The VideoEq Pro is an exceptional product that provides a staggering level of control over a display’s greyscale, gamma and colour gamut. In conjunction with CalMAN V4 it also offers a degree of automation that is as impressive as it is effective. Read the full review...

Passionate about consumer electronics technology, product innovation and for providing market leading consumer product reviews, together with the ability to identify rapidly changing consumer driven trends; these are just some of the strengths that have made AVForums the UK’s busiest, independent on-line consumer forum for home consumer electronics. Due to a significant increase in forum membership numbers accompanied by a need to capitalise on our influence when advising consumer electronic manufacturers and retailers regarding consumer choices and habits, we are keen to appoint a high calibre, ambitious and driven Sales & Marketing Manager to help grow our market presence through media presentations, sales and marketing and commercial channels.

I have made a small change to the forums to not show signatures in posts to guests viewing the forums.
I have done this for three reasons:
1) The forums are slightly faster for Google and guests.
2) We save on bandwidth and server resources.
(Both the above actions give only a very minor advantage, but it all adds up.)
3) Signature spammers are defeated at a stroke because Google won't see the links they include.
Assured Advertisers' signatures are unaffected and are displayed as they have always been.
Tonight I was amongst an exclusive group of people invited to view a demonstration of XenForo software.
It has been developed by the key ex-developers of vBulletin software and it is very impressive.
Brand spanking new and using the very latest coding techniques, I hope when people get to see it, they will be as excited as me. XenForo™
A growing list of interesting features is here.
It will be some time before we upgrade to the software because it's not available just yet, and it will take a while before all the specialised extra features we need (like iTrader) are created for it.
But if you want to get a 'sneak peek' of where AVForums is going, you can take a look.
I have commissioned a new design for AVForums and wanted to keep you aprised of the progress.
The existing look of the site is based on the original vBulletin design, which is several years old and looks dated compared to modern websites.
The look of a website has a large effect on how new visitors regard it. AVForums is about AV technology, usually at the cutting edge of consumer electronics and should have a design which projects that.
At the same time our long term members like the existing feel of the website and will likely not want things to change too much.
I feel it's important that we are open and transparent in how we are shaping the future of AVForums and that everyone in the community has some input into how it develops. Hence this thread.
I am hoping that our wider community will appreciate why we need to update AVForums and support us in this endeavour. I have previously invited suggestions on what design ideas people have preferred for AVForums and that feedback has been useful. Thanks to all who contributed.
To answer what I anticipate will be the most frequently asked questions, at this point in time:
The current fixed and variable width styles will remain available to use.
