1080p projector roundup
HDTV Magazine talks 1080p, covering such issues as frame rate and de-interlacing. While we've discussed de-interlacing and upconversion before, this article breaks down the difference some devices may have in adjusting the framerates of 1080p content, while Sony's upcoming Blu-ray player will output 1080p at 60fps only, Philips is opting to push the native 24fps and so far Toshiba has forgone 1080p altogether.

OTA HD Demystified: Redux
Looks like HDBeat readers weren't the only one that found my OTA HD Demystified howto useful. The great people over at HDTV Magazine decided it met their approval and re-published it for all of their readers to enjoy. Personally I am thrilled they wanted to help me spread the word on free HDTV and help as many people as possible take advantage of the DTV transition.Thanks Shane and Dale!
