If you're a regular at the G-Lab then you're probably aware that we've been publishing witty, original, and informative product reviews on the site almost everyday for the last two years. But all of a sudden starting this week, the reviews have kinda sorta gone AWOL from the site. Where did they go? Swallowed by the Montauk Monster? Secreted away by Bigfoot? Oh no. We've got a much more rational explanation.
I'll let you in on a little secret, for the past year the G-Lab and Wired's web development team have been toiling away at something very special: a separate website dedicated to product reviews — everything from the short form to the long winded. The site, which was soft launched yesterday, will still have the same smart, irreverent Wired voice, accompanied by hard nosed testing, and beautiful (home brewed) photography of the freshest, most delicious gadgets and gear imaginable long before they've hit store shelves.
So go ahead and slap this link into your bookmarks, favorite places, and RSS feeds: stag4.wired.com/reviews. Check it out and tell us what you think. Remember this is a beta version, we're still making improvements, so be gentle.
In the meantime, we'll be still be publishing the links to the daily reviews on the G-Lab. Today we're having a look at three 40-inch HD televisions that we put through our testing ringer. Hint: be wary of flashy bezels; they often conceal podunk performance.
