Samsung SP-A900B

Samsung, with the help of video guru Joe Kane, again delivers outstanding performance in the high-end front projection DLP category with the flagship SP-A900B. This 1080p resolution, one-chip DLP projector sports the latest Dark Chip 4 chip from Texas Instruments, but otherwise appears virtually the same as the SP-A800B that...

Samsung SP-A800B

Samsung's flagship one-chip DLP-based home theater projector, the SP-A800B, takes accuracy of signal reproduction to a new level. My previous reference projector, the Samsung SP-H710AE, was designed by Joe Kane, and that well-known video guru and author of Digital Video Essentials also designed the SP-A800B. While the 710E is spectacularly...

Sony Bravia KDL-32M4000

Sony has always been a go-to brand for people who don't mind paying more for HDTVs, or just about anything else for that matter, and the company's least-expensive 2008 32-inch HDTV, the KDL-32M4000, exemplifies the trend. This little set costs a couple of hundred dollars more than no-name LCDs, and...

Sony KDS-55A3000

Sony has a real winner with the new KDS-A3000 series, represented here by the 55-inch KDS-55A3000, the middle of three sizes. We liked Sony's LCoS-based SXRD technology when it was first introduced a couple of years ago, and the company has followed up by significantly improving performance. While not perfect,...

The Enterprise 2.0 Value Propositions Agenda

Time is Money: Where's the Beef? The now biannual US 'Enterprise 2.0' conference is a wrap, but disappointingly there is still little business understanding of what the term means or what the value propositions and benefits are. The general 2.0 suffix is well understood by technology...

Samsung Caliber (U.S. Cellular)

We've seen plenty of Samsung touch-screen handsets come our way, but not many of them make it to U.S. Cellular, a regional carrier based in Chicago. The only one so far has been the Samsung Delve, which made it to the carrier's lineup late last year. Now another one has...

Kodak 5250

The ESP 5250 is Kodak's latest upgrade to last year's ESP 5 all-in-one AIO, which should be obvious from the almost identical design. Aside from looks, the printer does make improvements to print quality and most notably, output speed, but the printer still isn't perfect--it's missing an auto-document feeder and...
