Surround sound systems - the wave of the future, and present.It is my belief that we are quickly becoming a surround sound systems culture. No more of that stereo for us...uhn-uhn. If it's not a surround sound system it's junk. Maybe it's living in Hollywood that has given rise to this feeling. The theaters out here pride themselves on the fact that they have speakers in every wall. Don't get me wrong, this is a great thing. As far as I'm concerned, Surround sound systems should be placed in every home across America. I just wish when it came to the movie theaters they'd put just as much emphasis on the quality of films they show as they do on the quality of their surround sound system. But when I think about it. We've always been a surround sound culture. Surround sound is nothing new. In fact, it's been around since the dawn of time. Adam and Eve experienced it in the Garden of Eden. What I'm talking about here is real life. In your day to day existence, you'll notice that sounds come at us from all directions. There is not one source from which all sounds emanate from. So Mother Nature was the first pioneer into surround sound. We're all just trying to play catch up with our 7.1 systems. And we're not to bad at it. In fact when it comes to movies we're almost too good. We've not only make sounds realistic, but hyper realistic. A gun shot in a movie is no longer a single recording of a gun shot, it's like at least three different sounds mixed together. Now when we hear real gun fire it sounds like a fire cracker. Sounds like Mother Nature's got some catching up to do.

3-D Ready or Not, Here They Come
We’ve all heard of cable ready televisions and HD ready flat-panels but get ready to be assaulted err marketed with the term “3-D ready”. With Samsungs recent launch of their Series 4-450 3-D ready plasma television touted as the world’s first “3-D Ready Plasma HDTV”, you can bet this will be the first in a [...] Battlestar Galactica Season Four – Is it Ten Yet?
I’m not sure about you but as far as I’m concerned the biggest home theater related story of the day, has to be tonight’s premiere of season four of Battlestar Galactica on Sci-Fi HD at 10pm Eastern. I have to admit I was late to the Battlestar Galactica party (just like Firefly…) but I couldn’t [...] PS3 Finally Getting DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding
While it’s not available yet, next week (on tax day no less) the 15th of April to be exact; PS3 owners will finally be able to utilize the DTS-HD MA audio tracks on their Blu-ray discs: “DTS-HD Master Audio is noted for its pure, high-quality bit-for-bit sound. DTS-HD Master Audio has the capacity to deliver audio [...] Mitsubishi Dates Launch for Laser TV
This May will mark the month a new consumer display technology hits the market and along with it a slew of “frickin’ laser” jokes. Branded as LaserVue, (I can feel a laser joke bubbling up as we speak) the displays obviously have Mitsubishi’s executives very excited. Max Wasinger, senior vice president of Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America [...] Panasonic’s BD-Live Capable DMP-BD50 Blu-ray Player
In my estimation every new Blu-ray player that launches with BD Live capabilities (like Panasonics recent DMP-BD50 ) is a good thing for the format. Pioneer Announces Kuro Projector
That’s right, Pioneer announced a projector at the High End show in Munich Germany, one that will proudly wear the Kuro badge to boot but all isn’t as it would appear on the surface. The Kuro KRF-9000FD projector features LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) display technology, a 30,000:1 contrast ratio and will no doubt do [...] Over 70 Million Connected Homes by 2012
I still get a kick out of responding “the internet” when asked what’s the next big thing in home theater? Of course I go on to say there are always several “big things” on the horizon at any given time (3D and lossless downloads come to mind) but more and more advanced interactivity and alternative [...] XStreamHD - Digital Content Delivery with a Twist
This is one of those posts that got shoved off to the back burner and eventually fell off the stove altogether, I’m ashamed but it’s still not too late to finish dinner. This one goes all the way back to CES (yeah I know January was only three months ago) and a little announcement that flew [...] Render Reality - 3D Home Theater Renderings
A week ago (wow time flies) I mentioned some of the fine folks that had helped with the site’s overhaul, one of them is Joe Schrand of Render Reality. Joe’s handiwork now graces the top of every page at Home Theater Blog but that’s really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to [...] Netflix: Pass the Grey Poupon, er Blu-ray
Well, this one kind of caught me off guard, apparently Netflix CEO Reed Hastings in a conference call said that since Blu-ray discs are more expensive to purchase versus standard definition DVD’s, the company will start charging more for accounts that rent Blu-ray discs. Netflix did at one time offer both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs [...] |
