Carada Masquerade Masking System Review

Carada unveiled, for the first time, its new Masquerade automated masking system at the Audioholics 2007 State of the CE Union Event. To say that this is an industry-changing product (at least in terms of price to market) would be an understatement. Sold for the price of some competitors' fixed wall screen systems (just $2499 for a 110" diagonal) the Masquerade offers full horizontal masking up to 2.70:1, meaning that all of your widescreen movies can now be watched without those often annoying black bars.

Axiom Audio Epic Midi 400 Speakers Review

Axiom Audio's Epic Midi system is a great "home theater-in-a-box killer" that starts at just $1338 and is built around the small M2 (v2) speakers. To get the most out of it, however, you'd want to opt for the much more sophisticated and powerful EP400 subwoofer - a $600+ premium that lands the system among stiff competition in the ~$2000 5.1 home theater speaker market. While expensive, the EP400 was the most impressive part of this system and stole the show as it certainly outperformed the expectations we had for what an 8-inch subwoofer could do.

Pro Review: Panasonic Viera TC-37LZ800 LCD TV Review
by Clint DeBoer — last modified February 16, 2009 05:35
Panasonic's use of IPS (In-Plane Switching) in their LCD panels has been a favorite choice of ours for the simple reason that light output remains almost constant from all viewing angles. When you're not the only one watching TV in a room, this can be a big deal. The TC-37LZ800 uses a newer generation of this technology called IPS-Alpha which improves upon earlier designs. Panasonic is the #3 plasma display manufacturer in the world (beat out of the #1 spot just this year), but the company seems to have a very good understanding of what makes a great LCD television.

First Look: Toshiba TV/DVD LCD Combo Displays
by Tom Andry — last modified January 08, 2009 14:51
At today's press conference, Toshiba announced its 2009 series of LCD televisions with integrated DVD players. The new models are scheduled to ship during the 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2009. The slightly translucent bezel design (they dub this "Deep Lagoon") adds an appearance of depth and the speakers are hidden to allow the TV to have a clean edge for better aesthetics (which WE dub "Formover Function"). The 15, 19 and 22-inch sizes are available in both high-gloss black or high-gloss white, offering consumers the ability to better match their decor.

First Look: Samsung LED HDTVs
by Tom Andry — last modified January 08, 2009 15:05
Samsung has decided to take a huge leap forward with their LCDs with their launch of their new line of LED backlit panels. Generally ranging from 40" to 55", they all feature extreme contrast ratios, ultra slim designs (even with tuners included) and tons of extras. The top of the line 8000 series features 240Hz processing, chrome stylings, built in Ethernet connection and wireless-ready capabilities, and response times matching CRT displays (or so they claim).

First Look: LG LHX Ultra-Thin Wireless LED LCD TV
by Tom Andry — last modified January 07, 2009 07:33
LG had an ultra-thin display on hand at CES the LHX. At only 24mm thick, the set sports white LED backlighting that increases the LED block resolution from 120 to 240. While we've seen thin sets and LED backlighting before, what we haven't seen is the set-top box that comes with it. Labeled the LG Wireless Intelligent AV, it comes standard with the new display. It connects wirelessly to the display through a proprietary LG wireless protocol. It also should make setup a bit easier as you'll only have to run power to the display and not additional video cables.

Pro Review: Samsung PN50A760 50" Plasma Review
by Tom Andry — last modified December 10, 2008 05:26
The Samsung PN50A760 has basically the same feature set as its LCD counterpart (with a few plasma/LCD specific exceptions) and changes only a few styling cues from the 750 generation. As you'd expect, the differences between the two panels (even though they are different technology) are pretty minor. While the Samsung plasma didn't quite do as well as the LCD, it was close enough for me to call it a wash. I feel about the PN50A760 the same as I did about the LN52A750 - I want one. If that isn't a crowning endorsement, I don't know what is.

We took a look at the Mitsubishi LT-46148 46-inch LCD back in August and felt that it was a good TV with some potential for improvement. Mitsubishi jumped back at us with the new LT-46149 and asked us to review it. While the features, video section and menus are nearly identical, the 149 series offers a brand new sound projector to deliver Dolby Digital 5.1 surround from just a bottom-mounted sound bar. We dialed in this television and it actually did a pretty bang-up job of sending surround sound to our ears - all from a single speaker.
