TV & Home Theatre

    Roku recently announced their streaming stick, now available at Best Buy.  Google Chromecast has been in the US market for quite a few months.  But how do they compare? They look similar but which is the better device? Although I haven’t been able to test either one of them in my living room, I understand each of them well enough to give you a pretty good idea on how they differ.

Dolby Laboratories has been in the business of improving and perfecting the sound experience since 1965. They started with Dolby Noise Reduction, which got rid of the hiss on audiocassette tapes. In the early 90’s they introduced Dolby Digital, which gave rise to ever-improving surround sound, ultimately evolving to Dolby TrueHD, which further improved the purity of sound reproduction. Their latest sound technology is Dolby Atmos, which has taken the sound experience to yet a new level. Atmos is to sound what 4K is to TV resolution.

Receivers can enhance your home entertainment system to cinema levels, and the Sony STR-AN1000 is no exception. Enter for a chance to win!

  Google’s Chromecast media streaming device, which lets you display content from your Web browser or mobile device app on the TV, is finally here at Best Buy!

A number of big brands showed 8K televisions at CES 2019 in Las Vegas and we have the scoop on the new TV technology from Samsung, Sony and LG.

 One of the major complaints from early adopters of 4K technology is that getting original content in 4K has been difficult. The Philips 4K Blu-ray player now allows you to watch 4K movies like The Martian, Deadpool, Batman vs Superman, Star Trek and more. Plus, built-in streaming gives your even more content options from services like Netflix too.

The Sony BRAVIA A80J OLED TV is the best TV I've laid eyes on. It has advanced upscaling, outstanding colour, and gets more impressive the more you watch.

The new Google Chromecast Audio has received plenty of press since its anouncement, but you may be wondering exactly what is does, how it works, or why you’d even need one (click through for these answers). Perhaps if you’ve already decided the device is for you, you’re wondering how to get started quickly and easily. Fortunately the device is as easy to use as it is versatile.

Vizio’s P-Series TVs are now available at Best Buy, offering features like 4K upscaling, Internet-based services, and the Pure Cinema Engine, all packed into ultra-slim packages from 50″ up to 70″ in size.
