Sony BDP-S590 Review

Sony’s speedy and well-equipped BDP-S590 sports all the essential features of the flagship S790 for significantly less coin.

ViewSonic Pro9000 Review

ViewSonic’s quiet and cool PRO9000 home theater projector impressed us with faithful color output, impressive brightness, and total absence of rainbow effect. It also offers one of the brightest backlit remotes we’ve ever seen. At around $2900, the PRO9000 earns its keep, but if 3D or lens-shifting capability is more important to you than a 20,000 hour lamp life, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

LG price cuts on C8 OLED TVs for Black Friday are more of a sliver than a slash

LG has cut prices on its vaunted C8 series OLED TVs, but the deals aren't as good as last year, and therefore are less compelling. Still, if you're in the market for a new TV this year and want to get the best overall TV money can buy, we still suggest giving these deals a serious look.
