2. Toshiba 32CV100U 32-Inch 720p

The holidays will be more visually festive with a new Toshiba 32 Inch TV with DVD Player inside, USB, and a port for connecting up the hard drive. For a big set of Farmville (or Cityville or World of Warcraft). The family TV can be the family gaming console again without splitting the budget between devices. The black gloss finish really sells those who want a touch of tech in the family room and hate the silver finish modules.

Why look at the “tube” when you can enjoy your DVD movies with one device in 720p? Slot loading DVD plays recordable DVD format and CD discs as well.  This currently ships 2 days from Amazon. The matching TV mount is here. The USB jack means this Toshiba plays Mp3 tunes and black controls give gaming and action movies the kicker.

What’s is it? It looks like a set of binoculars some left in the dryer. But this $160 device plays up the playlist and makes it studio ready. Works with Pro Tools SE, an industry standard professional recording software capable of launching your shower warbling to a FaceBook ready hit. One quarter inch headphone output make any audio buds the right ones to hear playback while monitoring, reviewing the audio interface and mobile podcast recording.

They call this a mobile audio device, and everybody in the room will want to work it. But computer operators can work the Live Lite software and resample, mix and overplay to their heart’s content. Present your significant other with their favorite song remixed with your voice with effects. Create the ultimate kind of greeting in new voicemail answering messages, a chorus of your own voices.

Mac and PC compatible, so glass booths with keyboards no longer shut out the closet mixmaster in us all. the A/B source switch allows mobile DJ capacity with music recording in one. This device is a Youtube waiting to happen. Just ride the open road with your musical composition and plug in every guitar you meet for a recording compilation.

M-audio has been a name in portable audio for some time, and really makes the grade with an old-school 8-track stack look with 4 X 4 media playability and studio quality recording and mixing  results. The dual microphone and instrument  in-jacks and preamp and mixing settings mimic a better studio than the recipient has probably ever been in. From M-audio.com.

4. Shure SE315 headphones

The icky feeling of discovering your best pair of headphones just died may never happen again. Another name in desktop era mixmaster play, Shure makes the super headphones have a $200 price but can be repaired, unlike the 500 pairs you’ve run through since the Walkman was invented.

The noise canceling e portable audio from Shure is about the best in the industry. What’s the gimmick? The earbuds screw out of the wire connectors. So replace your wires, not the headphones and audio quality experience that mean so much. The best part about the price? These can be the late-night movie or gaming headphones for whoever in the house needs to slash and burn when the rest of the family is in bed.

5. IDEA Mp3 portable speaker

These are so James Bond. Buy them early, they go for $75 but the only ones I could find were on Ebay for twice that amount. The credit card Ipod size Mp3 sound speaker has a small footprint and a big sound, letting you bounce all weekend or from work to gym without sacrificing pet sounds, opera hall echoes or garage band effects.

Telepresence is the hot business model and if you are looking at a series of LCD TV units with more than home entertainment on your mind, you’re on the right track. Investing in video telephony for the home could have huge benefits and allow more commuting days form work just as a start.

The right video conferencing package complete with enabled LCD TV can save any businessperson or entrepreneur thousands of dollars a quarter, perhaps more.

Cisco and Panasonic are making telepresence kits ranging from $600 to $30,000.

How can an LCD TV with voice and telephony save you? The average entrepreneur spends hundreds of hours a year in airports, standing in line, sitting and waiting for flights, and eating poor food for the chance to make their case in front of the client. But by the time they’ve landed, depressurized, and spent a small fortune on cabs, hotels, dining and entertainment, business can be the farthest thing from their mind. And the fatigue from travel can wear people down and degrade quality of life.

Just recovery from business travel is exhausting. But with a qualified home LCD TV device telepresence can make you available anywhere you need to be without even one taxi ride to the boarding area. A 50-inch LCD for home office desktop or home entertainment room wall mounting can be the right theater for your business drivers. And mobile apps aren’t far behind. Think of picture in picture three way voice conferencing with video to save two parties the travel.

Imagine if you could save your health and cut your company’s bottom line in the travel budget by half or more. You might be the boss’s new best friend at work come budgeting time. And home businesses can save a fortune by investing in key technology that replaces one-shot business travel. Telepresence always is free and available via Skype and other programs. And the meeting can be rescheduled, interrupted and restarted, or completed with a follow up without endless travel arrangements to complicate the relationships. The flexibility of time management missing in one destination business travel just got transformed with telepresence (video conferencing).

Imagine getting an hour more sleep on those days when you need to be fresh and client ready. With a video conferencing setup at home, telepresence is an everyday convenience that afford global meeting privileges at the touch of a button. Instead of meeting face to face with top clients one a year, make it once a week. Suddenly you are the most accessible turnkey facilitator in your business network.

If you previously made one first class trip each quarter, roundtrip it might have cost at least $2,500. That’s an annual savings of at least $10,000, and more if you are the one who regularly can tap into the client’s office or outside key personnel for brainstorming. Being able to write off a home entertainment TV purchase for benefit of the work group as a business meeting can work if the client wants to get in one the game.

Paying for more kbps per month in your cable plan is a must. Video conferencing allows you to take a break and prepare your materials and begin another presentation when you are ready. A fixed good web camera, a codec box, and a web cam for the documents or subject material make up the requirements.

Check through those end of year LCD TV deals again. Look for high quality TV performance and best LCD TV acoustics review scores. A stationary camera allows freedom of movement and range of motion that smaller webcams don’t do justice to. The expression on your face and body language are visible to your audience. And an LCD TV just became a timesaver, family communication tool, and living room magic carpet in one.

Black Friday Surprises

Black Friday shopping attendance in 2010 enjoyed a robust participation, indicating a return to better economic times, many news sources reported. But smart Black Friday shoppers were looking more to get advantageous deals more deeply discounted than the already recessional product promotions currenlty available.

Retailers across the board touted Black Friday specials in email campaigns, television commercials, and print ads, reflecting a vibrant trickle-down effect to other vertical media channels. Savvy shoppers scanned prices, checking for better markdowns and discounts that electronics retailers were already releasing to the public.

Bundles of TV accessories or gaming electronics with newly enabled web and wi-fi televisions were early-shopper doorbusters at every retailer nationwide. With current promotions, Smart Santa elves should be cruising all the free gift cards and dependable retailer deals they can. Building points or loyalty cred by shopping now, and using the points or volume purchase totals for gifts in future can help save money. Surgical Black Friday deal shopping makes the purchase of a family big screen LCD TV pencil out better.

Ebay is still handing out coupons. Paypal has preferred vendors and occasional discounts and purchases bonuses. And retailers like Kohl’s and target are sending online searchers into a tizzy researching the deepest discounts and the latest deals. Many consumers are bookmarking their favorites and looking for package extras.

Mall parking was stretched to the limit by late Friday, after low temperatures kept the serious overcrowding at bay for Black Friday stores opening times. Early Christmas shoppers raided stores, some looking to capitalize on Black Friday advertised sales and some looking to get Christmas shopping done and out of the way when the best selection is available.

One California retailer features some amazing bargains on huge scale LCD TV deals. Fifty five inch Sony Bravia and forty six inch Sony Bravia 1080p edge LED for $1,998 and $1,498 could be the starting point. Then shopping at every other retailer and electronics vendor becomes a matching and price comparison exercise, versus a time-killing open ended nebula of confusion. If the consumer wants backlit LCD 3DHD TV then they can scan those ads only. Surgical scanning of the advertisements in the broadest parameters can then take place.

Dedicating a single email address for all these ads can be an appropriate way to consolidate ads for review. End of year retailers will be looking to make deals and cut their inventory before it ages out of the technology cutting edge. This the supply “glut” many experts contend still exist in LCD TV inventories nationwide.

Comparisons between Black Friday era deals can include bracket mounting, installation labor, home delivery, and warranty or exchange policy expansion leeway. Free sales tax, a free Blu-Ray player, a free electronic game console, stereo accessories, or a price break on a audio system component might meet your individual home theater needs.

This is a benefit of the big electronics stores retailers throwing huge sales and buying ad space in competitive flyer and insert sections. This type of national retailer will be featuring such deep discounts.The smaller stores and regional electronics and TV stores must meet these types of consumer expectations. they must also manage inventory pressures to move unit or forfeit floor space to new goods. The customers will spend elsewhere where legacy programs are in operation, and looking over ads can be a supportive aid for reviewing deals and prices.

And those consumers looking for the best possible deal on a new LCD TV can wait a little longer. Experts at CNNMoney.com say that prices will constrict further through the end of the year. “The average price for a 42-inch LCD TV is forecast to be $626 this quarter, but the price is expected to fall below $600 in the beginning of next year before rising again, according to NPD Group. Prices for 52-inch LCD TVs are expected to drop by $120 on average during the same time period.”
