Monoprice.com - $20 off $100, code: JAN20
(repost)

Monoprice is offering $20 off of $100+ when using code JAN20 during checkout. Monoprice sells great quality cables at a fraction of the cost of retail stores. Their regular HDMI cables are just as good (if not better) than Monster and Belkin cables.

$100 is a large minimum purchase requirement, but could be a great deal for someone who needs to stock up on cables.

Monoprice orders will ship from California, so ground shipping can take as much as 5 business days to arrive to the east coast.

Sears.com - HDMI Cable for $2 in-store
6-foot HDMI cable for $2 with in-store pickup.

Sunday, December 21, 2014

Amazon.com - 10-foot Lightning Cable for Apple Devices $10.69 or $13.69
MFI-certified 10-foot Lightning USB Cable for Apple devices
- in Black for $10 plus $0.69 shipping ($10.69)
- in White for $13 plus $0.69 shipping ($13.69)
Lightning cables connect to newer Apple devices, including iPhone 5 and newer, iPad Mini, and iPad Air. It is hard to find 10-foot long Lightning cables, because almost no manufacturers make them. Apple does not even sell a Lightning cable over 6 feet in length. We purchased this ZeroLemon cable from this Amazon seller, and it works well. Ships with regular US Mail, and takes about a week to arrive.

If you need a really long cable, a 16.5-foot Lightning Cable is available for $19, which is the same price a 3-foot cable goes for at an Apple store.

BestBuy.com - Samsung 60-inch Plasma 1080p HDTV for $1500
Samsung 60-inch Plasma 1080p HDTV for $1500. This is Samsung's latest and last Plasma TV. This 8500-series Plasma was released in 2013, and will likely be the last Plasma sold by Samsung. This is a discontinued model, and once BestBuy's inventory sells out, it could be difficult to find them again.

This Samsung PN60F8500 has very positive reviews, weighs 90 pounds, includes 4 pairs of 3D active glasses, and uses a Plasma display instead of an LCD. Manufacturers are phasing out their plasma screens because they are expensive to build, while LED-LCD TVs are becomming much cheaper. The future of TV is OLED, however it will be at least a few more years before they become affordable.

Advantages of Plasma over LED-LCD:
- Pure-black levels. Unlike LED/LCD which must maintain a constant bulb of light passing through the screen, Plasma can actually turn off individual pixels, producing true blacks. Some newer LED-LCD TVs can produce black levels similar to Plasma, but until OLED becomes mainstream, there is no way to get black levels as good as a Plasma today.
- 600Hz refresh rate, which is great for watching sports and anything in motion. LED-LCD screens have 60 to 240 Hz.
- Better viewing angle than LED-LCD.
Disadvantages of Plasma:
- Plasma consumes more electricity than LED-LCD. Our guess is about 3 times as much electricity as a similarly-sized LED-LCD, but your actual power consumption may vary.
- Plasma can generate a lot of heat, and usually have a built-in fan to regulate the temperature.
- Plasma has a glass screen, and can be more prone to glare than a LED-LCD. Do not face your plasma toward a light source or window, because the plasma's glass screen can act as a mirror. It will reflect light in the same way as a touch-screen device like an iPad, iPhone, or Motorola Droid. If you place your iPad or phone where you want your TV to be, and if you can see a glare, then your Plasma would produce the same glare.
- Many plasmas, especially 2012 and earlier models, produce a slight "buzzing" sound when on. The reviews of the Samsung say there is a slight buzz in this 2013 model, but it will be drown out by TV's sound at normal levels.
If you are looking for a great TV today for your living room or home theater, we recommend this TV.

They are also selling a 51-inch model for $1000.

Newegg.com - Yamaha RX-V475 A/V Receiver & Polk PSW10 Subwoofer $300
Yamaha RX-V475 Networked Audio/Video Receiver for $300, and if you add coupon EMCWWPF98 to the cart, a Polk Audio PSW10 10-inch Subwoofer will be added for free. This is a good deal, since the Receiver usually goes for around $350, and the subwoofer for around $100.

Yamaha makes good quality receivers. We have the RX-V575 powering 5.1 living room speakers and a pair of outdoor speakers, and it works well. The RX-V475 can only power one room's stereo or surroundsound speakers, but otherwise has similar specs to the RX-V575 with 4 HDMI inputs, 2 optical & 2 coaxial inputs, and 115-watt output per channel.

It provides 4 ports of up to 2.4-amps per port, limited to 7.2-amps total. That means it is powerful enough to charge up to 3 tablets at the same time. Most other chargers are only powerful enough to charge 1 tablet at once, regardless of how many USB ports they provide. It also supports 100-240 volt input, so you can carry this charger along with an international power plug adapter when traveling overseas, without worrying about the voltage difference.

Amazon.com - Ecotones Duet Sleep Sound Machine for $70
(repost)

Place it next to your bed, plug it in, turn it on, and it listens for ambient sounds such as street noise, construction, trains, car horns, noisy roommate, etc. It does not spit out white noise, instead it plays your choice of rain, wind, waves, fireplace, etc., and adjusts the audio pitch to drown out noises it hears, effectively drowning out sounds. It's a device we tried, and vouch that it works great and we recommend it for city apartments where noises can disrupt sleep. Most stores sell it for around $75 to $90. It is currently on sale for $70.
