TV & Home Theatre

    At CES earlier this year, quantum dot technology was touted a big thing in TV technology for 2015. Although quantum dot TV technology has been around for a few years, it hasn’t really been produced in TVs yet. LG is about to release a couple of new 4K UHD models, one of which is a quantum dot TV. What was great is that I got to test them out side-by-side and see the difference this makes. Both models were excellent sets with extremely clear pictures as you would expect with 4K sets, but the UF9500 with quantum dot technology did have better colour.

Instead of turning your TV off, choose a new TV with Ambient mode and turn it into a work of classic art, digital photo frame, and more.

If you’re looking for 4K content for your new 4K TV, or considering upgrading your set but wondering what you can watch, the answer is: plenty. New content is being added constantly, and 2016 promises to be the year of 4K, with more content coming on line or being announced every month. Take a look at some of the streaming TV options in 4K that you can watch today, plus some major announcements about what’s coming soon. 

What makes a great TV, well … great? It may seem hard to quantify what contributes to a really good video-watching experience, since “the screen just looks cool!” is what many people say when asked to explain what’s so awesome about their new TV. But there are several new and “new-ish” features on today’s flat screen TVs that contribute to that feeling of awe you get standing in front of a brand new screen. Click to take a look.

  What components would you put in the home theatre system of your dreams? Most of us watch enough TV that having an awesome home entertainment system makes a lot of sense, but few of us go that extra step – including myself. I have thought about what would make my dream home theatre.  

There are a lot of things to consider when you want to buy a new TV. Here's a look at features, panel types, and different backlights on the latest TVs.

As often happens with JBL at CES, the company introduced a number of new products at the show, all of which you can expect to see in 2023.

 Wireless speakers are evolving at a rapid pace. While there is still a strong market for pure Bluetooth speakers, manufacturers are increasingly offering up Wi-Fi networked options. This is exactly where the Sony h.ear go speaker has shown up to play; let’s see if they brought any game.

Monster manufactures high quality accessories that are needed for any TV & Home Theatre system. You know, cables and surge protectors that you typically just take for granted or simply buy as an after thought. They are extremely well made, but with that typically comes a higher price. You get what you pay for, but with these relatively mundane accessories is it worth spending the extra dough? You just bought a fancy new HDTV or better yet a shiny stunning 4K UHD model, so do you need high-end cables to make sure you get the best picture?   I had the opportunity to try out a couple of excellent Monster HDMI cables and a Power Surge Protector so I can give you my first-hand perspective on why you may or may not consider them for your system.
