Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:02:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/ah/reviews/cables/impact-acoustics-3x5-component-switch You may not need the 3x5 Component Video Matrix Selector Switch (or you may just have a hard time saying it), but there are some that do. The real question is, "Does it work?" The answer is a firm yes. Not only does it perform as advertised, but the interface makes it so easy a? um? well anyone can use it. On top of that, the configuration options are completely open considering that each input can be assigned to each output with a discrete code. So if you have more displays than sources or are thinking of opening up a sports bar, take a close look at the 3x5 Component Video Matrix Selector Switch.

You might want to replace the peripherals and the video card down the road, but this system is an excellent option for a nonconfigurable, off the shelf desktop.

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 07:24:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/ah/reviews/processors/denon-avp-a1hdci The Denon AVP-A1HDCI represents bleeding edge technology that only a select few manufacturers can compete with regardless of price. This processor truly is a master of all domains. It?s not cheap to own this combo set from Denon, but such is the case with statement pieces and first implementers of new technologies. From its Realta video processing engine, to its sophisticated Audyssey room correction, top notch construction and component usage, you?re getting Mercedes level performance and refinement at Acura prices. Your high end audio snob friends may snicker at this system, especially since they likely spent 2-3 times more for hollow boxes, but I suggest humbling yourself by saying nothing. You don?t want everyone driving the same car you?re driving, do you?

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:32:07 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/dt/reviews/5210 This tiny pocket camcorder is easy to use, and stores plenty of pictures. We just wish the videos looked good.

Grown-ups, however, deserve a more substantive gadget. Thu, 12 Jun 2008 05:07:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/pcw/reviews/146166 The $100 Vado pocket camcorder lets you shoot and upload YouTube clips with ease. Just don't expect great video quality.

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:29:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/ah/reviews/projectors/panasonic-pt-f200u-lcd We reviewed the PT-F100U projector last year and were very impressed by the level of quality available for general viewing. When selecting a projector it's important to know your requirements and set performance goals. In the case of the PT-F200U, the projector is targeting users with a need for high lumen output and analogue video sources. This means that you will not get as much performance in low light situations, nor can you expect to connect the latest HDMI devices. With that said, this projector is going to be a massive "win" for business presentations or even houses of worship.

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 15:15:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/pcw/reviews/146555 The WMS 200 Video wirelessly delivers presentations and video clips, but its documentation and its Windows Vista support are lacking. Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:00:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/lm/reviews/14745 This webcam captures unprecedented 12-MP photos and 3-MP video. But how?s the image quality? Fri, 30 May 2008 17:07:41 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/dt/reviews/5174 Panasonic sure misses a lot with the HS9 camcorder which has poor video and image quality.
