  1. It's official: Vizio's Via TV delayed till January. http://fwd4.me/5AK I wonder if it will be pushed back even further?
  2. TV power consumption guide now updated and chock-full of new models. Plasma still twice as power-hungry as LCD. http://fwd4.me/4qC
  3. Tweet catch-up: Reviews for a couple of smaller sets: http://fwd4.me/4q9 and http://fwd4.me/4qA More to come.
  4. Fame! Finally! I'm now the 423 most-cited name in the Cardon Capture Database--tied with 2203 others. http://fwd4.me/3dI
  5. In case you didn't know, dejudder on 120Hz and 240Hz LCDs comes with a price. http://fwd4.me/2ti
  6. Extended warranties? Almost never. The only time a gadget of mine that failed was a laptop. Glad I got the 3-year plan. http://fwd4.me/2Z5
  7. LG's PS80 plasma reviewed. Great streaming, Vudu nearly Blu-ray quality. Black levels not up to snuff though. http://fwd4.me/2Z1
  8. OLED priced lower than LCD by 2016. Should you care now? http://fwd4.me/28u
  9. Vizio's VF551XVT does indeed have great blacks for the buck. Wonder when the 552 will actially ship? http://fwd4.me/1q5
  10. The six most-efficient HDTVs this year in watts/sq inch. Guess how many are LED-based LCDs? http://fwd4.me/1q3
  11. I was on NPR yesterday talking smack about Energy Star. Interview was taped in Aug, but still relevant. about 2:30 in. http://fwd4.me/14l
  12. Vizio VF551XVT impressions: looks good, deep blacks, but sacrifices some contrast with global dimming of LEDs. heckuva bargain though.
  13. Sharp's LED-based LCD display: most efficient HDTV we've ever tested. But the LEDs don't really affect picture quality. http://fwd4.me/0RH
  14. Into the Sharp LC-LE700UN review now. No local dimming, no edge-lit, still an LED. One thing's for sure: it's a power sipper.
  15. Samsung 8500: Excellent and expensive, definitely best LCD I've seen. Same perf ("9") as Panny V10 plasma. Full review: http://bit.ly/2rlW1M
  16. Back from mini-break and heading into the Samsung 8500 review. Looked great in the demo; we'll see soon enough.
  17. Week's newsletter: Samsung PJ, CEDIA ruck and Matt's jands-on with the PS3 Slim as a Blu-ray player. http://bit.ly/2UrRV
  18. Got the LG PS80 plasma, using it in a comparo prior to review. Initial impressions: blacks are worse than Samsung and especially Panasonic.
  19. Surprise! Samsung's $13K projector, designed by Joe Kane, totally rocks. http://bit.ly/3RTyvt
  20. One more Samsung: Meeting them on the 23rd, they'll bring by an 8500 (http://bit.ly/r8TfK) for review. "LED TV" is blitzing every down.
