Energy Star 3.0 regulations set to impact TV designs

Aug 4th 2009 12:32PM on Engadget HD

Honestly, if you're going for the quality of plasma, you're more than likely not worried about a little sticker on the box. I personally don't care, but to get around "feelling bad about how much my toy wastes", why not install a small grid tied solar panel to offset the "waste". The different in overall energy usage would actually go down, considering that the peak energy period for the solar panel is in the middle of the day, while you're at work and the TV is off. The couple of hours of usage would easily be made up.

Ask Engadget HD: What's the best home theater subwoofer under $500?

Dec 3rd 2008 1:17PM on Engadget HD

Most frequencies below 80hz are non-directional. As stated above, and dedicated sub enclosure is going to be better than running your front two towers as your sub...there are signals sent over the LFE channel and not in the front two speakers signal, meaning you're missing part of the audio track (albeit probably not too much).

Embedded Automation's mPanel Review

It clearly states you have to buy other devices, but I guess that was pretty difficult to figure out...being that you wouldn't be able to control anything with a conventional wallplate.

Ask Engadget HD: What's the best plasma to pick up?

Oct 15th 2008 12:27PM on Engadget HD

Of course the KURO is the end-all-be-all, however you can get a fantastic image from other plasma's. Panasonic's lineup is almost always regarded as right behind Pioneer. Depending on what you specifically need in your setup, I'd go with the PZ850, PZ800 or the PZ85 line.

you seem to forget that you don't get anything close to "no resolution loss" when you want 3:2 pulldown, that brings it down to a measly 300 lines, one third what a plasma produces in motion

Panasonic's 58-inch VIERA TH-58PZ800U gets reviewed

Oct 7th 2008 12:37PM on Engadget HD

Panasonic's plasma's have been contenders for a couple years now, even the 700u series were solid performers for the money.

Furutech unveils $1,800 Powerflux power cable -- yes, seriously

I love how all of you instantly scoff at the idea. If you have an expensive dedicated theater, that was constructed with highest quality as the goal, this makes sense. You'd already have a regulated, and cleaned power source coming in, and you definitely wouldn't be using the same power cord you can get from walmart to plug your compontents in. Personally, I don't think I'd ever even think about buying this, but it has it's place.

World's first "no lamp replacement, liquid-cooled" 1080p projector lands at CEDIA

How exactly does a photo make anything look heavy? Unless it was sitting on a scale, with a handwritten note saying it was heavy, with today's date and time, and an ID card showing it was..... I kid, I kid...

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
