LCD TV Buying - part 684

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

Darn, I hate shopping for a new LCD television. As mentioned, I first set my mind on the 42PF9831, the new Philips flagship TV. However, no 1920 x 1080p screen, in contrast to the 37PF9731 (which BTW does not accept 1080p signals, only 1080i).

Which really put me down, as this would mean no true-HD. I like the big, white surroundings of the 42PF9831 and the full Ambilight though, so I will wait till both TV’s are available to compare them, but I must admit that the lack of a 1920×1080 screen on the 42″ really is a big setback.

In the mean time, I spend my time reading a couple of forums: GOT (Dutch), Hifi-forum (German) and AV Forums (UK)

Trailer Remix

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

Being a bit of a movie addict, I lately scour the internet looking for good trailer remixes.

One of the best I found is “Shining” :

Like them ? I’ve collected quite a few good others in my YouTube playlist (autoplay top 20).

[ note: I try to avoid adding all crap Brokeback Mountain-reference remixes, unless they’ve been done well ]

Too bad the Fight Club remix isn’t on YouTube (guess due to copyright issues).

Have fun day.
