Ask Engadget HD: Can a projector really serve as my main HDTV? {Engadget HD}
Feb 4th 2009 12:37PM I have several plasmas, LCD's and a projection system. I often times choose the projection system over the other sets during the day time. Mine is located in a room with many windows. I think the key here is that you need to purchase a good screen like the Stewart G3. You also need to eliminate direct light hitting the screen from the windows and lastly engineer your lighting so that no lighting comes between the projector and the screen. For example space can lights to the perimeter of the room and use spot bulbs and black inserts to get a very focused beam of light. If you do these things along with purchasing a moderately bright projector you should be in good shape. If you watch a lot of TV, plan to get around two comfortable years out of the bulb between replacements.

FCC wants to hear your voice on the MPAA's latest DRM proposal {Engadget HD}
Jun 11th 2008 10:07PM My Letter to the FCC
I don't feel it would be right to enable SOC. Although, I do
believe in the adherence to local and national law, I do not believe the MPAA stands for what is morally right and just. To continue the ban on SOC draws a line in the sand that should not be crossed. To enable this feature on hardware would essentially be equivelent to the creation of a grey area and would in my opinion eventually lead to other things. An all out ban on SOC is the only solution to prevent further measures which could have even further reaching effects on the consumer's ability to use and enjoy rightfully purchased media and electronic equipment.

Sep 28th 2007 11:14AM What a dissapointment......
Out of all of the players to do this first, it has to be the one with a non-detachable powercord that is about a quarter of the diameter of good speaker wires. Too many companys do not go the extra step to ensure their product will be adopted into higher end systems.
