HDTV Projector Shopping: It’s Not All About Specs, Sometimes It’s About Logos
April 17, 2007 From Grant Clauser
I was lucky enough to miss last week’s cold blast on the East Coast because I was comfortably reclining in a Mexican hotel with a bottomless margarita in my hand. In fact, I was at a home theater dealer retreat sponsored by Runco, which gathers its best dealers and a handful of magazine editors every year and brings them out to a Mexican beach to talk about issues in the industry and chase a few tequilas in between formal sessions.

February 2007 From Product Reviews
Every year, the editors of E-Gear magazine selects the top 40 products out of everything we’ve reviewed over the past 12 months. It’s a difficult job because so many products standout each year.

We’ve added one more award: Product of the Year. We hadn’t set out to do it;

Enter the world of the PC-controlled automated home. As technology becomes more convenient (another word for complicated), many of our daily tasks rely on a continuous power source, which if interrupted, important bits of data and time can be lost.

Vidikron Vision 60 Projector
November 2005 From E-Gear
A Close Competitor to Film Quality By Grant Clauser While most of the front projector momentum in the past couple of years has been fueled by Texas Instruments' DLP technology, it's not the only alternative to the nearly extinct CRT projector. LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) is used in an increasing number of high performing products. JVC, with its D-LA projectors and Sony with its SXRD projectors, as well as the much smaller Brillian, all produce high quality video displays based on LCoS.
