title: How To Pick A Video Screen For Digital Projectors category: Feature Article review date: April 2002 reviewed by: Jerry Del Colliano How To Pick A Video Screen For Digital Projectors Some of the most exciting advances being made in the world of audio/video involve the new, smaller, lower-priced projectors, especially fixed-pixel digital devices such as DLP and D-ILA video projectors. For ultimate picture quality, the traditional CRT projectors, especially the most expensive nine-inch CRT projectors, are still the best in absolute terms. In more real-world applications, D-ILA and DLP projectors offer the ability to reproduce a far larger and far brighter picture by means of a less expensive, physically smaller projector that needs very little maintenance. With all of these advantages, there are still issues that you need to consider in order to get the biggest and best picture for your video setup.

In this year’s Best of, the Terk is eligible for an award.

Mark Cuban may be the only person you and I can think of who not only made billions of dollars in the dotcom boom but actually kept it. Upon selling Broadcast.com to Yahoo, he bucked up for the Dallas Mavericks NBA franchise, immediately adding an enthusiasm and an air of success that Cuban is famous for in all of his ventures. Now that Cuban has the Mavericks making the playoffs, he is back to his entrepreneurial ways with a new sports-driven HDTV network on DirecTV called HDNet (channel 199). HDNet broadcasts high-quality, native HDTV programming, including live NHL and regular season baseball games, along with upcoming Olympic coverage, extreme sports and much more. With Cuban’s touch for turning new technology into gold, AudioRevolution.com wants to see what he sees for HDTV. Here is what he has to say…

In case you haven’t noticed, the high-quality audio disc marketplace is in the middle of a format war, reminiscent of the days of VHS vs. Betamax. But unlike that combat, when the clearly superior technology lost to more powerful marketing and the undeniable power of porn, this time it is much less clear which technology is superior, and even less easy to guess who will win. But while the war goes on, we consumers are the losers. Several years ago, there was talk about the need for a new, high-quality audio disc (HQAD) format that would overcome the limitations of the CD. An obvious physical basis for the format is the Digital Versatile Disc – DVD – which has the high-density storage capability required to get super-quality audio on a disc with a respectable playing time, along the same lines as ...
