Studies have shown that installing huge-ass speakers in your living room makes you 19 percent more attractive to women.
Dear Uncle Crispy: I treated myself to a big-screen TV -- a 47-incher, one of those big, gorgeous plasma bastards. I love it. Gears of War has never looked better. But while my eyes are happy, my ears are not. All the blam-blam-BOOMS in the game sound tinny and small. Most of my games are THX-certified and Dolby this or that. How can I make them sound better?

Uncle Crispy Says: HDTVs are great for your eyes, but terrible for your ears. The problem is that the thin-is-in trend, while good for screens, is bad for sound quality. Speakers on HDTVs are, at best, cheap afterthoughts. Get yourself a decent home theater setup, and get the most expensive one your wallet can afford. Because while HDTVs are expendable and will burn out eventually, a solid home theater setup should last for decades.
