			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No, I am not talking about the <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=6305971285%26tag=n3wblog-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/6305971285%253FSubscriptionId=02ZH6J1W0649DTNS6002">Repo Man</a> coming into my house and taking away my aging PowerMac G5 (aka &#8220;hitomi&#8221;). Nope, I&#8217;ve repUrposed the machine as a sort of bedroom home-entertainment hub. Disconnected from my command center, I moved it upstairs and hooked it up to the 32&#8243; Toshiba LCD screen and NAD stereo system via a DVI-&gt;HDMI cable and the built-in audio out stereo mini jack. Control is via my Logitech wireless desktop mouse and keyboard (the <a href="http://n3wb.com/boolean/archives/2007/03/new-keyboard-logitech-s530/">S530</a>, if you must know) and the screen is supplemented with an old 17&#8243; Samsung LCD monitor I had kicking around for desktop control. The Toshiba&#8217;s only a 720p monitor and running Leopard in 1280&#215;720 overscanned eliminates the menu strip and dock, not to mention, the text&#8217;s a little funny.</p>
<p>I spent a few minutes trying to calibrate the screen and got it fairly well done, but the panel isn&#8217;t exactly top-of-the-line. In fact, it&#8217;s somewhere near the bottom. There&#8217;s some noticeable grain on screen and I had to roll the gamma back to about 1.7 to bring up some of the shadows and mids. Still, a quick test run with some video streamed from my main desktop machine over wireless seemed to be getting the job done just fine. I look forward to spending tomorrow morning in bed watching cartoons streamed over the wifi.</p>
