The Codec — Edition 4
Welcome to edition four of “The Codec”.
Edition 4: HDTV Boogaloo
By: Tony Nilles
This edition of the codec is an “audio edition”. Its something new that you might love, or you might hate. In either case, we want to know your thoughts on it; so please, if you listen to it, post a comment here, or drop us a line at uncompressedshow@gmail.com
Also, during this recording you will hear a couple of references to the “upcoming episode 10″, this edition of the codec was recorded last week pre-episode 10 of “Uncompressed”. Thom and I were trying to decide whether we were going to release this or not, but since it was already recorded we figured we would throw it out there and see what everyone thought.

Tony,
This was great…I have the same Sony Grand Wega but the 55″ and I did a lot of research before I dropped a tax return on it, I especially looked into LCOS. I am very glad I did go with the LCD projection in the end - The best choice for gamers!
I have one gripe about my Sony, it’s the video inputs. I have to cycle through each video input manually, rather than a menu option and a nice dropdown box or something using the remote…not sure if I am missing something in that manual.
This is exactly what you need to know before buying an HDTV!

I have a 50″ Sony Grand Wega, and I have the same complaint about the video inputs! I hate it when I bump the wrong button, then need to cycle all the way through again! ARRRG!
I have several other gripes about the TV as well, but I was, for the most part, an early adopter, so I expect some of that. When I move out (which will hopefully be soon) I am planning on buying a plasma or LCoS for my living room, and then keep my Wega as a bedroom TV (which is how I am using it now).
