Looks like I’m getting a new TV set soon! We’re renovating the basement and I think I’m going to turn it into a den / rec room. So, of course, if it’s a den I’ll need a new TV … right? You’re following my logic right?

Last time we bought a new TV we got a DLP HDTV. It’s nice but we had a lot of trouble with the first brand that we bought. We went through three of them before changing brands! I don’t even want to think about those months of having a brand new very expensive TV that didn’t work.

So this time round I’m thinking about getting an LCD TV. An HDTV of course. Now that I’m used to one I don’t think I’d want to give that up. So I’ve been reading write ups to find out what the best lcd tvs are so that we don’t run into any problems when we buy one.

I think it’s good to do some research before you purchase something that you’re going to be using for 10 years or so. It’s not like we didn’t do any research when we bought our DLP tv, we did, it’s just that the brand that we thought had the nicest picture turned out to be one heck of a lemon!

The technology isn’t as new now, especially if we go with an LCD TV so I’m sure with a little research we won’t have a problem at all.

It’ll be a few months before we are ready to buy a TV so If any of you have HD LCD TVs and want to point me towards some brands that you’ve tried I’d love to hear your suggestions.

I just came across a website that appears to be the ultimate guide for anyone looking to purchase anything DVD.

The site is called DVD Recorders and Players Guide and it’s filled with information on the various types of DVD players and recorders, systems to use with them, the latest technologies such as the new Samsung Blu-Ray Disc Player, pricing and even shopping information.

If you are considering purchasing a DVD system for your home or as a gift for someone you care about then you should visit the guide and get some information so that you can purchase the DVD system that best suits your needs. I know that I’m going to be spending some time there reading about the new Blue Ray disc players. I’ve been hearing about them on TV and it looks like the quality of the DVD picture with this new technology is simply mind blowing.

We have the occasional power outage in our area and there’s been times when we’ve been caught without a flashlight or perhaps the batteries or light has worn out in the one or two that we have around the house. This is a big pain in the butt if the power outage happens in the evening.

There’s nothing wrong with candles, other than the possible fire hazard they impose, but you just can’t see well enough in the dark without having several candles blazing can you?

I recently discovered a site that sells several different types of flashlights. The company sells streamlight flashlights, plus many other brands such as Pelican, and Streamlight. They have Pelican LED flashlights, hands free headlamps, pocket, gun mount lights, and flash light accessories. These flashlight could be used for fun- ie camping and outdoor activities like hunting and camping, emergency situations such as when the power goes out at home, or by police and emergency services such as EMS and firefighters. The possible uses are endless.

I think it would be pretty cool to have a headlamp flashlight. We are always doing renovations around here and it would be nice to have a hands free light focused into a dark area that you happen to be working in. I think a headlamp flashlight would work perfectly in that type of situation. It would also be good if you were walking around outside in an unlit area, or perhaps even reading in bed. Hey why not?

Opticsplanet.com offers discount pricing, plus FREE UPS on order over $29.95. They also sell a whole line of products ranging from binoculars, microscopes, sunglasses to even MP3 players. I know that I’m going to look over the types of flashlights that they have in stock. We only have two flashlights in the house right now and think a three story house should probably have at least one flashlight for every floor if not more.
