I like digital copy. It allows me to keep a copy in the living room on blu ray and have a copy on my network accessible to other areas of the house (mostly the 24" iMac in my bedroom doubling as a TV).
I only wish that they would package a higher definition digital copy.
I've never understood the criticism that modern RPTV's take for not being "flat." Unless you plan on mounting it on a wall, there's very little difference. Is it just the wife/girlfriend factor?
I find that the CNET settings are pretty close to right. I would much rather input them before going to the DVE test patterns than go straight from factory settings to DVE. Maybe it's just a personal preference, but, none the less, I find some value in CNET's numbers.
Plus, I would MUCH rather e-mail friends that don't calibrate their sets those numbers than let them use by DVE disk and have to field a dozen questions on how to use it. But, again, personal preference.
I like these actually. They aren't perfect - but they are pretty close which makes calibrating a lot easier when you don't have to start from sratch.
Plus....it's great to be able to e-mail those settings to people that don't calibrate at all. Anything is better than watching a TV that someone that doesn't know what they are doing tried to calibrate.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
