Poll: Will you buy a PS3 Slim to use as a Blu-ray player? {Engadget HD}
Aug 30th 2009 4:15AM Nup. Haven't bought any new Sony crap since their rootkit fiasco. Most of their stuff is painfully crippled in some way.
1080p Android demo'd, set-top boxes prepare for a new master {Engadget HD}
Aug 28th 2009 7:08PM Oh, come on. The word is "demoed". Or demonstrated. You don't just panic and toss in an apostrophe because a word ends in a vowel.
Poll: Which HDTV feature are you least concerned about? {Engadget HD}
Aug 23rd 2009 6:43PM There should be no features in a screen unrelated to displaying the picture. Screens last *so much* longer than all the equipment that you'll likely be plugging into them that you don't want to waste money on integrated features that will be useless before the screen is even a tenth of the way through its life.
Steven Soderbergh calls out the aspect ratio villains: HBO, AMC - We're talking about you {Engadget HD}
Aug 7th 2009 11:50PM Someone needs to release a 1080p projector with a secondary anamorphic lens to stretch the picture horizontally that's paired with vertical digital stretch mode. Press a button and the lens is switched in and the vertical zoom is turned on and you're ready to watch The Fifth Element or some other 2.35:1 (or wider) movie.
Michael Bay plans The Dark Knight-style IMAX sequences for Transformers 2 Blu-ray {Engadget HD}
Jul 24th 2009 7:35PM I don't care what the transfer looks like, I'm only buying it if they release a Transformers 1 & 2 Blu-ray box set that physically transforms into a huge robot.
UK film critic doesn't understand using HDTV to watch old movies, why kids are on his lawn {Engadget HD}

Lecturing some layman on HDTV is overkill.
Explaining to an ignorant "expert" with a pulpit that home video formats are still trying to catch up to 35mm is an occasionally necessary public service.
LG introduces stylish, LED-backlit 22-inch W2286L LCD HDTV {Engadget HD}
Jul 1st 2009 8:39PM 1680x1050? Really? While 1080p is overkill at 22", do you really want the crappy scaling that comes with missing out just 30 lines?

I bought benQ's 24" full 1920x1080 offering as my cheap entrance to the world of HD and I have not been disappointed.
ASUS unleashes USB 2.0 Blu-ray drive -- government denies knowledge {Engadget HD}
Jun 29th 2009 7:12PM It looks cool enough, but I bet the price makes you run away screaming.
Poll: So how do YOU think Blu-ray is doing? {Engadget HD}
Jun 27th 2009 6:24PM I recently bought a Blu-ray player AND a 1080p monitor for less than I paid for either my first VCR or my old 68cm CRT TV. I have four of the eight movies I care about owning on Blu-ray and the other four have been advertised as coming soon. I can rent Blu-ray discs from a video rental place across the road for the same price as DVDs. Several of my friends have a small, but growing, Blu-ray collection.
As far as I'm concerned, it's arrived.
JVC GD-463D10 3D monitor pops up in the UK, brings silly glasses for all {Engadget HD}
Jun 24th 2009 9:12PM What's the solution for those of us that already need glasses just to see the screen?
