snowman Welcome to the December issue of Practical HT Guide Update

With this issue of our Practical HT Guide Update, I will be closing down on the site activity for 2005. It has been a fantastic year with a lot of hard work going on - work that so far has proved to be very popular both with our readers as well as with the SE.

I will surely continue to put in the same effort and dedication during the year 2006 with the hope that Practical-Home-Theater-Guide.COM will continue to offer valid content to all home theater enthusiasts.

New Additions to the Site:

As promised in our last update, I have added two new guides under the Projection TV section of the site:

The first guide relates to contrast ratio - a topic that is turning out to be a hot issue with product manufactures and that unfortunately is being misused by some in order to push in product sales.

The second guide discusses the different attributes that today's multi-media video projectors should posses when it comes to business applications and home theater use.

In addition, I have also updated a number of articles that relates directly to front projection - this to ensure that all content reflects current advancements in video projection technology.

More info on this new content is given below:

It is hoped that you will enjoy and profit from these new additions.

Take care and stay tuned!
