TV & Home Theatre

With the release of the new, 4th generation Apple TV, Apple now has two different media streamers in the series (three if you count the two different storage options on the new model). What is the difference between the Apple TV 4 and the 3rd generation model?

It used to be that if you want a fantastic TV picture you would either need to get an OLED TV or a 4K UHD LED TV. Now LG has brought out the first OLED set that also has 4K Ultra High Definition. The result is nothing short of fantastic!

With the recent release of the 4th generation Apple TV and the buzz surrounding it, it’s worth a deeper dive on the topic. What is Apple TV and how does it work?

If you’re new to the streaming TV game, there’s never been a better time to take the plunge. There are all kinds of streaming options for your TV, particularly now with the launch of Google’s new Chromecast TV device. The company has also added Chromecast Audio, which promises to make older, “dumber” speakers smart. Check out what each of these devices can do, how they work and what they can add to your home theatre.

For those looking for big picture, getting past 75” can get quite costly; you’re stepping up into panels that are larger, heavier, and eat up a lot of power. I should know, I recently upgraded to a VIZIO M70-C3 and I’m loving it. But my heart has always been with home theatre projector. In the right environment, a projector can give you a picture that is bright and beautiful, at screen sizes that are metaphorically bank-breaking when you try to spec them out with a panel. Best Buy sent over the BenQ HT3050 for me to review. I did; read on to see how it performed.  

Sony has unveiled its newest line of around and in-ear stereo headphones under the “h.ear” brand moniker, and we get to put the three different types to the test to see if these premium hi-res cans and earbuds can deliver the quality audio people expect from today’s high-end digital music.

Reviews are a great way to get an accurate picture of how well the electronics device you’re interested in buying will perform and whether you’ll be happy with it too. Feedback and opinion from other TV owners with experience with the exact TV you’re considering can give you a great idea about whether you’re about to make a great investment or a poor one.   We’ve done some research for you and picked out some of the best rated TVs by Best Buy customers, along with why they like their choice. See what’s on the top of the list in each TV category.

I for one am pretty pumped that the 4th generation Apple TV now has a release date. My favourite media streamer is now an app-running, game-playing, video and music streaming powerhouse with Siri baked in. The Apple TV 4 is now available on shelves and online at Best Buy.

Selecting audio for your home theatre can be intimidating. There are many different setups, and components galore; so how do you know what to choose? I’ve broken the process down into three different configurations from easy to elite to help you find just the right audio solution for your home.

Portable wireless speakers are taking over home entertainment. It’s just too easy to move them around and play your favourite music, podcasts, or web streaming services anywhere.  One of the big complaints about this kind of speaker has been audio quality, but thanks to audio giant Bose, there’s now an entire line of high end portable Wi-Fi speakers available to choose from.  What’s the difference in the different speakers in their line, and how well do they work?
