You paid how much?!?

Every new generation of HDTVs offer evolutionary image quality improvements at increasingly attractive prices, and too many retailers continue to pad profits by offering overpriced A/V (audio/video) cables to unsuspecting consumers. I wrote this article to remind my readers to always use the A/V connections that provide the highest quality experience, and never pay more than is absolutely necessary.

Component video cables are the best choice for analog video connections with consumer-grade home theater gear.DVI is compatible with HDMI (video), and always use an HDMI connection if the source and display offer this port. Picture shows DVI-HDMI cable.

Why Overscan is Evil

I posted an article that highlights one of my biggest HDTV pet peeves: video overscan. I titled the article “A Good HDTV Shows You Everything!” and it includes some real-world examples (pictures) that should give the reader an a good idea of what to look for in a new HDTV in order to avoid this detail destroying condition.

Whew! I am glad the install went well, and I’ll be polishing things up over the next few hours/days.

Stay tuned!
