ThinkFlood’s RedEye turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a Universal Remote – finally answering the prayers of frustrated home theatre aficionados looking to de-clutter their lives. Using your home Wi-Fi network (to download device codes – saving you a lot of time in programming), the RedEye docking station interprets Wi-Fi signals from your iPhone / iPod Touch and converts them into infrared (IR) signals to control nearly any device: including televisions, stereos, DVD & Blu-Ray players, AV receivers, projectors, Foxtel / Austar, CD players and more! Because the RedEye base station is in the same room as your audio visual equipment, you can roam the house (within your Wi-Fi range) and still control every item. Very handy when you realise you’ve left the TV in the lounge room after you’ve gotten comfortable in bed. Set-up is fairly straight-forward. Once you’ve downloaded the free RedEye ap... continue reading

3D TV will debut in Australia in April when Samsung introduces their 3D compatible LED, LCD and Plasma television range and their first 3D Blu-Ray Player. Just a pesky rumour in 2009, 3D TV is the buzz-phrase of 2010, with leading manufacturers showcasing their models at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. The first 3D ready televisions being released are Samsung’s LED7000, LED8000 & LED9000 series, Plasma 7000 series and above, and 750 Series LCD TVs – each of which features a 3D auto-conversion chip that can render 2D content into 3D in real time. Other manufacturers releasing 3D TVs this year include Sharp (60” Aquos), Panasonic (Viera in July), Sony (LX900 Bravia in July), LG Electronics & Toshiba. Prices for all models have yet to be released, but aren’t expected to be much higher than similar LED, LCD and Plasmas already on the market. ... continue reading

L aser TV debuted in a blaze of glory in late 2008 and went straight to the top of many people’s must-have list … but it’s almost 2010 and Australia still hasn’t seen the plasma-killer. Mitsubishi have released their 65” LaserVue Rear Projection HDTV in the USA (Model L65A90) at a recommended retail of $US6,999 (you can find it on Amazon at an enormous 1% off). But it’s the only model available – from anyone. Apart from an R&D company in the US announcing in September 09 that they’re working on a 100” 3D Laser TV, the rest of the manufacturing world is very quiet on the topic. But here’s the big sticking point - why isn’t Laser TV available for sale here in Australia? We checked with the local Mitsubishi re... continue reading

So you've got your incredible new television, now you want to mount it on your wall. Here's an easy overview to help you get the exact model. The quickest way is to confirm the weight, size & mounting standard of your TV (in the first three columns on the left), then scan the options to find your perfect fit. Tips on using this chart: Max Weight & Screen Size - check the details with the information provided with your television. If your TV is slightly larger than the specs below, but easily falls under the maximum weight, you should still be OK using that bracket. Hide Mount - the width and height of your TV needs to be this minimum to ensure you can't see the bracket when standing in front of your mounted television. Tilt / Swivel - some of our brackets give you the ability to move the TV. Great for areas like the kitchen or bedroom where you have multiple viewing angles.... continue reading

There are three main elements that ensure that a Subwoofer is truly a well-built, high-performance unit and not just another big "boom box." 1. Amplifier Board The quality of the amplifier board inside the subwoofer is critical to its performance. A high current toroidal power supply delivers massive amounts of clean wattage, essential for tight, controlled bass. A heat sink ensures operation even through extended bass recordings. Most subwoofers below $2000 don’t use high quality boards like the ones found in the Steinman Audio Labs' SMS range which is used in this article as a comparative example. 2. Box Design The right box can make as much as 50% difference to the performance of a subwoofer. A well-built enclosure with internal bracing and non-vibrating materials reduces standing waves and allows the driver to deliver a tight controlled bass… so you only hear the noises... continue reading
