Aside from several points on that comparison being false, it doesn't mention the inferior service, less elegant interface, and that it's not that tremendous a savings by the time you make a serious investment. A pretender to the throne.

Might be worth noting that the panel is not nearly as big a factor as the video processor is. The 120hz panel w/ a BeoSystem 3 looks better than the 240hz panel without one. Additionally, when the 240hz panel is matched with the BeoSystem 3, there won't be that significant a difference, as Moxxey has mentioned.

I'm not sure you've thought through your list of requirements versus the capabilities of the AppleTV w/ ATFlash. You say you don't need to stream from NAS, but you also want to watch movies. Even the largest AppleTV hard drive would fill up quickly. I have about 20 movies and a few seasons of TV shows and I'm over 200GB. Far more than

If you mean "is there an alternative that provides anything close to the performance and ease of use of the Kaleidescape at any price-point?" the answer is No. There is nothing on the market quite like it. Out of the many

Do so at your own risk! The AppleRemote profile in the PUC will still run it fine, but it's a pain in the ass to work. You have to put media on it with an FTP loader and since there's no syncing operation (the media's either there or it's not, it can't stream from a Mac if the AppleTV runs out of room) you have to attache a HD to

[quote user="Peter "] [quote user="Puncher"] I would be very interested to see the picture next to the Samsung TV that uses the same panel. This isn't a critisism or a complaint about price, I just think it would be interesting to see if B&O's DSP is really that much better than anyone elses and is equally true of the
