Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
There are more BD players out there but does that matter? Like Xyzzy said does anyone know what the differences are (other than price)? I spent top dollar on a receiver, and top dollar on a TV... I still don't know what all the different audio standards mean! DTS HD? TrueHD? Then there's HDMI... I know I need it (because all the cool kids are using it) if I want 1080p, but why do I need HDMI 1.3, what's different with that? Was there a 1.0, 1.1, 1.2? What are the differences, what's 1080p/60? Hell, this "profile 1.1" thing that article mentions... this is the first I've heard of it, no idea what it means at all! I'm sure I'm not in the minority. When and if I go to by a HiDef player (and it will likely be HD DVD) I just want something that plays in HiDef... I'm not going to know what all these other differences are. I'm probably going to go down to the local store and say "what's your cheapest hidef player?" like most people would. If he says "But that won't support HDMI 1.3!," he probably wouldn't be able to explain to my why I need HDMI 1.3 anyway... BD has tons of players on the market, but the only characteristic I know how to use to compare them is price, and they're all still too high for me, especially when BD may still lose this war.
dman- You are to put it mildly, a consumer whore.
If you are willing to spend "top dollar" on a tv and receiver but are to lazy to determine what you need to actually put the best signal through it you spend a pile of money for absolutely no reason then to feel good about spending so much money. You could at least be willing to spend "Top Dollar" on a HD source so that you can get a stab at getting a source with the possibility of actually using the high-end sound and picture you paid to have produced. Honestly you have very little chance of properly setting up your equipment since you know so little about what you have and why.
You NEED to go to a nicer high end audio video store. You will pay more,by a lot, for the equipment but they will be able to tell you what to buy and how to set configure it.
I doubt you really paid 'top dollar' but you most likely have 3-5k worth of audio and video gear that you are going to hook up a $150 bargain basement player using radio shack speaker cable. It's a shame when you can simply send a check made out to "cash" to my P.O. Box
