Philips 42PFL9803H 42-inch LCD

The Philips 42PFL9803H 42-inch LCD and the remote control that comes with the tv matches the basic color of the TV, and it’s a slightly different colored , but it serves it’s purpose. The way the economy is these days for U.S companies, I’m just happy Philips is still around and plastic can save them money and can be quite durable as well.

The remote also has a rotating wheel that you can use it to select menu items.
The connectivity is great, and there are four HDMI inputs, and three on the back, with another one on the side. Video in is another feature, and it has  a VGA connection for your media center PC or Xbox 360, and  a pair of SCART sockets can hook up the older, standard definition equipment.

The Vizio 55 inch XVT HDTV has an HD Sound Bar and was created by SRS TruVolume,
with a subwoofer that is wireless. The SRS TruVolume  uses a 20 frequency control band which is something like the human hearing mechanism, and it monitors and adjust the audio signal level to make it sound more consistent and the volume won’t be irritating no matter what kind noise of fluctuations it receives by audio.

However, you just need to do is set the volume the way you like it and you can sit back and relax. The remote control’s volume buttons will be less frequently used from then on, for instance; if there is dead silence for about 5 min. and all of a sudden there is a big plane crash, it is suppose to adjust to the sounds so you wouldn’t have to run to the remote and do it yourself. The VIZIO 55″ XVT LCD HDTV and the HD Sound Bar will be out next January, the tv will cost $1,999.99 and the Sound Bar will cost $349.99, what a great deal. Vizio.com

Philips has launched its latest flatscreen effort, the Essence 42PES0001, and hopes that the TV-buying public will finally get on board with hanging their sets on the wall.

Quite why it’s so important to Philips that consumers put their new shiny pride and joy on the wall is a mystery… but the inclusion of a ’smart’ levelling bracket as well as making the TV a dainty 16kg hints at such.

Multifunction Keychain

The Multifunction Keychain with built in Universal remote is a great tool to have because, with the remote you can turn the volume up or down and change channels and shut the tv off entirely.  Playing pranks on friends has never been better, because you can actually come to their home during a party or you can do it while playing they won’t be able to figure out why and as they are standing there with their own remote trying to figure out what happened, you can reak havoc.

However; it could  also be used as a back up if you lose the main remote.  Especially if you have a sectional couch like mine, because the pieces separate and the remote usually slumps down between the pillows or the frame of the couch, so I’m constantly lifting, pulling all the pillows which makes me feel as if I am panning for Gold, when I’m only trying to watch television, it can be a nightmare. Basically the universal remote keychain would come in handy. It also has a flashlight. The  flashlight is also a bottle opener.  Have you ever gone to get your car fixed and something boring is on the TV and if their remote is broken, or missing why watch the owner suffer climbing in a chair just to get the station you wanted, you could just use this wonderful keychain, and for only $5.99 I think you get your money’s worth. To purchase this item just go to : www.sourcingmap.com

When you love, all else cease to exist. When you hear of the Keymat YALOS Diamond, the average geek thinks, “Diamond screen?” and promptly faints. The YALOS, however, has other plans. Sure, it’s a nice screen, but the real value lies in the plating of white gold and the encrusting of over 160 diamonds- four grams of the stuff, in toto.

At $130,000 the YALOS is the Vertu of the HDTV world- whether that’s a good thing usually depends on whether you can afford it.
