It was an effort. First I had to get everything hooked up properly and set the proper settings per input channel (some are in game mode most times, though Beautiful Katamari looks best in the TV’s super-saturated, super-postprocessed Vivid setting, and it’s not so time-sensitive/reaction sensitive to really sweat the little delay in display). During [...] From ckd, a link to an Ars Technica summary that points (as well to other discussion and original content) to a forum post by an electrical engineer about cheap vs. expensive HDMI cables, as well as a discussion about HDMI 1.0, 1.1 and 1.3 compliant cables.

And some accessories. [...] I talked with my boss today. He’s an HDTV owner, who bought his probably 6 months ago, and is already experiencing “buyer’s remorse” (because of how quickly technology moves).
