Slingbox PRO-HD Review
It’s a given that a mobile device is carrying around video content — smartphones and tablets aren’t “glorified” MP3 players, after all. But there seems to be a disconnect between the content you can view in your home R...

OLIVE 03HD Music Server Review
Music server’s have been a part of a home theater system for more years than some might want to count, but they’re popularity was always tempered by the fact that they needed a custom installation (i.e., having to pay someone t...

Pyle PLTTB8UI Classic Vinyl Turntable Review
Vinyl records are making a comeback — especially among the “Indie” small record companies. The records are from both the lesser known as well the well known artists. Certainly vinyl isn’t as big as it once was, but playi...

playGO USB Review
It’s not often that I get a product that is finished but not finished delivered to me. Explaining what that means in general, and for the playGo USB in specific, will take a few moments so bear with me. The playGO USB is a fini...

D-Link DMS-310 MovieNite Streaming Media Player Review
D-Link is pretty well known for their routers — media players, not so much. But I remember hearing a while back that they’d been selling the Boxee media player, but got rid of it in favor of… Their new DSM-310 Movie...

Yamaha YHT-S401 Home Theater Package Review
I imagine most people know what a sound bar is because of the name. But what isn’t so well-known is that there’s varied technologies being used in those now on the market — all the same, they aren’t! So I have high hope...

Sanus Furniture Mount System FMS01-B1 Review
One of the benefits of the advent of flat-panel TVs is that you can attach them to walls. This not only creates that much-vaunted “video window” that SciFi has touted for years — along with adding a striking d...

Dynamic Mounting Down and Out Flatscreen TV Mount Review
As much as flatscreen TVs have become ubiquitous, so has the mount. The result? Mounts that offer limited functionality and at best articulate the position of the screen from left to right or at a very slight angle up and dow...

Behringer U-Phono UFO202 Review
The “home theater” has evolved from “just” a TV — to including a VCR, followed by a DVD player and now Blu-ray player. But for all the disc-happy folks out there getting their content on optical discs, there’s still plent...

Nyrius High Definition Digital Wireless Audio/Video Sender Review
USB video emitters are all the fad these days, but as I’ve said in the past that’s really all they are, a fad. And a bad one at that. Sending video, especially HD video, over a USB-connection is just asking for a wo...

ViewSonic VT2430 24-inch 1080p LCD TV Review
Say the name “Viewsonic” to most people, and they’ll likely respond with some variation of “they make monitors.” That the company also makes HDTVs, not so much. But the technologies that make for a quality LCD monitor can certa...
