Home Theater Screens

Friday, July 17th, 2009

When it comes to deciding on a screen, the first consideration is the type of screen you want or even may need. If the room where you are setting up your home theater is large, then you will need to have a home theater projection screen or maybe you just want one anyway.

I, personally, like the idea of having a drop-down screen, but sometimes you have to have one even in a modest home theater. It converts your living room into a home theater: you recline in your chair; click a button and a screen drops down; click a button and the lights dim; click another one and the movie begins!

However, if you prefer a television screen, then you might be considering buying a new one. They say that a 27 inch screen is big enough, but I do not think it is. I think you need 48-60 inches, but then I’m a baby-boomer and my eyes are definitely not what they were.

If you are buying a new TV for your home theater, I think you should aim high. HDTV is upon us and since February 2009 the USA is committed to High Definition. So, I would make sure that your new TV is capable of receiving it. Then I suggest that the new home theater screen be a flat one to reduce the annoying glare that could ruin the experience. (This could be another reason for opting for a projection screen).

Then you should ensure that the new television has enough input and output sockets for the equipment you plan to use and youre done. So, to summarize, I would go for:

At minimum a 27 inch screen

A flat screen

HDTV compliant

Enough input and output plugs and sockets

Satellite compatibility

I would definitely get a receiver which is already satellite enabled, because it is the future or even the near future. If you get a satellite TV connection you will have access to HDTV downloads which you can watch on your new home movie theater set-up whenever you want.

Best Bet for Green Day Boston Tickets

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Not only has Green Day managed to stay together as a band and continue to pump out their catchy flavor of punk rock, but they’ve achieved a level of cult status rarely seen for punk bands. From their roots as a local California band with a small following, they’ve become a mega band playing the globe and probably the most influential punk band in existence over the past two decades.

The band wasn’t named Green Day when they first started playing small California gigs. Performing as the group Sweet Children, they worked their way into the California punk seen in the late eighties and early nineties. They signed with Lookout! Records in 1989 and released their first EP, “1,000 Hours”. One issue that came up for the trio is that another local band had a similar name, so to set themselves apart, the group started performing under the name Green Day.

The trio that makes up Green Day include front man Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool. Three guys who started out together with big dreams, the same dreams as thousands of small bands that star every year, but Green Day managed to find success and spread their music to a huge fan base. Now they are another band with longevity that young musicians can emulate.

The current Green Day 2009 tour, their first tour in three years, is worldwide. The tour kicks off in Seattle on July 3. The band will perform all over the world until the end of the year to promote their latest album, “21st Century Breakdown.” The album has done remarkably well, boasting five hit singles. More than 12 million copies of the album have been sold worldwide.

Despite their roots in an alternative genre, Green Day has taken their catchy brand of punk to the masses, and along the way, achieved iconic status. Now Green Day is one of the established bands of the last two decades, a far cry from being a small band trying to make it in California.

This year’s tour includes a concert in Boston at TD Banknorth Garden on July 20, 2009. The show starts at 7:30 PM, and the best place to find tickets is by using a tool like TicketZinger.com, which shows all of the various ticket services prices at one time.
