    AnandTech 20th Anniversary Giveaway!

    Super excited for giveaways! Normally I just come here for the awesome reviews. I've built 15 PCs using Anandtech's advice.

    monoprice credit card breach?

    I ordered an HDMI cable on 3/1. On 3/8, my card was used to purchase 2 MS Technet Plus subscriptions to the tune of over $500. Visa FP called me and I had to shut it down (my main check-card no less). I was able to get the charges reversed by MS - took 2 weeks though. I contacted...

    Looking for power protection for my devices

    If you think that, then I guess it's too bad they didn't have a RCOMP101 class for you. Most surge protector/UPS protection claims are BS. Upgrade your whole house grounding if you want to spend big bucks. Another thing that I highly recommend is to verify that your home/apt insurance...

    Calibrating an HDTV...Why do I need to hire a professional?

    Customizing your settings will often improve things, but it does nothing to match colors and grayscale to the ISF standard. Anyone who says they have a "perfect" picture without having a professional come calibrate it is either uninformed or just plain wrong.

    DLP--really that bad or just not that good

    Very few people realize that you don't watch TV from the side. I suspect they are not more popular because most viewers are not serious about their media, and do not work on creating a media space - rather they retrofit another living area for watching TV and movies - and so they end up...

    Convince me not to buy a used DLP

    At 50", you're ok with 720 and so the plasma option is pretty tempting IMO. Much more than that - a deal on a DLP is definitely the way to go. SIZE MATTERS. And from an IQ standpoint - stating that a cheap LCD or plasma has better IQ than DLP is utterly ridiculous. Anybody who says...

    re-doing home theatre--plasma advice

    What about DLP? Mitsu still makes great ones, and you can get last year's set for 73" on that budget (with a couple hundred to spare). Bulb life issues have long been resolved - my Toshiba is well over 8,000 and still looks great - and they do fairly well in lit rooms - better than a...

    Western Digital My DVR extender. Its awesome.

    I've had a Seagate 750GB 7200.10 on my DirecTV HR20 for almost 3 years now. I bought my own enclosure for about $25 and just stuffed the drive in. Rules. I recommended a similar setup to a friend at work - she has Charter though, so she has a Moxi and uses USB. We got her the same...

    Considering a Best Buy Plasma TV calibration

    Just wanted to say that my TV still looks great. My friends all run in torch mode, and if you don't have all the lights on in the room, it really burns on the retinas. The whites are so far overblown - it's really quite stunning. Also, my DLP lamp is pushing 10k hrs. I am not sure how...

    Vocals a tad bit too low through center channel with DD/DTS

    If by "LOUD" you mean calibrated to 85dB (to allow peaks of 105dB) - then yes.

    Speaker and Subwoofer Purchase

    Dr. Geddes' use of multiple, small "inexpensive" speakers - I can assure you - is miles above the bottom-end components being discussed in this thread. Also, his EQ expertise is far above what most consumers have available to them. On a budget, I would recommend the energy option. I...

    Coax signal determination

    One of these might do the job too. It has two pieces - one emits a signal over the cable line, and the other can detect it and beep at you when the signal is coming through. Connect the signal generator to your man cave, and then go plug in each line at your box until you find the other end...

    HDMI cables

    The minimum requirement for games has been 720p. It was the ONLY console to REQUIRE that all games be in high def (except for a few exceptions) - so it's gonna be hard for the PS3 fanboys to win that fight. In order to play a 1080p game in 1080p, you need both the HDMI cord and a TV capable...

    Why can't they make a decent BluRay dvd player?

    When the Oppo hits the $300 mark, I'm in.
