Home Theaters in the NYT

There's a great article in the NYT today "Let's All Gather Round the Screen," about the role of home theaters and their increasing presence. Given the falling prices on cutting edge equipment (you could build a decent low-end HDTV theater for just a few grand), people are finding the home theater experience is quickly becoming better than going to a theater to see a film. My favorite quotes in the article come from plasma and projector owners complaining that commercial multiplexes showing films are often "out of focus" compared to their home systems.

There's also a nice companion article about HDTV chips, comparing LCD, DLP, and LCoS. HDTV is a minefield of confusing acronyms and technology (even for a gadget freak like me!) and these types of articles help explain what all the confusing new technologies mean.
