Gadgets, And Women Who Love Them -- Courant.com

Ten sites for the unisex home-entertainment consumer:

CNET ( www.cnet.com): For quality and quantity of reviews on all things technological, no site is better. Its "HDTV Basics" is required reading for the novice.

Remote Central ( www.remotecentral.com): Now that you have an HDTV, a high-def cable box, PlayStation 3 and an audio-video receiver, how to best control them all with a single remote? Remote central has the answer.

iLounge ( www.ilounge.com): The former iPod Lounge changed its name, broadened its focus slightly — the iPhone is part of its iWorld — but remains an online iPod landmark.

Projector Central ( www.projectorcentral.com): Want a real home theater, with a real projector that flashes a monstrous picture on a screen? Start here. Also try Projector Reviews ( www.projectoreviews.com).

The Digital Bits ( www.digitalbits.com): If it's on DVD or Blu-ray, it's at Digital Bits: movie-related news, reviews, upcoming features and rumors. Hollywood's best friend.

Blu-rayStats.com: A nerd's guide to Blu-ray. Click on "Blu-ray Statistics" for the real down-and-dirty numbers: aspect ratio, bit rates, run time and box-office gross in a no-frills presentation.

The Computer Audiophile ( www.computeraudiophile.com): Everything you want to know about setting up wireless music distribution in your house is here. Click on "Computer Audiophile Academy."

Monoprice.com: The best place, with the best prices, on the Net for HDMI cables, connectors and everything else for your home-entertainment system.

Mac Rumors (www.macrumors): News, rumors, adulation and complaints, all part of the cult of Steve Jobs. (Be sure to track down the artist's rendition of the forthcoming Apple tablet computer, a jumbo iPod Touch.)

Tech Bargains ( www.techbargains.com): I gave up Woot long ago for this site that aggregates the best tech buys on the web each day. For the non-techies, try PlanetBargains.com.
