What the Pros and Cons of buying a Phillips 50 inch LCD Flat Panel TV

The one negative I did see was that the 160 degree viewing angle is a little less than some other similarly priced models.

What is the best TV to game on

(1 year ago)

There are a few factors that play into this. The first thing to look for is how fast the TV will respond to games, obviously newer TVs will handle this better. LCD is your top choice for this because of the lack of blurred images and lack of burn in effects. Second thing to look for what kind of signal you want your game to run on S video has been standard for a long time but Component video and HD hookups have greatly changed how games are viewed. A TV with component video or HD hookup will look much better. Lastly regarding what type of TV to use LCD are crisp and bright but do not come in the larger sizes that rear projection TVs do, which also have good game handling. Depending on how big you want your TV to be My personal choice is between LCD and rear projection.

More expensive does not necessarily always mean better in terms of car seats. There are lists with their top 9 child car seats and the prices range from 50-300$. Price does not always mean better.

Do vertical DVD players make good images? It seems that gravity works against them.

Since they are designed to play dvds in the vertical position, image quality should not be different. The brand of player however could play a factor into this.

A Letdown.

3.0 Stars about Apple iPod Video Black (60 GB, MA147LL/A) Digital Media Player (1 year ago)
In terms of convenience the Apple iPod Video is a double edged sword. The crisp LCD screen is nice for watching video although specific formats are needed. The 60 GB hard drive also allows for plenty of music to be stored which is a plus. The iPod also has some limitations such as the needing of iTunes for loading music and that the music files are tag based as opposed to file based which would get rid of the annoying "songs out of order" problem that happens on occasion. The screen scratches easily the unit is bulky.

Good Enough.

4.0 Stars about Apple iPod nano Black (1 GB, MA352LL/A) MP3 Player (1 year ago)
The Apple Ipod nano, 1 gigabyte size, serves as the perfect mp3 player for the casual music listener. The small size and easy to navigate menu makes this player worth owning. The use of itunes helps organize your play lists and the nano even has some games to play like pong and music trivia for a bonus. Mp3 enthusiasts might not find this flashy enough but for someone who just wants to listen to music pick it up!

This phone Works.

4.0 Stars about Nokia 6030 Cellular Phone (1 year ago)
The Nokia 6030 is not flashy and is well suited for those who are not concerned about having the newest razor or phone/mp3/camera player..etc. This is a normal cell phone with good reception, speaker phone, and simple menu navigation, straight and to the point. Don't forget to lock your keys though because calling people accidentally can happen.

Fascinating Game

4.0 Stars about Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day for Game Boy Advance (1 year ago)
The concept of being able to improve your memory makes this game interesting already. Brain Age for the Nintendo DS puts the player through various tests measuring the user's "brain age". Whatever your score is, the game gives you an opportunity to record and improve your results through various math problems and counting games. The game inspires the player to keep playing and improve a feat that not many games can achieve given the subject matter.

A must Own!!!

5 Stars about Mario Kart for DS (1 year ago)
MarioKart has become a staple of Nintendo, and has always delivered a fun fast paced experience, each version with their own extras. The Nintendo DS version does not stray from the format which is a plus. The game features all new playable courses plus some old favorites from past versions which gives a nice nostalgia to the game. This is a fun game with high replay ability with an added bonus of playing others over a wi-fi connection. Another MarioKart classic.

Tread Carefully!

2.0 Stars about Kodak EasyShare C330 Digital Camera (1 year ago)
The Kodak EasyShare C330 was received as a Christmas gift and worked just fine through it's first set of batteries. The pictures were clear and the camera itself is easy to operate. The camera's downfall however is the incredibly slow shutter speed which makes action shots almost impossible, another issue is battery life. This camera sucks normal batteries at an alarming rate. I've gone through an 8 pack of batteries in a weekend so beware!

Matt's new TV

5 Stars about Toshiba 42HL67 Television (1 year ago)
Set up for the Toshiba Regza 42 inch was relatively easy. The stand proved the most difficult, with just trying to find an easy position for the TV while trying to attach it. The picture is not bad in SDTV but is outstanding in HDTV. The speakers are more than adequate without additional speakers. An added plus with Toshiba products is that the TV remote will work with Toshiba DVD players.

Save the Excitement for the Movie

3.0 Stars about Transformers for Nintendo Wii (1 year ago)
Unlike the summer blockbuster Transformers: The Movie, Transformers: The Game is not more than meets the eye. The Nintendo Wii version of this game looks good enough given the lackluster graphics compared to the Playstation 3 and XBOX 360. The story follows the movie verbatim with the player able to control the Autobots or Decepticons from fight sequence to fight sequence. The controls are decent, the enemies are somewhat intelligent but the game lacks excitement. It feels like moving from level to level repeating the same fight scene over and over again, with a chase thrown in the middle. Transformers the Game is a decent game but it just feels like the highlight is being able to transform your character.
