Starting an HD Column - Need Title Suggestions

I'm trying to put together a regular HD Column for the site, but am having trouble coming up with a good name for it. Possibilities include:

High Def Dreams
Digital Eye Candy
The Bleeding Edge
Video Nirvana

I'm not really in love with any of them. Thoughts or suggestions?

Something like:

Highly Defined - High Definition and You
HD - High Definition or High Demand
The HD Buzz
The Truth about HD
Beyond the Look of High Definition

Some of them sound kind of silly, but I quickly thought of them.

As for your titles, I'd probably enjoy High Def Dreams the most since it contains the HD title in it. Video Nirvana could be about anything video related while the other two could be about any digital video (The Bleeding Edge sounds like a music column).

I actually prefer something kind of simple. Mr. Chao's "HD Buzz" or "Highly Defined" would be somewhat ideal. I'll throw in a few other suggestions.

The HD Chronicle
HD Source
HD Digital Realm
High Def Alliance

Good luck on the column, Josh.

I know some people will be lost since it refers to another thread, but I laughed.

Actually, this one sounds the best to me, cheesy or not. I think you want to point out the superiority of HD.

The HD Club (HDC for short)
The HD Resolution (perhaps a bad play on words, but if you like it, go for it)

High Def Digest is taken.

High Def Weekly puts too much pressure on me to actually write a column every week.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Keep 'em coming.

I still think High Def Dreams is where I'm leaning at this point. Anyone have talent at graphic design and want to draw a logo?

Dontcha think that High Def Dreams is a bit too BD-centric? Maybe HD Realities or The Eyes and Ears of HD...or hmmm....

I think you got a winner with this one.

It's catchy and easy to remember.

Might want to add "DVD in there.

That title rhymes with/reminds me of Nice Dreams (Cheech & Chong)

Although it's simple, I like just Hi-Definition.
