The flat panel market, LCDs in particular, has experienced tremendous growth over the past several months, and the products themselves, particularly from the major manufacturers, have improved in quality as well. Many manufacturers have focused their picture efforts on developing 120Hz technologies to eliminate some of the motion blur issues associated with LCD TVs, while others have worked to slim down the overall footprint of the products for a more aesthetic appeal. Dolby Laboratories, known primarily for its industry-changing audio technologies, has now taken a step into the video world with its latest product, Dolby High Dynamic Range Technologies. What is Dolby HDR?

Ten Tips for Buying Your HDTV
September 2002 From E-Gear
By Grant Clauser 1. Why HDTV? You say your eight-year-old analog TV has treated you well for eight years. You say you're no video snob or home theater expert, so why should you care about HDTV? There are plenty of good reasons, but the most significant is that, sooner than later, you won't have a choice. While it's likely that the scheduled 2006 target for all TV stations to go completely digital will be delayed a year or two, it's still going to happen. Every month, more stations are going digital, as are more cable companies. If you wait until 2006 or later,

Denon DVD-3800 DVD-Video/Audio Player
September 2002 From Product Reviews
Everything but the kitchen sink (and SACD) by Mark Fleischmann If the United Nations ever needs a DVD player to show Harry Potter movies to the General Assembly, I'd recommend the Denon DVD-3800—its menus can be read in 125 different languages. Okay, its obvious appeal to Catalan, Moldavian and Samoan speakers may not be what interests you, but there are plenty of attractions here for both videophiles and audiophiles. One of those features is the Silicon Image/DVDO SiI504 video-processing chip. This is the same decoding engine found in Denon's top-of-the-line DVD-9000, which sells for $3,500, versus the 3800's relatively accessible price tag of $1,199
