In my estimation every new Blu-ray player that launches with BD Live capabilities (like Panasonics recent DMP-BD50 ) is a good thing for the format.

We’ve all heard of cable ready televisions and HD ready flat-panels but get ready to be assaulted err marketed with the term “3-D ready”. With Samsungs recent launch of their Series 4-450 3-D ready plasma television touted as the world’s first “3-D Ready Plasma HDTV”, you can bet this will be the first in a [...]

That’s right, Pioneer announced a projector at the High End show in Munich, Germany, one that would proudly wear the Kuro badge to boot but all isn’t as it would appear on the surface. The Kuro KRF-9000FD projector features LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) display technology, a 30,000:1 contrast ratio and will no doubt do [...]

Well, this one kind of caught me off guard, apparently Netflix CEO Reed Hastings in a conference call said that since Blu-ray discs are more expensive to purchase versus standard definition DVD’s, the company will start charging more for accounts that rent Blu-ray discs.
Netflix did at one time offer both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs [...]

I still get a kick out of responding “the internet” when asked what’s the next big thing in home theater?

This is one of those posts that got shoved off to the back burner and eventually fell off the stove altogether, I’m ashamed but it’s still not too late to finish dinner.
This one goes all the way back to CES (yeah I know January was only four months ago) and a little announcement that flew [...]

While it’s not available yet, next week (on tax day no less) the 15th of April to be exact; PS3 owners will finally be able to utilize the DTS-HD MA audio tracks on their Blu-ray discs:
“DTS-HD Master Audio is noted for its pure, high-quality bit-for-bit sound. DTS-HD Master Audio has the capacity to deliver audio [...]

This May will mark the month a new consumer display technology hits the market and along with it a slew of “frickin’ laser” jokes. Branded as LaserVue, (I can feel a laser joke bubbling up as we speak) the displays obviously have Mitsubishi’s executives very excited.
Max Wasinger, senior vice president of Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America [...]

I’m not sure about you but as far as I’m concerned the biggest home theater related story of the day, has to be tonight’s premiere of season four of Battlestar Galactica on Sci-Fi HD at 10pm Eastern. I have to admit I was late to the Battlestar Galactica party (just like Firefly…) but I couldn’t [...]
