The 2026 CEDIA Expo was held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, and there was a LOT to see—so much, in fact, that Home Theater Geeks will devote three episodes to covering it! Mike Heiss and Joe Klusnick were there and now join Scott Wilkinson to discuss what they saw and heard.
In this new occasional series within Home Theater Geeks, Scott Wilkinson talks about content he is particularly enjoying. This week, he is really digging Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, the latest spin-off from The Big Bang Theory.
Joe Klusnick, whose home theater was recently featured on Home Theater Geeks, returns to talk about another project he worked on recently: a theater in a senior living community.
Listener Lance Pelissier thinks that "smart TVs" are a waste of money if you have something like a Sony PlayStation or another online streaming source device, and he wonders if "dumb TVs" will make a comeback because they duplicate the functions of those external devices. Scott Wilkinson responds in no uncertain terms.
When Christian Dietz watches YouTube videos from his Roku Ultra on his Sony X900F TV, he is often presented with a choice of 1080p or 2160p. He'd like to know which is the better option. Scott Wilkinson offers some advice and tries to clear up some confusion about where this choice is coming from.
Listener Andrew has ripped DVDs of his home movies to a Synology NAS, and he would like to stream them to his TV without having to use a computer. Can it be done? Scott Wilkinson offers a couple of possible options.
John Durante has built his dream home theater from scratch in his basement, and it's a modern marvel of understated design and exceptional performance. It cost some serious coin, even with a lot of DIY sweat equity, but it's worth every penny.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is undoubtedly this summer's blockbuster cinema experience. It's the first movie to be shot entirely with IMAX 70 mm film cameras, which have superior resolution and an aspect ratio much taller than most commercial cinemas.
Sony made two disturbing announcements recently—first, it is removing over 500 StudioCanal movies from its online PlayStation Store, so that people who bought those titles will no longer have access to them. Second, Sony will no longer sell games for the PlayStation on physical discs.
Richard Charscan, President of AcousticSmart, talks about his approach to designing the ultimate home theaters, including some of the most awesome and outrageous rooms Scott Wilkinson has ever seen.
