    QED audio and video cables.....

    I would like to know if anyone on the forum has used any cables from QED? What do you think? What I've seen is very affordable and they look sharp and well made. I need to replace my current speaker cables for my R/L/C channels and am considering this brand. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

    Gathering Info? or......

I look at how many posts the...

    Knight Rider 2008 series pilot give away at FYE

    Some hate and some like this show. Either way this is one of the best looking and sounding sd dvds I've recently got. I have friends that work at FYE and was able to get a copy. I love the original KR and if the new series keeps this level of quality then I'll be picking up the complete first...

    Toshiba's XDE 500, some thoughts....

    So I pulled the trigger and picked this player up. You never know what to expect when you here claims like "best upconverting ever" or "near Hi-Def PQ from your sd dvds." I have a lot of sd dvds. Over 2500 titles. So when a player comes along that says it can make them look, at least somewhat...

    Sarah Conner Chronicals, Good Enough on sd dvd?

    I love Blu-ray and the format is usually the undeniable way to go. As I've been reading the specs for both upcoming sd and Blu releases of this title I've been questioning it, to say the least. Both have the exact same special features. The exact same audio mix, 5.1 DD. The only difference is...

    Birds of Prey dvd...some thoughts.

    I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of the upcoming release and thought I'd share some of my thoughts. First, as many have reported this is, in fact, non-anamorphic widescreen. While watching this on a regular 4:3 tv will leave you with an incredible image, the image from my 16:9 plasma...

    Crimson Tide on Bluray, Some thoughts...

    This has to be one of the finest transfers of a film I've seen. While watching this all I could do was marvel at how incredible the picture was. Other than a (very) few specs of white debris this is flawless, in my opinion. The uncompressed sound is on par with the quality of the video, amazing...

    HDCP making HDMI unusable?

    So, a good friend of mine came to me today telling me his HD cable box is displaying an error screen. He tells me he called Comcast and they informed him that the "error" in question has to do with his RCA DLP display not being compatible with HDCP. Apparently his tv does not have this feature...
