Both spellings - "grey" and gray" - are correct. While both appear to have British origins ("graeg"), "grey" is more common in the UK, Canada, and other parts of the world, while "gray" is the spelling found most often in the US. Interestingly, words that have "grey" as a part the "compound" word, such as "greyhound", do not generally have a version using "gray", e.g., in this case, "grayhound" is not an accepted alternative to "greyhound".
Actually, it is exactly twice native high def TV definition: 2 x 1920 = 3840 and 2 x 1080 = 2160. What is not stated (that I could find) is whether that's 2160p or 2160i. What would the DVD standard be called - "Really Blu Bluray"?
After Christmas sale price for the Sony S350 in Western Canada was CAD$ 200 (about USD 160). I missed the sale but still got the Sony Store price of CAD 220. Can't imagine spending near that amount for an "off brand" unless proven superior. My S350 looks great on my 50" Sony SXRD - both Bluray (Kingdom of Heaven) and upscaled conventional (Criterion transfer of a 1967 French film, Le Samourai).
Switch came through the other evening and I find it a pain in the ass. I have Shaw's basic level of HD and the two movie channels (incl. HBO Canada) were the last two listed before the Tier 2 channels began. Now, in order to see those two channels, I have to 'page down' a few times. Sure didn't make surfing easoer for me. It would be fine if one had a way to hide unsubscribed-to channels but no such luck.
I am curious as to why all of the manufacturers are going with 1050 rather than 1080. Am I missing something?
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?"
