Monster® Partners with Simplay Labs in an HDMI Educational Campaign
Companies announce a strategic marketing and R&D partnership to clear up confusion surrounding HDMI
BRISBANE, Calif., July 10, 2007 – Monster®, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-end cables, accessories, and power conditioning products, is proud to announce it has launched a strategic partnership with Simplay Labs to help educate retailers and consumers on the importance of higher performance standards set for HDMI certification.
“Consumers need to have confidence in what they buy,” said The Head Monster, Noel Lee. “Currently, there’s a lot of mis-information about HDMI, It’s confusing for a consumer to know which cable will work with not only current products, but also future generations of products.”
This partnership will include an educational initiative, including Monster’s support of Simplay Labs in trainings to the sales floor, a new line of Simplay HD verified HDMI cables from Monster, and a higher performance cable verification program that is currently in development by Simplay Labs.
“We always strive to build our cables above and beyond current specifications,” Lee added, “with Simplay HD’s strict testing and verification standards, consumers can understand the various levels of HDMI cable performance and select the right cables for their application.”
“The Simplay HD Testing Program verifies high definition components and cables for HDMI interoperability and connectivity,” explained Joseph Lias, President of Simplay Labs. “As a result, consumers can be confident when they see the Simplay HD logo, that their HD components and cables will perform as claimed and work together seamlessly. This is an outstanding opportunity for Simplay Labs and Monster to educate both retailers and consumers there are differences in cable designs, with high-performance cables going above and beyond the HDMI specification.”

I am budgeting about 500-600 for the project and about 100 for the screen. I can afford a 2000 projector.

A ViewSonic PJ506D SVGA (800×600) 4:3/16:9 2000 lumens business projector is going for 500 with a mail free screen and mount offer.

An InFocus In72 WVGA (852×480) 900 lumens home theater projector is going for about the same refurbished with no extras.

I have read that I really should get a home theater projector rather than a business projector like the 506D, but the lumens scares me.

I am projecting on an 80″screen with blinds and curtains closed. no lights. still some ambient light.

Which will be better. I am going to use it the a really nice DVD player, Wii and Home theater PC. No interest in HD DVDs for atleast 3-4 years when I will prob upgrade this anyway.
