Don’t know the difference between a plasma tweeter and a Walsh driver? Looking for the sweet spot? Would motion artifacts concern you more if you knew what they were?

Enter the new AV Glossary, created by syndicated consumer-electronics columnist Don Lindich. With more than 500 entries, the online dictionary defines the lingo you’re likely to come across when reading about or shopping for electronics.  It also contains techno-terms that are unique to a particular brand, such as Super SteadyShot. The best part is that all of the cross-referenced entries have the same breezy style and helpful tips that characterize Don’s Sound Advice column, which appears Mondays in the Star Tribune. He says the AV Glossary “will be devoted to consumers, not techies, and will be written in plain English as much as possible.”

The AV Glossary is very much a work in progress, having launched just this week. So when you check it out, be sure to send Don feedback on what you like and don’t like, along with any terms you think he should add.
