Improve your TV watching experience!

Learn how to shop for a new high-definition TV, and get the features you want for your budget and viewing style. Seattle journalist Clark Humphrey helps you sort through the jargon, understand the technology, consider a variety of peripherals, set up your new system, and find high-definition programming.

The book also looks at how to bring your computer into your TV-viewing system, with notes on video-download sites and products such as the Apple TV and Elgato's EyeTV line. Case studies show how two technology writers have set up tech-laden TV-viewing systems in their homes, and a third case study highlights the importance of paying attention to the fine-print in a return policy. Bonus! The title includes a coupon for $20 off an Elgato Eye TV Hybrid, and a $5-off coupon from Small Dog Electronics.
