SONY'S FULL HD SXRD PROJECTOR BRINGS CINEMATIC HOME THEATER EXPERIENCE TO BROAD AUDIENCE
DENVER(CEDIA Booth #150), Sept. 13, 2006– Sony Electronics expects to break another barrier in the home theater category with its latest front projector.
The new VPL-VW50 model, based on the company's exclusive Silicon X-tal Reflective Display (SXRD) technology, offers native 1920 x 1080 lines of resolution bringing the cinematic experience to consumers.
Pairing Sony's critical eye for performance with the growing mass interest in the front projection market, the projector offers an practical step up for video fans looking for a full high-definition, large screen home theater solution.
"In the past, a high performance font projection system required a pitch-black room and expensive equipment," said Philip Abram, vice president of television marketing for Sony Electronics. "Today's introduction opens the front projection market to a much broader group of home theater enthusiasts."
With a suggested retail price of less than $5,000, the VPL-VW50 joins Sony's two existing 1080p SXRD front projectors, the QUALIA 004R1 and the VPL-VW100, using three 0.61-inch SXRD chips (one each for red, green and blue color reproduction), delivering a 1920 x 1080 full high-definition picture.
The projector features an easy to maintain 200-watt Ultra High Pressure Lamp which produces high brightness at 900 lumens, reproducing natural and accurate colors.
Also new is the VW50's 1-chip video processing engine which enables the projector to use a fully digital chassis, eliminating signal noise caused by analog to digital or digital to analog conversion. The result is a highly detailed, smooth picture.
The VW50 also features dual HDMI inputs which support both 1080p/60 and 24p frame rates. It processes at a direct multiple of 24p to avoid artifacts like judder or flicker when viewing next generation high-definition formats like Blu-ray disc. Other inputs include component video, RGB, S-video and composite video. An RS-232C connection is included for flexible control options.
The new All Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens, optimized for high resolution 1080 images, brings an even better picture into focus. The lens has 16 elements which allow for flexible throw distances making installation easier in less than ideal conditions.
The VW50 is also equipped with Advanced Iris 2, which produces accurate blacks and helps to deliver a dynamic contrast ratio of up to 15,000:1 when "auto" Iris mode is selected. The Advanced Iris 2 also features a variable setting allowing for user optimization. The projector also features 1.8x powered lens zoom, powered focus as well as powered vertical lens shift to adjust the location of the image for flexible installation locations. Like its predecessors, the VW50 unit's advanced cooling structure produces a low fan noise of 22dB, critical for home theater applications.
The new VPL-VW50 projector will be available this month at Sony Style stores and online at www.sonystyle.com for $4,999.99. It will also be offered at authorized dealers nationwide.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

AT&T basically went downhill as even for Internet, they were slow in offering services as AT&T WorldNet did not exist until 1994.
In 1994, the commercialization of the Internet accelerated rapidly, forcing major telecommunications giants like AT&T to compete directly with pioneering network operators like BBN (Bolt Beranek and Newman).
AT&T's Early Moves. In October 1994, AT&T launched its first public World Wide Web presence (www.att.com). However, AT&T initially lagged behind rivals in offering direct, commercial Internet backbone and access services, leading it to look for external partnerships to catch up quickly.
Having built and operated the original ARPANET, BBN formed its commercial Internet service provider (ISP) division, BBN Planet, in 1994. By the end of that year, BBN acquired regional networks like SURAnet, making it the largest provider of corporate and institutional Internet access in the United States.
Long-distance rival MCI moved faster than AT&T into commercial Internet infrastructure. Alongside Sprint, IBM, and UUNet, MCI operated one of the primary commercial Internet backbones as the government-funded NSFNET prepared for decommissioning in 1995.
Because AT&T needed immediate enterprise-grade Internet capabilities to counter MCI and Sprint, AT&T forged a major alliance with BBN Planet in mid-1995.
According to The New York Times, AT&T guaranteed BBN Planet at least $120 million in revenue over three years to supply Internet access and security services to AT&T's corporate clients, while also purchasing a minority stake in the company.
While the BBN partnership gave AT&T an immediate foothold in corporate Internet services, AT&T soon built out its own massive consumer and enterprise infrastructure, launching dial-up service AT&T WorldNet in 1996. So basically AT&T would use BBNPlanet's backbone and BBNPlanet would then use MCI's backbone for anything they didn't handle directly.
Meanwhile, GTE acquired BBN in 1997, eventually merging it into what became Verizon's network assets.

Only thing was I thought AT&T split into 13 Regional Bell Operating Companies and not 7 like it says.

Breakfast for lunch. Crispy corned beef hash, home fries, two over easy eggs and sourdough toast.
Grabbed a burrito on the run. Beef, pinto beans, green chile and cheese. Stewart's cream soda.
Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?
