Sales of plasma HDTVs have been on the decline for some time now. Alplasma hdtvthough plasmas are generally cheaper than comparably-sized LCD models, their picture isn't as bright; as a result, their images often appear dark and washed out under the bright, fluorescent glare of the local big box store. However, plasmas are often favored by home theater buffs, who savor the display technology's fast refresh rates and often superior reproduction of black and dark tones.

California outlaws large, power-hungry TVs

In a move that could spell the end of the plasma TV industry as we know it, the state of California agreed today to enact strict regulations on the amount of power televisions can consume, effectively outlawing most large plasma TVs as of January 1, 2011, with many more televisions set to be banned beginning January 1, 2013. ]]> Nevada_MO_Guy http://www.highdefforum.com/high-definition-news-informative-articles/103858-california-outlaws-large-power-hungry-tvs.html <![CDATA[We're Running Out of IP Addresses]]> http://www.highdefforum.com/high-definition-news-informative-articles/103839-were-running-out-ip-addresses.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:41:47 GMT

The article is from 2006, but they expect this to come to a head next year! I heard a news report on this the other day so it is getting close. ]]> rbinck http://www.highdefforum.com/high-definition-news-informative-articles/103839-were-running-out-ip-addresses.html tech update http://www.highdefforum.com/high-definition-news-informative-articles/103816-tech-update.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:10:41 GMT Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give you a summary of where we are at. As you may have heard already, as of Friday various IB sites were subject to a vicious cyber attack. We don't know who planned it but it's being investigated. We’ve been working hard to mitigate the problem and we should be fairly stable now. We didn’t post in HDF on Friday because HDF appeared to be unaffected and we didn’t want to alarm the community if it wasn’t necessary.

Please report any problems that you may still experience by sending me a PM .

Thank you for your patience and support.

The PlayStation 3 presents itself as many things… a highly advanced gaming device, a top-notch (reference quality) Blu-ray player, and an Internet enabled pathway to a world of downloadable games, movies, television and BD-Live enabled content. Most everything I’ve tapped into thus far has either met or exceeded my expectations for the PS3 Slim; however, there’s always those items that aren’t so great (the PS3’s web-browser is terrible, with limited access to some of the most popular sites… yes, you can get your web-enabled email, but what about access to Hulu? No dice! Might as well be living behind a firewall in China).
