I wanted an inexpensive TV for the bedroom and the LG 32LK450 is a good choice, the picture quality is very good for it’s price. I didn’t need 120Hz so I saved $150 by buying the 60Hz model. All LG TV’s have Expert ISF Settings so you can have it professionally calibrated or do it yourself, it even has a built-in blue filter. The ATSC tuner is very powerful because I get all the local stations OTA with an indoor antenna. This model is not internet enabled so you need a set top box to get Netflix, etc. As with all TV’s the sound isn’t great but it does have bass and treble controls. The USB port supports: JPG, MP3, MPG, WMV, MP4. The manual states other video formats are supported but they wouldn’t work on my TV.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime: AUltratablet by Asus
As the tablet space grows increasingly crowded, it’s high time somebody switched up the formula and offered some hardware we can really get excited about.
Cue the entrance of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime, the first quad-core tablet on the market and the first running Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich.
Not only do the quad-core processor and the all-new operating system do wonders for app performance and the user experience, but the tablet also shows off some innovative design features: just like the newest generation of highly portable ultrabook PCs, the Transformer Prime is remarkably lightweight, very thin and has long battery life. As a bonus, you can snap it onto a keyboard dock, extending the battery life by several hours and giving it a level of functionality approaching that of a laptop.
The Transformer Prime is as light and slim as Apple’s iPad 2: the aluminum body weighs 586 grams (1.29 pounds) and is 8.3 mm (0.32 inches) thick. I’ve been testing it for a couple of weeks, and I found it easy to carry with me everywhere.
