    Also, the Asus link you provided clearly shows that you've reversed the specs for the two models. And, the 24-watt model OF COURSE requires a separate power supply. Sheesh...

    No DLP for me - if I need an image that large I think I'll go ahead and spring for a projector.

    @Costner: from what I hear, you get better brightness and picture on a DLP. The advantage of the projector (I suppose) is that you can make it even bigger than that, but every time you increase the size you decrease the brightness.

    "In order to display 3D images, Mitsubishi LaserVue™ & Home Theater DLP TVs require source devices to support checkerboard display formats for display of 3D gaming or 3D cinema content."


    I don't get it. What does "3D ready" mean? Why can't normal TVs broadcast the images that you need 3D glasses to watch?

    @Hello Mister Walrus: I have wondered that myself. It could be that the subtle variations necessary for "modern" 3D requires something in the electronics to be able to properly display it. That said, I do not claim to understand why a special screen is necessary for something like this.

    For simplicity, does anyone have a recommendation on a soundbar without a sub? I know the quality won't be amazing, but anything is better than the stock Vizio speakers.

    @ripfire: While I'm pretty sure that moo083 was trying to be a dick about the brand of my TV, he is partially right. I probably won't be spending more on the speakers than the TV itself.


    I'm definitely looking for something around the price range of the one in the article. This one might actually be my best choice. Or maybe just a good pair of bookshelfs.

    @2-7offsuit is ioos: I was looking for something similar myself, but it's hard to find an active soundbar without the subs without having to go DIY. What I did come across is a 3-channel speaker bar to complement my existing 5.1 receiver. The same site also has instructions for DIY speaker bar.

    Avoid cords? PLURAL?! Its just ONE WIRE! Why in fuck hell would you need a wireless connection FOR A SOUNDBAR? I'd rather pay 50 dollars less and get this:

    @daftrok: I want my soundbar on the fireplace mantle with my TV and the subwoofer under my end table. Wireless is perfect. But you and your futon with milk crate tv stand shoud feel free to visually blot out that extra cable.

    It looks really flimsy. Worse- the black plastic look is old, tired, and very cheap looking. Would be nice if they could offer some optional shells.

    I'd carry this kind of stuff around with me when I was a kid and got dubbed "Gadget Boy" by my older brothers. That pretty much stuck until I took taekwando (sp) and then got crowned "Karate Boy". What's my point? Older brothers suck!
