclusive" technologies from the big manufacturers such as Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Sony, Pioneer, ect., compare to one another as far as...

My question is that when a DVD is re-released in a Special Edition/Director's Cut format, unless it specifically states on the cover that the movie contains a new soundtrack (i.e. DD EX or DTS ES) and/or a new picture (i.e. widescreen anamorphic), would the sound and picture masters used for the...

I have a Pioneer DVD player that's a few years old that has a 96KHz/24 bit sound and 10 bit DAC video. I've seen some players advertised with 12 bit/108 MHz DAC. Is 12 bit , or 16, better then 10 bit and what is that 108 Hz all about? I understand the better picture quality with progressive scan...

I'm wondering if there are sound scientific principles behind various company's speaker technology/materials and whether a speaker that doesn't have this patented technology (i.e. Kevlar for the cone material in B&W speakers) will sound inferior to one that does, all other things being equal...

I'm upgrading my front Bose speakers (L, C, R) and my back left and right Bose 301 speakers (I have a 7.1 setup w/ Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 Surround as my rear L and R). Does a 3-way speaker create a better (i.e smoother) sound then a 2-way? I'm kicking around getting Ascend CBM-170 as mains...

I've never built a speaker before so I have no prior knowledge on the specific details of building a sub. I am looking to upgrade my current 23W 6 inch Sony sub to one that will let you FEEL an explosion or a T-rex running by, not just hear it. However, my budget is rather limited. Thus, I...

I currently have a Sony 23W powered subwoofer (6 5/16 inch speaker, cone type) along with a Bose passive woofer (connected to the accompanying Bose satellite front and center speakers). The Sony has a frequency range of 28Hz-200Hz and a high frequency cut-off frequency of 50Hz-200Hz. I am not...

I'm concerned about the ever changing formats that are on the horizon for DVD movies (i.e the Blue laser DVD format being worked on now) and the impact the new players will have for watching current DVD's. Specifically, I am hesitant to pay $80 for a boxed season set of Star Trek or Buffy only...
