Man Cave Must Haves

This is one of the finest TVs I have had a chance to review. Samsung in my option has made some of the best TVs around. LED is the newest technology to come around. And Samsung does one hell of a job with it. The current price on Amazon is 2400.00. The price is outstanding for a 55 inch LED TV. The TV offers 4 HDMI inputs, only 1 component, 2 USB, 1 Ethernet, 1 PC, 1 optical digital audio output and Auto Motion Plus 240Hz technology for picture quality. The Medi@2.0 lets you enjoy more with Internet TV, allowing you to receive content via Yahoo!, Flickr, and more via on-screen TV widgets and one slick feature. If you’re like me you sank about 3 grand in your last TV a few years ago and trying to tell your wife you need a new TV might be a tough sell. So take her to your local best buy and show her this TV. Then of course go home and save your self a couple hundred and buy it from Amazon. This TV has one of the best pictures around and the smallest foot print I have ever seen in a TV this size. The sound generated for the speaker is almost better  than the Bose system I reviewed a few days ago. So if you can talk your wife into a new TV check some of the new LED TV from Samsung. The 55 inch model gets 5 out of 5.

Onkyo makes some of the finest Home Theater Receivers around. They have models for all price ranges. The Onkyo 160 currently on Amazon is almost 370.00. That’s a great price for the sound and features that this system offers. If you are like me you bought your current receiver about 5 years ago and now with blu-ray coming around its time to update. If you do not have a ton of cash like me to spend on a receiver this is the one to buy. It offers 5 hdmi inputs, Dolby’s latest technology, Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz, which adds “front height” channels to bring a spacious new vertical dimension to the sound stage. Along with intelligent Audyssey equalization. The HT-RC160 gives you a ton of connectivity options, so you can incorporate HD Radio™, iPod®, and more. I took that from Amazon. Onkyo does offer a 180 model at almost double the price its worth it as well. I would recommend the 160 and if you have the money the 180. The system sounds great offers many features and the update in receivers your man cave needs. The Onkyo 160 gets 5 out of 5.

About a year or so ago I could never understand why someone would buy a stand alone Blu-Ray player for 300-400 dollars and not just a PS3 instead. I do understand the PS3 doesn’t always give you the best picture. But you get a Blu-ray player and a video game system for the same price. But now the price of stand alone blu-ray players has come way down. The current price for this one is around 165.00 on Amazon. The system offers netcast for youtube and NetFlix. Full HD 1080p output via HDMI with Cinema mode at 24 or 60 frames per second USB Media Host and 7.1 channels with Dolby Digital Plus & TrueHD & dts-HD. I have yet to have a chance to explore all the options that this system offers. I can tell you it gives you some of the finest picture quality around. At the price of 165.00 you cannot go wrong with this blu-ray player. So if you have yet to jump into blu-ray I would give this system some serious consideration. The LG 370 gets a strong 4 out of 5.

It’s time folks!! We all have a TV in our Man Cave but how many of us have a nice wall projector for that great Cave Theater experience? Well it’s time to review a few of the beasts and see what all the outside world has to offer. I like to call it our own little slice of Man Cave Heaven.

A common misconception when it comes to projectors is they cannot get the resolution that a normal TV can get. This is not true at all. You can easily find quite a few projectors that get just as high of resolution as your favorite Big Screen TV (Full 1080p) at half the cost. Plus with the right environment you can get a picture that is twice the size of the biggest TV’s! One thing you do have to keep in mind when buying a projector is what kind of lighting do I have in my Man Cave? The reason you need to ask yourself this question, is how much light you have in the room WILL reflect on a projectors picture quality! Luckily most of us like our Man Caves nice and dark so it shouldn’t be to big of a problem. Next up are our reviews of some of the best projectors out there for your buck!

If you’re like me, you find yourself gaming all hours of the night. Whether you still live in your parent’s basement, or have a wife and kid, there are times you are just forced to play quietly. We all know that turning down the sound totally takes away from the whole gaming experience. That’s why I suggest trying the Ear Force X41 Digital RF Wireless Game Audio+ Chat with Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound.

Although the micophone isn’t the greatest, just like others on the market, the headphones make up for any shortcomings that would keep you from making the purchase. These headphones allow you to have the ultimate gaming experience without the rest of the neighborhood having to join in for the festivities.

These headphones are man cave, and wife, approved.

So I’d like my first post to be about the Zune HD. I know that it’s suppose to be awesome but does anyone know why? Guess what, I do!!! Let’s get down to brass tacks and learn about why the Zune has finally found a point that it can compete with the IPOD. Hit the read link for the scoop!!

The Xbox 360 beat all other systems to the next gen punch. That head start really shows. They have some great games and the Halo franchise is one of my favorites. The system also has some great innovations on the horizon in Project Natal. Project Natal could change the way we play games all together, but we have heard that before. It would allow the user to play with no controller and all motions are controlled by your body. I also feel that while beating all other competition to the market, they may have skipped out on the quality of the system. The dreaded red ring of death has claimed my first xbox.

Every time I turn my new one on I still wonder if this is the time it happens again. I have been a subscriber of live since week one over six years ago. The $50 price for a year subscription is a small price. It allows me to play online with my friends, voice and video chat, download tv show, movies and even stream Netflix®. The system is starting to show it age and the ps3 is starting to get some momentum and might even over take the 360. But with the Xbox 360’s new price drop the battle is on. In closing the Xbox 360 is a sure bet for any Man Cave.
