Popcorn Hour A-200 Networked Media Tank Offers Middle Ground Between A-110 and C-200

Very clever of Popcorn Hour to delay the announcement of their A-200 Networked Media Tank until after CES. They must’ve known we’d be scraping the dirge off the bottom of the gadget barrel. Following their cheap-as-chips Popbox streamer which was shown off last week, the A-200 is for the more serious viewers. It streams from…

Panasonic’s 3D DMP-BDT350 Blu-ray Player

Panasonic’s dropped four Blu-ray players on CES goers today, the DMP-BD45, DMP-BD65 and DMP-BD85. But the big news is the DMP-BDT350, which is their first 3D player.

ProVision’s AXAR Wireless HD Streaming Technology In TVs This Year

The majors may’ve all banded together last year to create a wireless HD standard, but ProVision Communications has stepped out with its own with the AXAR1500 system which streams to AXAR and Wi-Fi TVs, PCs and phones. https://gizmodo.com/sony-sharp-hitachi-samsung-and-motorola-agree-on-ami-5027978 It differs to normal wireless HD devices in that the AXAR system picks up the content from…

Aiptek’s Plastic Portable DVD Projector Lets Your Kids Watch Hannah Montana In Style

Who knew Fisher Price would ever move into the home cinema industry? Ok, so it’s not a product from the kiddywink toys manufacturer, with this portable Aiptek DVD projector available now at Firebox.

Sony’s Bravia Theater RHT-G500 3.1-Channel Hi-Fi is a TV Stand Too

Stand your precious new HDTV on a simple, old-fashioned plank of wood? No, that’s way too low-tech… or at least you might think so after seeing Sony’s RHT-G500. It’s an “invisible home cinema” TV stand. “A TV stand with a product code?” you might ask. Yes. And an integrated 3.1-channel audio system with S-Force PRO…

White House Home Theater Reveals Laura Bush’s Bordello Tastes

This is what the Prez and his people watch their Chuck Norris movies in: the White House home theater. It’s, er, very red, isn’t it? The refurb was overseen by Laura Bush in 2004, who was, apparently, inspired by turn-of-the-last century movie palaces. Another shot, plus the magnolia hell that was its previous incarnation, below.…

Home Theater Designed to Look Like Radio City, But Smaller

A house in Montauk has had a home theater installed by architect James Biber. With leather floors and co-ordinating beanbags, Biber took his inspiration from New York’s Radio City, with a little bit of 2001: A Space Odyssey thrown in for good measure. Every surface in the room, which seats up to 10 people, has…

Panasonic PT-AX200E Home Cinema Projector Features “Game Mode”

Panasonic’s new PT-AX200E Home Cinema Projector is putting (wealthy) gamers in the forefront thanks to a “Game Mode” that promises a “life sized” experience. In Game Mode, signal processing is optimized to HD game content, which supposedly reduces response time from 15ms to 5ms. Panasonic also claims that the mode enhances gradation in saturated areas…

Ears-On with JBL’s $300,000 Home Cinema Set-Up with 9.6 Surround Sound (Verdict: OMFGIWANTONE)

We had the pleasure of listening to the new JBL’s Project Everest Everest DD66000 speakers plus a few other important-sounding things, but, frankly, they had us at “$40,000 per speaker.” Where were we? In JBL’s rather impressive home cinema that cost $300,000 to build —including 6TB of storage for DVDs, their lowest end setup. And…
