AV Rant #302: In The Cloud
We’ve discovered the source of the noise in the last podcast, and that source is… Well, you’ll have to listen. This week, Tom previews his Arctic P402 Headphone review. Look for that on Audioholics soon. Is Arrested Development on Netflix heralding a new era or are pundits putting all their eggs in the wrong basket? Check out this 8 Milestones in Recorded Sound video. Pretty interesting stuff. On-Live is dead and the CEO pulls the sort of move that could springboard him to the top of the d-bag of the year list. Do you know what the Cloud is? Do you care? Do you care that most Americans seem to be very confused by it? Or are you like Liz and think that CE Pro misrepresented the data just to get clicks? Controlling your TV with your eyes – it’s happening now. Liz will post on our Facebook page pictures and video from the wheelchair fencing event. That’s right WHEELCHAIR FENCING. Can it get more epic than that? We don’t think so. Thanks for listening. Now, don't forget to:

I believe you are a bit confused regarding the 84″, 4k TV. Several times it was mentioned that it would have very limited sweet spots for 3D.
That would be the case for an auto-stereoscopic 3D display. This is passive 3D however (uses passive glasses) similar to what LG offers what theaters use.
The advantage versus LG offerings is that you can still get 1080p 3D since it’s a 4k set. Home passive 3D interlaces content to each eye, so for 1080p sets you are losing data and in many cases there are visible interlacing artifacts on the edges of objects. With this set you will get 1080p per eye and since the DPI is so much higher – hopefully there will no longer be visible interlacing.
