Today I’m checking out the latest high-brightness projector from Epson, the Home Cinema 3700. It offers 3000 lumens with lens shift and built-in speakers for under $1500.
I hadn’t heard of LeEco until it bought Vizio earlier this year. As it happens, it makes some displays of its own so today I’m checking out the Super4 X55. It’s a 55-inch Ultra HD TV with HDR and a super-low price.
Edward Snowden became the US’s most-wanted fugitive when he revealed the existence of Government surveillance programs targeting major Internet services and cellphone users.
Why would someone install a business projector in their home theater? Light output, pure and simple. The BenQ MU686 delivers 3500 lumens in a compact chassis for only $749. I'm checking it out today.
Three years ago, Epson introduced a new line of models called High Bright. They were designed to work in rooms with some ambient light or windows. The reasoning is that not everyone wants to devote a light-controlled space...
Few people in the US had heard of LeEco until it bought Vizio earlier this year for $2 billion. I thought it might re-brand their TVs but as it happens, they have their own line of displays that are being sold...
How much projector can $1000 buy? How about a 1080p-res DLP with 3D, 2200-lumen output, low input lag for gaming and color accuracy worthy of any dedicated home theater? Today, I’m checking out BenQ’s HT2150ST short-throw display.
Chris' passion for audio began when he took up playing the bassoon at age 12. During his third year at the New England Conservatory of Music, he won a position with the West Point Band where he served for 26 years as principal bassoonist. He retired from the Army in 2013 and is now writing full time and performing as a freelance musician in Central Florida.
As an avid movie lover, Chris was unable to turn away the 50-inch Samsung DLP TV that arrived at his door one day, thus launching him irrevocably into an obsession with home theater. Dissatisfied with the image quality of his new acquisition, Chris trained with the Imaging Science Foundation in 2006 and became a professional display calibrator. His ultimate theater desires were realized when he completed construction of a dedicated cinema/listening room in his home. Chris is extremely fortunate that his need for quality audio and video is shared and supported by his wife of over 25 years.
In his spare time he enjoys riding his recumbent trike at least 100 miles per week, trying out new restaurants, going to theme parks and spending as much time as possible watching movies and listening to music. Chris enjoys bringing his observations and discoveries about every kind of home theater product to as many curious and well-informed readers as possible. He is proud to be a part of the Team and hopes to help everyone enjoy their AV experiences to the fullest.
