The current crop of high-end displays are producing images that rival your local picture theatre and in some cases surpass it in terms of pure picture quality. The problem is though that these sophisticated display technologies often look distinctly average straight from the box. If you really want to see what your display can do, then you need to have it properly calibrated.

We just had a phone call from Brett to tell us he couldn't make it to work today as he hasn't slept all night. He took home his new Gyrodec and spent the evening setting it up. One thing lead to another which resulted in a 12 hour listening session. Its a rather good thing he isn't actually rostered on today.

Its a rare event that can make me leave the house of an evening without the promise of booze, but the launch of Nintendos new 'Wii' console is one of those such events.

Lining up with 100 of so of my fellow un-washed bretheren (read: geeks like me...) I waited patiently in line until midnight when the store began releasing consoles to those of us who pre-ordered. A quick taxi ride home (I wasn't about to chance a casual mugging on public transport) and I was setting up my new toy.

Paul and Troy are back from their world trip, but the blog continues!

Greetings from Denver, the mile high city! Paul and I are currently at CEDIA Expo US, the largest event in the custom audio visual feild. The sheer scope of the event is massive, with an estimated fifty thousand AV porfessionals decending on the convention centre for a drunken orgy of product training, drinking and strip club jaunts.

We're here to get an eyeful of the latest and greatest products that are about to hit the market both here in the states and back home. Heres some of my personal higlights.

Kalediscape - This is the DVD video server that I've read so much about. Its one thing to read about how good it is, but until you sit down and actually touch and feel it, you just can't appreciate how fantastic the interface is. Its ridiculously expensive, but if you have the money its worth every cent. No Australian distribution that I know of though...
