Katsuhiro Tsubonou, Yoshiharu Kawaguchi, dirs.; Norio Okada, Katsuhiro Miura, engs. DDD. If this is supposed to be the age of communication, why aren't people communicating?

Anybody got OUTER LIMITS season 2 yet...?
Home Theater Forum &bull Aug 18, 2010
I can't find any reviews anywhere, and it comes out in just a couple of days.... How's it look/sound? Is it on par with the season 1 set? Glenn M. Erickson has a review up now at his DVD Savant website. Sounds comparable to the Season One set (really got to pick these up someday). I, too must pick both sets up some day.

Sharp Quattron, Hard of Hearing, Kuro Spoilage
Mark Fleischmann Blog on Home Theater Magazine &bull Aug 11, 2010Oh My!I was listening to Leo Laporte's recent "Tech Guy" podcast on which you discussed Sharp televisions and their new Quattron technology, which uses four colors (red, green, blue, and yellow). I agree with your comments that the goal should be to accurately reproduce the original colors. Is this technology akin to inkjet printers using more than three inks to more accurately reproduce colors? Do you know if Sharp is trying to create "extra" color or using a new technique to reproduce color content that isn't being properly generated? According to Sharp's website, "For… Full Story »
