Back at Samsung’s HD Display Suite in Toronto, Steve gets into the nitty gritty of DLP, LCD & Plasma technology, plus HDMI connectors. Thinking of getting the best audio for your gorgeous HD picture? Feeling grossed out by the germs collecting in those bits of a muffin you munched over the keyboard?

HDTV is cropping up everywhere, but for those who get mystified with the jargon & specifications, Steve shows you what to look for in a new system, surrounded by the LCD, plasma and DLP projection display beauties in the Samsung High Definition Display Suite. Also, the Samsung K5, T9, and the Freezone CPU Cooler.

HP Media Centre

HD, LCD, HDMI in the DLR??? Steve gets us up to speed on what we need to know before purchasing our next television set. Take HP’s LC3700N, for example: this 37" TV can deliver uncompressed video for more than double the image quality of regular TV. Pair it with HP’s Pavilion 7170n Media Center PC to play back prerecorded shows, or wow guests with surround sound music and a personal slide show at your next party. Did we say party? Caroline shows how to get the word out with a free service from Evite.com.

Portable Audio

Take your entertainment with you when you leave the digital living room. We visit Audible.com where you can purchase & download talking books, newspapers or magazines for portable devices such as the Palm Treo 650 smartphone. And Apple’s iPod Nano is the pencil-thin little brother of the iPod family, great for storing music and photos.

Looking for a new TV?

If the answer to that question is yes, then do we ever have the show for you! We are going on a road trip this week to visit our good friends at Samsung. HDTV, DLP, CRT, LCD, Plasma ... is your head spinning yet? Don't worry, we are going to lay it all out for you in plain english and help you figure out what suits you and your household. We are going to take our time and spend the whole show going through the details, so sit back in front of your TV and I will show you ... well, TVs
