The perennial question you and admirers of your entertainment suite have is one and the same: how to showcase the entertainment system without destroying the design flow of the room?

This might clash with the whole theme of your room – be it modernist or classic American. Plus, what if you've got those top-drawer high-tech entertainment items in a modest space? In comes TECHCRAFT with just the right solution for your organization and showcasing needs.

A home theater system consists of many different elements that need to come together in order to deliver a truly satisfying viewing experience. By far, two of the most important of these elements are the type of display and the sound system. A true home theater experience relies upon the fusion of both the visual and aural elements. If the two are able to complement each other well, the end result is sure to be spectacular. However, if the either element is lacking in terms of quality and performance, the impact is greatly lessened. In terms of visuals, nothing else says “impact” like a colossal screen, such as the Elite Screens Spectrum 84" Diagonal 16:9 Electric Projection Screen. ]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/10/seeing-the-big-picture-the-perfect-projection-screen/feed/ 0 VMD – the DVD Format War may Continue http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/01/vmd-reminds-everyone-the-dvd-format-war-may-continue/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vmd-reminds-everyone-the-dvd-format-war-may-continue http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/01/vmd-reminds-everyone-the-dvd-format-war-may-continue/#comments Sat, 01 Mar 2008 17:19:50 +0000 Sr. Editor Lonny Paul http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/03/01/vmd-reminds-everyone-the-dvd-format-war-may-continue/ Fighting against the new DVD champion, VMD is the disc format that thinks it can - but only time will tell as this highly versatile format, which uses standard discs now in use and is backwards compatible, continues to push their low-price players and recorders.
The company just issued a press release saying "All indications are that VMD can fill the void left by HD DVD," and that "The way is now clear for VMD to be embraced by the industry." We suppose thats true -- the Asian bootlegging industry really hasnt weighed in with a format choice yet, has it? In any event, VMD players have apparently been shipping to the US for a month now.
