    We just purchased a new home, and I am trying to figure out how to make my old 195" 2.35 aspect fixed AT screen drop down in front of our windows/doors. I would ideally like to have the screen drop down in front of my speakers, but that would mean extending the screen mount out 3' to clear the...

    This is an experience that has had me frustrated for some time now. Hope it helps some others as well. The problem was streaming Tidal 'Hi-Fi' through my computer. After doing simple test tones I found a huge dip centered at 60hz. Very little sound coming out at this frequency. Most...

I kept hearing something 'odd', but it wasn't until some recent changes that I realized that the screen casing was the culprit. Wrapping the outside with FatMat solved...

    Would it be possible to have a smoothing indication tickmark in the Graph drop down menu? You can see this information on graph legend but when choosing smoothing this is unconviently quite far away. Even two different smoothings could be chosen for comparison! I use this quit a lot by opening...

    The popularity of 3D television just didn't hit the mark, in general at least, and that remains true in the world of sports. ESPN plans to discontinue it's 3D channel by the end of this year, an experiment they started in 2010. With the 3D exit, ESPN has plans to jump past 1080p and and...
