Manufacturers use superlatives too often. But if one single product deserves the name ‘Pearl‘, it would be this 1080p SXRD projector by Sony: the VPL-VW50.
Specs: full 1920×1080 resolution, 5000:1 contrast ratio, 200 watt lamp, 900 lumens, manual horizontal and vertical lens shift and 2 HDMI inputs.

In most of Europe, the Philips HTS6500 home cinema system is already out since June 2006. But recently the renowned people of Cnet wrote a favourable review. Time to have a closer look.
Bottom line: the unremarkable sound quality of the Philips HTS6500 is outweighed by its winning combination of slick aesthetics, impressive features, and affordable pricing.

We found out our digital home isn’t going to happen tomorrow. But that doesn’t keep us from dreaming. Presenting the Plasma Screen Interior Walls!
Watch different programs on each wall of the room. Or stretch out one program to cover multiple walls (Metal Gear Solid 3!), with a viewing angle of 140 degrees.
This and other nifty devices were made up for the TV-series Eureka. We know it’s fake, and yet. All you geniuses at Samsung, LG.Philips, Pioneer, Sony and Panasonic: c’mon, we know you can do it!

Magnificent devices often come with an impressive price tag. We’d all like a home cinema system – but giving up this year’s holiday to our favourite Costa? No way.
So we took 200 euro out of our wallet and happily strolled down the internet, doing it the old-fashioned way. By screening retailers only and ignoring online shops.
We’ve already got a TV set, so our goal was simple: a set of speakers and a DVD player. Nothing fancy, as long as it was produced by a leading brand. Our road led to Belgium, since in July it’s end-of-season sales. And did we find anything? We sure did.
Presenting: the Philips HTS3100 for 179,99 euro at Eldi.
Finding a bargain, is good. Finding out it’s a good buy, is even better. But so far we have found very few reviews available. Bummer. Philips home cinema kits however get good reviews in general.
If by any chance you find a cheaper solution (at a retailer in Belgium, that is –we must play it fair) please let us know. For our readers in Belgium, it would mean some extra margheritas at the beach pool.
