Customer Review: Same cable...low cost
I bought this cable for a quality picture and of course it does just that...the hdmi to hdmi cables are priced at nearly $50.00 for 6 ft. and $60.00 for a 12ft. cable at most retail stores....I was not willing to spend such a high price so when I ordered this from Amazon it cost me under 10 bucks for the exact same thing and the shipping was very quick even during the holiday season...same high quality cable that didn't cost much and saved me time.
Customer Review: Good Buys
This is going to be short but sweet. These generic HDMI cables are exponentially cheaper and work just as well as the $100+ Playstation name brand. Save your money!

It's been said that good things come in small packages. The Flip Mino proves that this is in fact the case, packing a lot of video power into a camera that's small enough to fit in your pocket. This camera just about does it all, and keeps it all wrapped up in an easily portable package. Everything that you'll need to have a great video experience is already onboard, letting you go from filming to editing and even to transferring onto a PC or uploading to video sharing sites.

The Flip Mino is a cute little camera with a streamlined look. Beneath that sleek exterior, however, lies the heart of a powerful video device. You can record up to 60 minutes of video onto the camera, and the Mino features built-in software that will let you edit your recordings without even having to transfer the video onto a computer. Add music of your choosing to your films, or take screenshots of particularly memorable moments so that you can have photos to go along with your video. You can even organize your videos in separate folders or just use the built-in date stamp to keep track of when they were created. All of your organization and editing takes place via the touch sensitive buttons located on the back of the device.

After you've captured the moment and edited it to your satisfaction you can easily transfer your video files onto your PC or upload them to the streaming video site of your choice. Instead of having to carry around a USB cable, though, the Flip Mino features a flip-out USB arm so that you can plug the camera itself directly in to your computer. Uploading your videos to popular video sites or sending them as email attachments can be done automatically by the Mino as well; all that it takes is the push of a button and your videos will be instantly uploaded.

It's rare that you'll find a camera this small that has so much to offer. From its 2 Gb of flash memory to its rechargeable battery, you'll find only the finest components in the Flip Mino. It truly was designed with ease of use and convenience in mind, and you'll be amazed each time you manage to capture great quality video with a camera that barely weighs three ounces.

Customer Review: Does this have audio outputs that can be connected to a receiver?
I just want to point out that neither this web page nor the manufacturer's web site specify that this has any outputs that can be connected to an external sound system. They need to clarify that because without audio outputs the machine becomes much less attractive. I expect that it does have them but the omission raises the possibility. .

The answer is yes, it will output audio from the built in Blu-ray player. However, because it has optical and analog outputs only which output Dolby Digital, DTS, or two channel analog, it will not send next generation Blu-ray audio to an AVR. These include high-bit rate Dolby True HD, DTS HD, etc. I know this because I own the 32" version and the two TVs share similar outputs. This may be limitation to folks who want the latest audio from their Blu-ray player. In that case they should opt for an external player and connect their system as you so smartly suggest.

Samsung has in the past few decades has propelled itself to become one of the most prominent electronic brands in the world, giving giants like Sony and Panasonic a run for their money. In recent years, Samsung has carved itself a niche in the LCD display market. Mention the word LCD TV and Samsung immediately comes to mind. Due to its cutting edge LCD HDTVS and its excellent track record when it comes to service and repairs, Samsung today undoubted holds the reign in the LCD TV market.

The LNB8000 and the LNB700 series are some of the latest Samsung LCD TVs released in 2009. All the models in both of these series features internet connectivity, anti-glare display surfaces and LED back-lights. The LNB8000 has a 240Hz refresher rate while the LNB7000 has a lower, 120Hz refresher rate.

Then we have the environmentally friendly LNB6000 series. All the models in the LNB6000 series uses 40% less energy than many other models in its class (based on statements released by the manufacturer). There is also the Series 4 models that are designed for the budget conscious customer. The Series 4 series are relatively cheap but yet comes with an impressive range of features the best value for your money.

Of course we have the popular Series 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 Samsung LCD TVs that are currently the best selling LCD TVs in the market. The higher the series the faster the response time are. These models come in a variety of colors and have a more modern and sleek design. The more expensive models have more outputs and connectors. The Samsung LN52A650 52-inch LCD TV and Samsung LN46A650 46-inch are examples of some of the most popular models in the market today.

LG 19LG30 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

Like all LG products the LG30 series is as aesthetically stylish as tit is technologically advanced. Slim, sleek and sophisticated - the LG30 series will enhance your sense of style.
Customer Review: Tuner Trouble
This LCD HDTV is a good size and the speakers aren't bad at all. The only issue I have with 19LG30, and it may be on all LG TVs, is that the four tuners do not integrate with eachother. 19LG30 has NTSC, ATSC and QAM (plus an broadcast tuner) but they are all given their own seperate folder that will not allow you to integrate them when scrolling through channels. Put more simply, if you press up (on the remote) and are on channel 5 (5-0, standard def.) with the CATV tuner, you cannot go to the HD channel 5-1 (which LG puts in the CADTV tuner folder) you will go to the next in-line standard definition channel, ie. 6. One needs to press 5 again on the remote to go to 5-1 or 5-2 etc. Once in the HD folder or CADTV, pressing up will only scroll through that folder channels. So if you want to go from channel 7.1 (HD channel) to channel 8 (SD channel) you cannot logically and simply press up on the remote: you must press 8, wait for the delay, and the TV then switches to the CATV folder of channels. Bollocks! This "set-up" is totally frustrating if you are using this TV without a cable box, which is kind of the idea for a 19" TV, and typically scroll channels using up and down on a remote. I am not sure if this will be an issue after 17 February however, as there is a seperate folder labeled DTV in the channel menu (which remains empty after auto-tuning). If DTV integrates all the channels (once it is online) than this is a dead isssue and this is a 5 star TV. Otherwise why LG do you have such a poor operating system that can't enable/integrate the different tuners? Samsung and Sony integrate the tuners into one folder/line-up.
Customer Review: Good TV
The TV offers a nice contrast ratio, for a small package. It has built in settings for like game, movie and sports. Most in this size don't offer that. It also has for its speakers, the settings offers different sound settings. Standard (which is the default) sounds like a tin can. But if you change it, it sounds nice. So I can not recommend the default sound.


With summer warmth still lingering in the air (at least in the afternoons here in the Northeastern US), it's hard to turn your mind to Christmas, but in reality it's only two months away. Yikes! I'm not a terrible procrastinator, but every year, I somehow convince myself that Christmas is far off, and end up spending the last two weeks before the holiday in a manic shopping frenzy. This year will be different. I will start early, and I will find the perfect gift for everyone!

Since I adore everything pink (electronics in particular) and I know a lot of you do too, I thought I'd share some of my perfect pink discoveries (ordered from least to most expensive) with you.

Tea rose colored and nostalgia-inducing, the Princess Phone by Crosley is small, classy and indisputably feminine. Originally introduced in 1959, it has been updated with modern technology (push buttons, flash/redial and volume control) but has thankfully kept its looks. It's corded, which is a good thing - recent research suggests that cordless home phones expose you to dangerous levels (100 times more than cell phones) of electromagnetic radiation.

Sony's bubble gum colored portable DVD player DVP-FX820/P is great for watching movies on the go. While not the most imaginatively named, is does have a lot of terrific features such as an incredibly clear, crisp 8" HD swivel screen with 800x480 resolution, an external (but fits like an internal) battery which lasts up to 6 hours (tip: turning the LCD brightness level down extends the battery life), two headphone jacks, remote control and a car adapter.

The totally adorable metallic champagne pink Nikon CoolpixS60 is a digital camera which is not only a joy to look at, it's loaded with great features: 10 megapixels (meaning flawless, sharp prints up to 16x20), a 3.5" touch panel which lets you focus on a specific subject just by touching it on the screen, face-recognition, which finds the face(s) in a picture even in low light or when they're moving around, 3 different anti-blur modes, automatic red eye removal, 17 different modes including the more unusual "food", "party" and "museum" settings, and it weighs only 5.1 oz.

The iPod touch is a marvelous sleek "toy" with some terrific features: a phenomenal music player, video playback, a Safari Web browser, photo viewer, an e-mail reader and lots of other components such as weather, calendar, maps, and stocks. How about taking that toy one step further and adding some gold to it? That's precisely what Continental Mobiles, an online British luxury shop, has done. They offer the iPod touch (as well as several other iPod models) encased in 18k rose gold, adding even more sophistication to an already uber-posh gadget.

With the look of a designer handbag, Ego laptops are without a doubt the most stylish and chic notebooks I have ever seen. Made by Ego Lifestyle in the Netherlands, these gorgeous computers come in a variety of designs (check out the pale pink Destiny or the cerise Flamingo), but if you don't see anything you like, they can customize them for you. Ego's laptops are currently available in the US from Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC and Avant Gallery in Miami Beach, and in the UK at Selfridges and Harrods in London and at Gassan Diamonds at Heathrow Airport.

I hope I have given you a bit of inspiration for finding the perfect gifts for your family and friends. Remember, it's never too early to start shopping for the holidays!

Antennas Direct "The Lacrosse" Amplified HDTV Antenna

Marketing description is not available.
Customer Review: HD ANTENNA
It works great. Maybe over-kill on SIZE and Money. I tried a $50 ,shoe box size unit that worked as well,from Home Depot. This was a fair weather comparison, and I have a clear line of sight to broadcast antenna. As I said it works great in all weather and it is big.
Customer Review: Worth the Money
Simple setup, even the mounting process is easy. I unpackaged it, set it on the floor and picked up 20+ digital channels on my first scan using the TV's built in tuner (yes, the tuner matters). Once mounted on my roof I picked up broadcast stations about 55 miles away, with over 30 total channels received (some duplicate). I live on the fringe of the 40 mile 'limit' of this antenna, about 38.5 miles from the HDTV broadcast towers. I bought an indoor TV Tuner device that used its body as a antenna and received zero channels. The only possible advantage is that I live at altitude, about 1000' higher than the nearest city with a pretty good line of sight (35+ miles) to the HD broadcast towers. I used common RG-6 cable I had laying around and have no regrets about the HD signal quality, it is noticeably better than my satellite provider's HD signal on a 720p TV. Easy to mount. Mounted to my roof with J-mount hardware and some extra lag bolts to secure it against strong winds. Second night we had 40+mph sustained winds and it was fine. Ran the direct line to a 4 way splitter and dropped some channels. Despite the internal amplifier, I plan to add a powered signal booster to see if I can recover those channels (and maybe pick up more).


Many people, especially those with satellite TV receivers, have heard of MPEG. MPEG is a standard for reducing the size of the video signal so that it can be broadcast more easily. This is known as "signal compression". Compressed Digital Video (CDV) is comparable to using MP3 files for music. It makes the file smaller without damaging it, so that it takes less time to download (less bandwidth), and more songs can be stored on your player.

CDV reduces the signal bandwidth requirements of a TV signal to enable its transmission via the Internet, DVD, cable, or satellite. This is necessary because an uncompressed video signal is very large. High definition files are much larger than standard definition files.

  • A standard definition DVD movie file size is approximately 3 GB/Hour.
  • An uncompressed 1280 X 720 (HDTV) movie file size is over 150 GB/Hour.
  • An uncompressed 1920 X 1080 (HDTV) movie file size is over 350 GB/Hour.
  • An MPEG-2 (CDV) HDTV movie file size is approximately 9 GB/Hour.
  • An MPEG-4 (CDV) HDTV movie file size is approximately 5 GB/Hour.

The early use of CDV (for standard definition programming) was pioneered by the satellite TV companies, DirecTV and the Dish Network.

CDV is the process of discarding data for that information that would be invisible to the viewer. However, too much CDV will significantly distort the output. The higher the level of CDV, the more data that is discarded. Discard too much, and the distortion is very noticeable.

CDV is a tradeoff between file size and video quality. CDV operates on pixel neighborhoods, called a macroblock. The CDV records only the changes within those blocks. This works well if the video is primarily static images like text.

In a basketball game, when Kobe takes it to the basket, more pixels change from one frame to the next. When this happens, the video compression algorithm must work harder. The picture quality after compression depends on the complexity and predictability of the image.

The most common CDV standards are authored by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). Applying CDV to video is an intensive computer operation, but uncompressing (undoing the CDV) MPEG data to video is much less difficult. A C-Cube real-time MPEG-1 video encoder using 8 custom-designed video processor chips sells for $120,000.

MPEG standards are not owned by anyone. Various companies and researchers have MPEG patents, but one does not have to pay a license fee to use MPEG technology.

DVD and Blu-ray discs have CDV used during the mastering process (Blu-ray has enough disc capacity that the CDV is not aggressive, thus does not add significant distortion). High bitrate video algorithms with little CDV exist for video post-production work, but these still create an enormous file, and for this reason are seldom used for the distribution of video.

There are several MPEG standards being used but only three are in general use for commercial video distribution:

MPEG-1

MPEG-1 was the first widely used video (and audio) CDV standard. MP3 is an abbreviation of "MPEG-1 audio layer 3". MPEG-1 supports a video resolution of 352 x 240 at 30 FPS (frames per second). It is the standard for the CDV of moving pictures (and audio). This standard has roots in CD-ROM video applications, and is a popular for video found on the Internet (.mpg files).

MPEG-2

MPEG-2 can support video resolutions of 720 x 480 and 1280 x 720, at 60 FPS. MPEG-2 is capable for both standard definition TV and HDTV. The MPEG-2 standards is also used to store data on a DVD. This is the algorithm used by DirecTV and the Dish Network.

MPEG-2 is the standard on which Digital Television set top boxes and DVD CDV is based. It is based on MPEG-1, but modified for use by digital broadcast television. Different algorithms have been developed and have been integrated into the standard. MPEG-2 is well suited to HDTV resolution and bit rates. With this technique, CDV can compress video data by 15 to 25 times while still producing a picture quality that is generally considered high quality.

MPEG-4

This standard is the future CDV standard that will almost certainly be used by most services delivering HDTV. This includes AT&T, DirecTV, and the Dish Network. A number of cable operators have also started MPEG-4 trials. This standard was originally designed for the Internet. Individual objects within a scene are tracked separately. This is very efficient.

The move to MPEG-4 by the satellite companies is not designed to improve picture quality, but because this algorithm is much more efficient. An MPEG-2 HDTV channel utilizes the bandwidth of six standard definition TV channels; an MPEG-4 HDTV channel would only consume the bandwidth of three standard definition TV channels. MPEG-4 uses half the bandwidth of MPEG-2, and so your service provider will be able to offer twice the number of channels.

OpenCable Application Platform (OCAP)

Consumers are now able to purchase their own cable box/DVR combos from electronics retailers. OCAP is a way for cable operators and other service providers to deploy interactive services like a PC. This will enable your American Idol voter to cast their vote with the remote control for their TV.

Consumers want their HDTV, and service providers who can supply the programming will thrive. MPEG-4 is the best and most cost-efficient option for cable operators and other service providers.

Customer Review: Don't pay the "monster" prices!
Take the money you save and upgrade the Blue Ray. These cables fully support 1080p, period. Excellent, no... SUPERIOR BUY!!!
Customer Review: Yep is "cheap", some problems
I went for the cheap cable, and it is. For the price it gets the job done but for a few dollars more, get a slightly better cable. Make sure you're getting 1.3b type cables. I am using this with my PS3 connected to a Samsung 52" 650 model TV. I notice little white specks randomly bouncing around the screen ALL THE TIME. The pixels are small so its not super obvious unless you look. Basically this is an artifact from random digital bits being corrupted/dropped. So, while it works. I wish I would have spent a few more bucks and got a better cable.


You might be shocked to find out that quality HDTV is now very inexpensive. Unlike your friends who bought those giant projection TVs that have a fuzzy picture and used to invite everyone over for the game in the early part of the new millennium, your wait was worth it. How many of these monstrosities have you seen on Craigslist? Some people just want to give them away. Waiting for inexpensive HDTV was certainly worth it.

Whether you need an inexpensive HDTV for the living room, one for the bedroom, or even one for the bathroom, shopping online for HDTV is really the way to go. Not only can you view lots and lots of models, but getting it to your home is no problem. You don't need to borrow a friend's truck, or beg a neighbor to bring you to the store with their SUV. As inexpensive as HDTV might seem in your common brick-and-mortar stores, online LCD HDTV is even more inexpensive because online retailers don't have to pay for the overhead of a physical location. Why get dressed up to go out and shop when you can shop online in your pajamas. The coffee at home is lot cheaper, too.

What was considered to be inexpensive HDTV prices of last year are now expensive. Believe it or not, it is true. For example, a high-quality television that would have cost $1000 last year is now available for $500, or even less. Your wait was certainly worth it. You could probably outfit your entire home with various sizes of inexpensive HDTV devices for much less than you think. Your friends who switched from their giant projection television to a $5000 plasma 5 years ago won't believe that you were able to purchase a far better HDTV for the inexpensive price of roughly $500. It really is amazing, the superb quality you can now get for such an inexpensive price. Click here to see some inexpensive HDTV options.

Customer Review: Absolutely Beautiful
First off, somebody else wrote about a "jet engine" noise, and I have no idea what that's about. My machine is as quiet as it was before. This card is absolutely beautiful. It does everything it's advertised to do and more. It's quiet, fast, and has decent VRAM. Every problem I had with my old card is solved now. I am impressed beyond words. My Valve games (like Half-Life 2) look great and I get absolutely no lag. I did a stress test in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, which uses Valve's "High Dynamic Range Rendering" technology, which is a whole new level of lighting control and graphics attached to their Source engine, and maxed out the graphics. I achieved 60 frames per second. I was in awe. Also while playing some of my other first-person shooters, like Call of Duty: World at War, I was able see things I never noticed before using my old setup, like heat-ripples from gunfire! Even older games like the first Half-Life look great. Even X-Plane likes this card, and X-Plane is hard to please sometimes. One of my favorite parts of this thing is the cable that plugs into a special S-Vid on the back and lets you output video in standard s-video, RCA, or PbPrY, which is great because I do a lot of video editing. nVidia does it again!
Customer Review: Great card for preformance lovers.
This is a great video card, especially for the price. You would find this card priced brand new at around 130-150 are local stores or anywhere else besides amazon. This card is pretty big, and is quite loud though. But to me performance is all that matters so its not really a inconvenience. Make sure you have adequate space in your case so your card fits. Its about 5 inches long I think. It also requires its own power source from the PSU. It comes with a Y Adapter power connector for that purpose. Uses a 6pin connector into the card and than it converts the 6 pin into a 4 pin molex. So you will also need 2 available 4 pin molex connectors with your PSU. You may need a fairly good power supply of at least 400w for enough power and to keep your system nice and cool, because this card generates lots of heat and uses a good amount of power. It also comes with the drivers on the installation disc, of course and lots of bonus material. Mainly just high definition Geforce wallpapers and some videos. For those who need a affordable high end card for gaming, or intense video editing this is the card to get. It runs at almost twice the performance of your Geforce 8600 series cards, so it would be cheaper to buy this and less power consumption than SLIing 2 8000 series cards. Another thing I like to add, I got the free 2 day shipping on this and got the card the very next day. Which was a super plus to get it a day ahead of schedule. So last though, if you want performance over anything else this card will not let you down.


Designing your viewing environment can affect your enjoyment of your home cinema as much as your choice of projector and screen. The best projector in the world will never be viewed at its best unless the home cinema viewing environment is also designed. Integrating curtains and blinds in to a mood lighting control system can ensure curtains close when required. Our lighting keypads contain ambient light sensors enabling us to close blinds if lighting levels are higher than optimum. In an ideal environment room lighting should be no more than 10% of the brightest white available through the display.

Back lighting the screen can reduce fatigue during extended viewing periods. It ensures dramatic changes in brightness between scenes do not tire the eye, causing fatigue. This back light should be closer to the blue end of the spectrum (normal incandescent lighting is too red and will therefore make skin tones appear washed out). Back lighting also helps the perception of blacks enabling screens which struggle to portray deep blacks.

Even elements such as colours in the room can impact how images are viewed - watching films against different coloured backdrops has a huge affect on colour perception and brightness. In general a neutral colour scheme should be displayed around the viewing area and should have a matt finish to minimise reflections.

Viewing angle also plays a huge part in viewing comfort, the fashion recently has been to mount LCD and Plasma displays above fireplaces, the viewing angle should be no more than %2B/- 15% - any more and fatigue will quickly set in. It is also worth bearing in mind that the further of axis the viewer strays the worse the picture may become - LCD screens in particular should be watched closely on axis whilst projectors and plasma displays are more forgiving.

Viewing distance is also important, our high definition installations allow the user to enjoy a great home cinema experience from about 3 times the height of the screen. As we install custom home cinema seating we can ensure viewing distance is correct and the screen is set to the correct height.

There is a new video format on the rise. A fair share of television owners these days will likely understand the difference between the 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, but for those of you who don't, it's the height versus width difference between your LCD or plasma television and the old tube televisions you had 10 years ago that was almost shaped like a box. So now that we've got you thinking in those terms, allow me to introduce to you the concept of Cinemascope, the newest format to hit the screens in a big way.

You may have noticed that watching movies on DVD or Blu-ray sometimes results in black bars on the top and bottom of your screen. That's because the films you are watching have been shot in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio (for reference, 16:9 is reduced to 1.78:1). To make a long story short, watching a 2.35:1 movie on a 16:9 screen results in about 33% of picture area lost in the form of black bars. To remedy this, some manufacturers are creating screens in the wider format as well as optics that will combine with your projector to produce pictures that wide.

The Appeal of Cinemascope

Also referred to as anamorphic video, Cinemascope allows viewers to watch movies the way the director intended them to be seen at the box office. Not only does cutting off the top and bottom black bars equate to greater resolution, but often times, you'll notice watching a wider and longer screen produces a sort of dramatization in the picture that simply is not matched by 16:9 video.

So how do you put this technology in your home?

How It All Comes Together

Outside of the obvious need for a projector, there are two items that are required to produce the anamorphic picture: a super-wide screen and an anamorphic lens with its respective lens adapter kit. The lens adapter kit will attach to your projector and is motorized, so when you want to watch movies in Cinemascope, the motor will swing the lens into place, and when you are watching normal television, the lens will be off to the side and out of the way. There are a small number of different lens and lens adapter kits out there, so you will want to make sure you pick up one that will work with your specific model projector.

The future of Cinemascope will likely be every bit as bright or brighter than its past, which started all the way back in 1953 with the release of The Robe. Once you begin to look for it, you'll find that a very large portion of your favorite films are distributed in this format. If you have any further questions regarding this emerging technology, do not hesitate to give us at Digitech a call.

TruSurround XT audio also adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
  • Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
  • TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
  • The SRS WOW feature widens the sound stage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Stereo broadcast reception is offered for MTS and SAP with 181-channel capacity. A sound leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Customer Review: I threw it off my 8th floor balcony and it still works!!!
This thing is like a piece of iron.... but its a machine made of chips and plastic I think
Customer Review: Time to buy!
Between the recession and the introduction of the 240Hz LCD TV's, the price for this big beauty is down nicely. We watch movies, Hi-Def cable shows and kid shows in my family, mostly, and this TV does a fantastic job with each. If your focus isn't on sports, this is an excellent television and a very good deal right now. If you haven't bought a TV in a few years, or this is a step up, be warned! there are a lot of options and features to work with. It is worth your time to learn them, but it does take a little time. If you routinely upgrade your computers or cell phone every couple years, you'll be fine. If you don't, be prepared to spend some time learning what this beast of a TV can do for you. I recommend it and would buy it again.


Once again Sony has come out with yet another top High-definition TV, the KDL32V4000 model. This Sony Bravia model is one of the best mid priced lcd televisions on market currently. It offers the high performance Bravia Engine to guarantee vivid and high contrast images. Its complex noise reduction process enhances low contrast images until they are crisp, realistic, and rich. Dolby Virtual Surround Sound and 20 watts of power guarantee an involving listening experience, which will put you in the middle of the action.

This fantastic looking LCD TV is part of the popular Sony 32" range. As always an electronic piece of equipment from such a well known and trustworthy brand name is always going to deliver to the highest degree possible. Sony offers the most impressive and sought after performances when it comes to HD ready flat panel TVs, there's no other brand name, like the Sony brand.

Coloured TVs are in, and so if the basic black on offer doesn't suit you then the KDL32V4000 is also available in a choice of red or white. Colour options aside, however, the V series is cosmetically identical to the W series we've seen previously. This means you get a glossy finish, with a - to our eyes at least - strange-looking perspex hole at the bottom. It looks kind of like a shower screen, but the only thing you can see behind it is the skinny stand and maybe a couple of cords.

After sticking with the same remote control design for at least the last three years, it was refreshing to see that the company has decided on a new model with this range. The KDL32V4000U simpler than previous models, with big, friendly number buttons, but some functionality is lost. Especially now that most functions require use of the new "Home" button to access.

View your flat screen from an 178 viewing angle, and enjoy less distortion and light reflection than you would with curved-screen TVs. Bravia engine image technology is accompanied by a 30,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for a vibrant viewing experience, while a BBE sound system delivers the sounds of the cinema to your living room. The KDL32V4000 possesses an in-built Digital TV receiver which provides you with up to 48 extra Freeview channels and digital radio stations.

The Sony KDL32V4000 LCD TV is HD ready; simply connect it to an HD source via one of the 3 HDMI ports enjoy stunning High Definition. There are also additional component, PC and 2 scart inputs for you to hook up your external devices. Overall, the KDL32V4000 32" LCD TV from Sony is an impressive, feature-packed TV that delivers gorgeous pictures every time.

Customer Review: Nice set for small area, sound a bit lacking
This is a nice set for a small area, such as a kitchen or bath, or small bedroom. Picture appears excellent, depending on the source channel. It auto-tuned all of the analog & digital channels from Comcast, and filtered out the scrambled (premium) channels. The set displays guide information (channel name, program) for many of the digital channels, but not the analog channels. The included stand can be rotated to 90 degrees and used as a wall mount, or a standard VESA mount (separately purchased) may be used. Changes channels quite fast. The biggest annoyance is the relatively tinny sound, followed by the 9-10 second power-on time. There's a fair bit of tweaking room on the sound menu, but the low end isn't quite as full as one would like for a set listened to from a distance. The sound weakness was the main factor in dropping my rating to 4 stars. There aren't many options for a small *white* television set. I might have considered Sharp but their 19-inch white set has been discontinued. All in all, it's a decent set with a few shortcomings.


For almost twenty years, the perfect ebook reading hardware has been 5 years away. We're now down to waiting for a cheap enough, lower power enough paper-quality display with long battery life.

Once we have cheap and affordable ebooks, the medium by which we read will also be the medium by which can write and respond. Reading will cease being a solitary act and will become a social one eventually. You can see this already with blogs and the online likes.

So, I have been assuming that the ebook reader will mimic the form factor of books: display a page, and maybe make a rustling sound as the page is turned slowly. But it is taking so long for ebooks to arrive for the market that they may skip book emulation entirely and become general purpose browsers/composers. In which case, they will work better for blogs than for books.

In my opinion, format matters a whole bunch more than medium. In the physical world, format (e.g. hardcover, small-print soft-cover, magazine, etc.) gives a whole bunch of cues about the type and depth of the content. Photos placed in the right spots attract our attention immediately. The formats also tell us a lot about age appropriateness. I personally do not see ebooks catching on until they really have a format to them. Maybe that makes a bunch of different ebook reader niches rather than an e-book monolith. Who knows.

I think for ebooks to become ubiquitous, the content prices must become reasonable (and currently they are not). RCA ebook readers ahve been around for years, but I still do not see people using them on the trains, buses and airplanes. On the other hand, every one of my friend of mine has one or two of those. Why? Well, that is because we all read Russian. And Russian ebooks are dirt cheap in the first place (if not free).

So, yes, in that sense I do hope ebooks jump directly to supporting blog-like content, otherwise we might wait another twenty years before the perfect ebook hardware emerges and gain mass adoption.

Customer Review: Great little TV for the money!
I compared the picture quality of the Toshiba 19AV600U side by side with Samsung (at our local Best Buy) after tweaking both to their maximum quality and the Toshiba had truer colors with accurate flesh tones, probably due to the 10 bit color. The sound was also much better (and louder) than other TV's of the same size. If you can live without the headphone jack, then this will be a great choice, especially for a small bedroom or kitchen. One more thing that impressed me and my daughter was how the TV cleaned up the standard analog cable channels, apparently due to the noise reduction feature, which we put on high. Some of the channels even look as good as digital or HD. The 19AV600U also has (2) HDMI jacks and is a great looking little TV even when it's off. We mostly buy SONY but was settling for Samsung (since Sony is not that impressive in this size range) until I ran across this little jewel.
Customer Review: Great little TV
Great little TV. Questions about set-up were answered rapidly by customer service and very understandable.


The Vizio 37" LCD HDTV VX37L and the Sharp Aquos LC-C3742U are both high definition LCD TV's that were originally released with similar price tags (I believe the Sharp was a little more expensive at time of release). The VX37L follows on from Vizio's successful L37 model.

I am excited to compare these TV televisions as they are often the two models that consumers are looking at and can't decide upon.

Sharp Aquos LC-C3742U
These TV's were sold at CostCo TVs and may still be available there, or elsewhere online. Whilst this TV displays very good HDTV quality images, there is no way to actually adjust the screen size for HD signals. The sound is also not the best out of the box.

Vizio 37" LCD HDTV VX37L
This TV is excellent value for money even compared with the Sharp, its bigger named competitor. If your main aim is to watch HDTV movies and play current game consoles then you won't be disappointed by the crystal clear display. The sound out of the box is also considerably better than the Sharp.

I extensively search for real customer reviews for all televisions as I believe it is simply the best way to gauge raw consumer opinion. Consumer opinion for the VX37L has been extremely positive even thought it has now been superseded by new models. It just goes to show that a good TV never goes out of fashion.

Based on my own experience and customer reviews from all around the internet I can not recommend the Sharp Aquos LC-C3742U over the Vizio 37" LCD HDTV VX37L, despite its few good points. The Vizio just stands out too much and as far as value for money goes, can not be beaten.

Is the Vizio 37" LCD HDTV not big enough for you?

An excellent TV. However some of the features (like internet access) is not very useful.
Customer Review: Excellent Purchase
The Sony Bravia was delivered and hooked up very professionally. The TV is excellent and I am very pleased with the entire process from purchase to delivery.


Think about it. The smaller the watch the more it costs! The smaller the watch, the smaller the spare parts! The smaller the spare parts the more difficult it is to see the interior workings and to repair or replace them. But how do watchmakers take a look at the interior working of delicate high precision time pieces without completely wreaking their eyesight? With the help of individual magnification systems called as eye loupes.

It stands to reason that watchmakers need a magnification device to check the interior workings of watches. Each watch has numerous gears and cogs that all cohesively work together to show time. Even a slight bend in one of the cogs and wheels irreparably damages the watch requiring brand new spare parts. But a watch maker has to be able to see the cogs and wheels and find out exactly where the defect is and watchmaker's loupes do the job just fine. Each watchmaker loupe acts as a single microscope screwed in to the watchmaker's eye. The watch maker can hold the watch with one hand while squinting into the interior of the watch with the other eye. These allow for hands free viewing while still magnifying the object so that details can be viewed comfortably in your field of vision. There are several different designs in the loupe structure. Watchmakers may prefer a single magnification of 5X by which ordinary details become visible. These are called as single lens loupes as they are made from a single lens in the casing. They are extremely well suited for watchmakers, as they don't require any devices for color correction. These single magnification loupes are the first ones used by every watchmaker to pick out large details. They are also cheaper to buy and readily available as they are commonly used in the jewelry industry as well. One very good example of this variety is the Bergeon 2611 Watchmakers Screw Rimmed Eyeglass and the Bergeon 4422 Watchmakers Economy Eyeglass.

Double magnification loupes are also present. Bausch and Lomb make a great one which gives double the magnification but with a single lens which is fixed in position. The other lens is movable and that makes it easier to focus the lens and create a deeper and much more detailed picture. The second lens can be attached to the single lens system as there is a bezel provided with both. All you have to do is focus the two lenses for a much more detailed picture of the interior of the watch. More intricate and high quality time pieces may require triple magnification provided with Hastings lenses. Hastings Triplet lens are specialty lenses especially engineered to accurately provide magnification while still eliminating the color distortion that occurs in ordinary loupes. A few good examples of these are the Basic Tripple 5x, 10x and 15x Watchmakers Lens and the ARC Form Tri-Lens Loupe 10/15/20x.

These light weight and easy to use loupes are just the thing that watchmakers need to repair high quality time pieces.

Customer Review: Samsung LCD
Great tv for the price. No need to buy a mount as the tv's platform swivels for easy wall mounting. Great tv for a bedroom.
Customer Review: Excellent TV
I think this TV was a great buy for my bedroom. I do not see the halo that someone described. I also can go into the menu and bring up the sleep timer using my remote and I don't find that difficult at all. I was not aware about the base being able to mount to the wall and so that was a nice "Freebee!" The base mounted very nicely to the enclosed brackets and so I have a TV that can be used in the bedroom and I can carry to another room if necessary very easily. As for the picture and sound. Both are just fine and I had no problem navigating the settings putting the picture size, sound equilizer and quality to my preferences. The TV auto programed very nicely and there were no channels that I needed to adjust. I do have cable FYI. I have two other LCD's also and I have no problems with this TV. Good Luck!

LG 42LH40 42-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Gloss Black

The LH40 series is a Full 1080p LCD HDTV series featuring a TruMotion 120Hz panel and Intelligent Sensor technology along with LG's Core technologies. The LH40 series also features LG's Smart Energy Saving technology for higher energy conservation. Full HD performance, a robust feature set and energy savings make this series a standout.
Customer Review: Excellent TV for the price!
I originally bought the 42LH30, but the 40 went on sale a week later for the same price. Between the two televisions you can tell a huge difference in the quality. The LH30 had an excellent picture but the remote and the housing on the set seemed cheap. When the LH40 came up for the same price I returned it for the 120 hZ. When watching a movie on Blu Ray the picture is AMAZING! It almost borders on life-like. I would buy this TV even if it was $200 more just for the faster refresh rate and the fourth HDMI port. I also agree that the speakers are excellent for TV speakers, and the ease of setup. I had it out of the box and watching a movie within thirty minutes.
Customer Review: Great LCD, great picture, easy set up!
This LG product is a snap to set up; no configuration necessary. Once set up, you can adjust everything and anything with their super simple menus. The picture is perfect, especially with Blue Ray application. The up conversion from DVDs - to - regular TV reception is also extremely good. The sound is great (for TV speakers) - much better than my old Sony. This is also a new product from LG, so I was a bit hesitant to purchase without seeing any reviews. We were orginally going to buy a Samsung - but with all the benefits compared, this was a great buy! I would recommend the LG 42LH40 to anyone! Everyone who has seen this TV has complimented on its style and great picture!


One fundamental decision to make when deciding on a new high-definition TV is whether to go with plasma or LCD technology. They both offer big screens, spectacular viewing, and thin packages you can hang on a wall. There are some major differences, however, and more than a little misinformation.

True: Plasma TVs have deeper, richer blacks, and better contrast.

In general that is a true statement. But because plasma screens are made with highly reflective glass, plasmas tend to perform best in dark rooms with no bright light sources. If your TV viewing is mostly during the day or in an environment with lots of light sources you may end up disappointed with your plasma's performance. On the other hand, if you're buying your big-screen HDTV to watch movies in a darkened room then plasma would be an excellent choice.

Plasma have another technology limitation. As more of the screen lights up plasmas tend to go dimmer because of inherent power supply limitations. LCD TVs do not have that limitation. LCD screen materials are flatter in texture than plasmas and are lower in reflectivity. That makes LCD TV's better performers in moderately and brightly lit environments.

Myth: Plasma TVs have very short life spans

Newer plasma TV panels have an expected longevity of 60,000 hours to half half brightness. That means that you could leave your plasma TV on for seven years straight, 24 hours a day before it would lose half of the screen brightness that it had on day one. Although there was some validity to the short life claim in the very first plasma models to come to market this claim is no longer a valid reason pass on a plasma TV.

Half Myth: LCDs leave mouse trails all over the screen

Motion blur with LCD TVs is only a half myth have because it remains somewhat of a problem with some models. The term of art is "response time" or "vestigial blur". The very earliest LCD TVs left aggravating trails across the screen every time an on screen object moved. Plasma TV never had this problem. Newer LCD TV's like the Samsung 40 inch have a very fast response time, 5 ms, which is the time it takes for a pixel to go from black to white to black again. Consumer performance reviews for the Samsung, as well as many Sony models and other high end LCD TVs do not report motion blur as a problem that affects their enjoyment of movies or even sporting events where motion blur is most noticeable.

Myth: Plasmas need periodic gas recharge

This was never true. Plasma TVs never needed to be recharged with gas although more than a few extended warranties were sold because of this misconception.

True: Plasma TV is prone to screen burn

For decades people had to live with burned-in images of the CBS logo or a stock ticker across the bottom of the screen. Image retention was an unavoidable problem with cathode-ray televisions and although it's getting better, image retention or screen burn is still a problem today with plasma TV. A careful viewer could probably avoid screen burn with a plasma TV but it would take more than a little effort if you play games on the big-screen or if you watched CNBC with its scrolling stock ticker all day.

True: LCD TV washes out at moderate viewing angles.

If you're always going to view your HDTV at a straight-on angle than LCD angle washout is not much of a concern to you. If you are going to put your LCD TV in a narrow but wide room, however, you may want to think twice about LCD. The people sitting on the far ends of the couch may not be too happy about their viewing experience. Angle washout that disappears colors and contrast is less of a problem with plasma.
