Plasma TVs, DVDs Plus

Portable dvd player at home

2010-02-04T16:41:06-08:00

My mom and I went over to my uncle's house to enjoy a big football game on his plasma TV. It turned out to be a small family gathering with lots of good munchies and some tailgating type food too. My uncle’s plasma TV is huge, so we really enjoyed the movie type experience watching this divisional playoff NFL game. His family room is big and with comfy sofas, so it is always nice to watch anything on his plasma TV. Of course, my pre-teen cousins that were there couldn’t care less about football, so they were immediately bored. My one aunt came to the rescue, she had some teen-age type DVD movies and a portable dvd player that they take when traveling. My cousins were so relieved and went to an extra bedroom to watch one of the DVD movies. They didn’t mind that it was a small screen, I think they had more fun watching the movie on a portable dvd player. It just goes to show, you don’t have to be traveling to enjoy portable dvd players.

Taking my portable dvd player camping

2010-01-16T15:26:28-08:00

Last winter, I decided to take a camping trip to Colorado with a few friends. We had all wanted to go there for awhile, and the winter is a beautiful season to see the majestic forests and mountains that Colorado has to offer. I have been all across Colorado before, and I knew the perfect spots to hit on our trip. I really wanted to show them Vail, Denver, and Fort Collins. Vail is certainly my favorite town in Colorado. I love the history behind it, and the amount of snowboarding and skiing that encompasses that town. I took along my brand new portable dvd player so that we could watch movies in the car on our trip.
Our portable dvd player came in handy immediately when we started to drive across the state. Sometimes there are vast stretches of road where there is not much to do, so having the portable dvd player is a miracle. It helped the time go by so much faster so that once we arrive at our destination, it felt like no time even went by. Overall, our trip was amazing.

Movies at their best with a DLP projector

2010-01-16T07:46:37-08:00

When we moved into our new house, our first project was to set up a home theater in our new basement. We knew it would be a place where the children would love to bring their friends. Nowadays it is important to know that the children feel free to have friends over and they do not have to be out and possibly in harms way. We knew this would be an expensive project but we wanted to do it in the best way possible. We spent many hours online studying the various possibilities including plasma TVs, and of course DVD surround sound. You can learn so much online and we found that purchasing a DLP projector was a great way to go. We can attach it to our TV and the picture is incredible. The children are enthralled when they play video games on the huge wall screen and all of the characters seem to be larger than life. Another wonderful thing about this projector is that it also has an attachment for the computer. Surfing the net has never been more fun.

Plasma TVs Are The Best!

2009-12-22T12:27:45-08:00

Plasma TVs are the best! I just love the picture that is displayed from our big screen plasma television. There is nothing clearer or more spot on than that screen. It makes me feel like the movie characters are right there in the room with me or that I am actually at the sports event.

When my husband and I discussed creating a media room we spent quite bit of time on line reading reviews of different plasma TVs. Together we became educated on what exactly was being offered and what would best fit our needs. After slimming down our choice of plasma TVs to a few my husband and I researched even further with consumer reports. With our final choice in mind we order the plasma television.

Now that the media room is finished and we have been enjoying all the amenities of the plasma TV, surround sound speakers and comfortable recliner chairs, I have to say, plasma TVs are the best! My husband and I have no regrets with this piece of technology. The kids and grandkids can attest to the beauty of our whole set up. They also have been enjoying our media room. The family that watches movies together, stays together!

On the road with my portable dvd player

2009-12-22T04:44:47-08:00

        I do not know of anything more liberating and free than going on a road trip across the good ol United States of America. So, that is just what I did with my family last summer.
        Our journey began in California, and stretched through parts of: Washington, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, and ended with the finally of Chicago, Illinois. This was the trip of a life time for us, and we brought our portable dvd player for the entire trip.
        I do not think we would have lasted all those long hours in the car driving from state to state with out our portable dvd player. With our portable dvd player, we were able to catch up on tons and tons of movies we had wanted to see for awhile, but had not had the chance to until we were all together on the road. My whole family loved the portable dvd player, because it was fun to use, and gave us countless hours of good quality entertainment.
         This bonding experience with my children is something that I hope they will never forget. I know I will never forget that summer with my family, and with our portable dvd player.

DVD Surround Sound Is A Must!

2009-12-21T09:54:09-08:00

Finding Plasma TV's can sometimes be overwhelming. That is why I would not even leave the house looking for DVD surround sound, that's what the internet is for. Just log on and let your fingers do the walking. The best gifts for my family are not necessarily toys and games, but maybe a portable DVD player recorder and a DLP projector. I was going to get my son a couple of computer video games until I saw a set up for teaching your child how to build a rocket. I liked it because it gave us time to bond and we learned together, as a team. Rockets and games are great for gifts, but sometimes what our kids need is something tangible and real.

My son plays in the local pee-wee baseball league, and I am the assistant coach. Watching all of these kids progress and play as a team is wonderful. That is what I want my kids to learn, be a team. Whether it is Boy Scouts or baseball, treat your friends with respect and give them honor; they will always call you friend if you do.

Portable DVD Player Great for Older Cars

2009-11-23T13:12:16-08:00

We have an older truck that we use to pull the boat or toy hauler. It is not equipped with any media players like the newer trucks and SUV's. So, we have found that a portable DVD player works great. We set the portable DVD player up and along with some portable speakers and run movies during our entire road trip. The kids and I are occupied with the movies and my husband likes to hear them as a distraction when he is driving for long periods.

The portable DVD player is easy to set up and use. The kids can do it. We each pick movies to take on our road trips. Then we take turns watching one after the other. There are a few movies we seem to gravitate towards over and over. We have seen and heard them so many times that you will find us reciting lines along the way.

Our older car does a fine job pulling around all our toys and the family. We are very happy the portable DVD player works out so well in the limited space we have for it in the truck. It runs from a converter in the cigarette lighter and does not jeopardize the truck in any way. It keeps us all entertained and the trips go quickly!

Nothing Better than DVD Surround Sound!

2009-11-10T06:27:56-08:00

I spend more time at home watching movies since the installation of my media center. I have to say the DVD surround sound system makes all the difference in the world. When you can actually feel the sound of a movie, now that is something!

My friends have made my living room their own. All I have to do is say "movie night" and I have got a full house! Someone will bring the movie, another the popcorn, still another the soda. My best friend knows that it won't be a true movie night without ice cream. Once we are all settled in I start the movie and we are blanketed with the DVD surround sound!

Sometimes my neighbors will pound on the apartment walls in an effort to prompt me to turn down the DVD surround sound. That is not going to happen. I just invite them to join the fun and that takes care of that. Momentarily they join the movie party, I wonder if they are really just looking for an invite! It doesn't matter either way, when they arrive with the admission price of homemade chocolate chip cookies, they are definitely welcome!

DVD Surround Sound is a Necessity in Noisy Home

2009-10-06T14:39:22-07:00

<--- That's Loud!
DVD surround sound has become a necessity in our noisy home. We have four kids, and they are not the quiet types.
Three are boys, and they are always active and bustling with ambition. There are several times throughout the evening that we find ourselves reminding them that they are indoors and need to play with their indoor voices. They always have a new story to tell, and it is usually in the middle of a movie that they will remember it. If it's not a story, it's some kind of sound effect that they feel they must display. Sometimes I swear they make them just so that they can be making noise.
I have a difficult time watching movies when they are making all of their playful sounds. I can't hear things very well when there is too much noise in the background. The way that we have solved this issue is to get DVD surround sound. Now, all I have to do in order to hear my movie is turn up the volume on the DVD player recorder!

I Love My DVD Surround Sound and Home Theater

2009-10-06T14:10:23-07:00

It's great to have a DVD surround sound and home theater system. The DVD surround sound system is awesome to hear during a movie on our home theater. It really enhances the movie experience having the surround sound swirling all around our living room during the movie. It feels like we are in the movie theater, only we're much more comfortable. I would rather sit in my living room and watch a movie on a home theater, than sit on hard, sticky chairs at the theater. It's much cheaper to buy a movie and watch it, especially with a large family of seven like mine, than to get admission to a theater. Not to mention how much less expensive the snacks are at home versus the movie theater. It is great to avoid the crowds and strangers in the theaters, and watching at home means I can sit in my pajamas if I want to. I enjoy watching movies at home, having the DVD surround sound system is a great way to watch movies. I'm so happy with our system, and it makes watching movies so wonderful.

DVD surround sound makes my day once again

2009-10-02T18:37:48-07:00

I love my DVD surround sound system and it has really made my day on more than one occasion. Over the past few weeks my roommate has been out of town in Europe on vacation, leaving the house to my wife and I! I decided what better a time to make use of having the whole house than to surprise my wife with an intimate dinner and a truly romantic evening. I rented a movie to watch on my DVD surround sound system for later on in the night, and bought some candles and gourmet food. After downloading the proper recipes, I made sure to follow the directions very carefully and cooked the perfect meal. Then, moments before she got home from work, I put her favorite Jack Johnson CD in the DVD surround sound system, lit the candles and had dinner all ready. You should have seen her face when she saw all the trouble that I went through to make her evening oh so special. We had a wonderful dinner, and then enjoyed watching a movie together before turning in for a memorable night!

DLP Projectors Are All the Rave

2009-09-20T21:32:22-07:00

I had no idea what DLP projectors were and why they were becoming so popular, so I did some research online to find out more about them.
DLP technology was developed in 1987 by Dr. Larry Hornbeck, who works for Texas Instruments. This DLP chip is what is at the heart of DLP technology. The little chip contains over two million micro mirrors, which create digital images when put together with a digital video or graphic signal. The chip also needs a light source and a projection lens to produce the image. But, when all of these are put together, we have the technology that drives DLP projectors.
DLP projectors and flat screen HDTVs contain these chips, which is why we can have pictures that resemble the quality we expect to see in the theaters. To run a projector, flat screens for the wall are required in order to display the images. Another bonus to DLP technology? The images that would normally burn themselves into a television or projection screen will not do so with DLP imaging. It has been said that gaming and watching pro ball games are superb when this technology is used to view them.

My plasma TV's and DVD surround sound.

2009-09-14T00:53:44-07:00

I have a really cool job. I get to sell plasma TV's, DVD surround sound to people who are like me, a connoisseur. The kind person that will put a portable dvd player on their mountain bike. Or put a DLP projector in the tree on the side of the house, and watch a movie on the side of the house. I knew a guy who put a dvd player recorder in the head rest of his seat so he could record his son being silly. You can put plasma TV's anywhere.

I went with the installation crew on a job that seemed to me, impossible. A client of mine came into the store and purchased twelve, yes that is right, twelve sixty five inch plasma TV's. You might be asking yourself, what the heck is he going to do with twelve sixty five inch plasma TV's? He is putting them together. Four plasma TV's side by side, and three plasma TV's top to bottom. The plasma TV's screens are sixty five inches by 48 inches. That is forty nine thousand, nine hundred and twenty square inches. Incredible.

Portable DVD Player Has Seen Better Days

2009-08-28T20:44:01-07:00

Portable DVD players can be extremely rugged. Ours certainly saw its fair share of usage before we wore it out! We had purchased a portable DVD player for our move South, in the month of July. The portable DVD player certainly did its job of keeping my kids happy in the car for the 1200 mile trek. However, it's purpose did not end there. See, we had left our television back at the house we'd just moved from. It was big and bulky and older, and we were afraid that if we moved it that far, it would not survive the trip. So, when we arrived at our new home, we did not have a television to plug our home DVD player into. Our kids ended up using the portable DVD player as their regular television/DVD player combo for a couple of months. The portable DVD player was a blast for them, because it went from room to room. They could watch movies on it in the living room, the tent in their bunk bed, or in the car on the way to the store. It certainly saw its usage. The lifespan of our portable DVD player? Approximately four months. That may not seem that long, but considering the abuse that it got being overused like it was, the portable DVD player certainly proved itself in the durability and ruggedness areas. As a matter of fact, it was the engine that drives the DVD to spin that conked out first. The video screen, sound, and laser are still functioning. I wonder if we can get it fixed......

Backyard Movie with a DLP Projector

2009-08-28T09:04:47-07:00

DLP Projector

My friends and I usually gather once a week to watch movies at each other’s homes. One night the weather outside was so great, we were thinking if we should scrap the movie plan and go for a walk instead. One of my friends said that his uncle who was staying at his place for the weekend had a new DLP projector. Maybe we could watch a movie in his backyard. We all thought it was a great idea.

We went to his place and set up the DLP projector and laptop on the patio. We pulled out some blankets, pillows and rugs and settled down for a movie. It was amazing. The cool wind blowing on our faces and watching a good movie at the same time. To top it off my friend’s mom kept bringing us drinks and goodies to eat. It was great and we all enjoyed it. Now we’re thinking of pooling our money to buy our own DLP projector. Then we can use it for our movie nights when the weather is beautiful.

A DVD player recorder preserves family memories.

2009-08-06T04:39:29-07:00

A DVD player recorder can preserve family memories for generations to come. Many years ago, my parents had their old home movies put on to VHS from the old reels they used to be on. It was a good way to preserve the memories and be able to watch them on tv instead of with a projector and screen. Then a couple years ago, they bought a DVD player recorder and transferred those home movies from the VHS to DVD. What a great way to preserve our families memories from old home movies. They have videos going back to before they were married over 42 years ago. After they did this and I saw how great the videos came out, I transferred my family's memories from VHS to DVD using their DVD player recorder. The DVD player recorder was easy to use and very user friendly. My home movies now have great quality and will last even longer. I'm so happy that I used a DVD player recorder to put my old VHS home videos onto DVD's.

The Portable DVD Player Recorded the Storm

2009-08-04T21:18:14-07:00

The weather is one thing we can count on to be impossible to count on. I learned this lesson while on vacation in Florida a few years ago. Hurricane Season was in full swing, and there had already been a couple of strong ones that had hit the east coast that year. We decided to go on our scheduled vacation anyway. What were the chances of another bad hurricane hitting where we would be? We did go, and it was absolutely beautiful. The sun was shining, rain was minimal, and the water was breathtaking. We even went deep sea fishing...without much success. However, we had a great time trying!

Then came the storm. The weather stations stated there might be a chance of it coming our way. Luckily, we had gone online and purchased a portable DVD player for the trip. That year, we also purchased a Black and Decker Weather Alert Radio to take with us. The last two days of our trip the storm started heading our way. We knew we would leave soon; but, we did not leave soon enough. The hotel had two great plasma TVs, and we remained glued to each one...kids in one room, Mom and Dad in the other. The weather radio was on...Winds began howling, rain started coming down, and we watched "things" start to blow off the hotel across from us. At last, we were able to leave, and we got home safely. The trip ended in a whirlwind of excitement, and it was a great learning experience. We were fortunate to get it all on the recorder!

Instantly In Love With Plasma TVs

2009-08-04T16:44:01-07:00

There are times when we instantly fall in love with something at first sight and for many of us plasma TVs is one of these things. Last month I went to a house party and the host has the entertainment room prepared to be used as music and video central. The moment you go inside that room the first thing that captivates your attentions is the plasma TVs. Once I laid eyes on those babies it was as if those plasma TVs were sending hypnotizing vibes convincing me that there is a better more colorful world out there and they are the door to that world. That night the host had connected his plasma TVs to his cable box and found a channel that has HD music videos 24/7. I don’t know if the party was meant to happen all over the house, but everyone stayed in that room with the plasma TVs. We were all having so music fun watching all videos in almost life-like resolution while enjoying the cool beats coming from the DVD surround sound system. After that night it wasn’t just me who was convinced about the allure of plasma TVs—there’s just nothing cooler.

Helping my neighbor with their Plasma TV

2009-07-22T20:17:13-07:00

Since my husband and I are installing a home theater system in our home, our neighbor decided we had a tremendous amount of knowledge regarding televisions, and she was in the market for a television. My husband knows far more than I. However, I decided to do some research in helping her with her quest, and I found the perfect Pyle 32" television that met all her specifications. I even located a portable dvd player for her which would be fit in the bedroom thereby allowing her to watch DVD movies there as well. She was thrilled, and we were glad to help. I showed her how to do the research on her own, and that little lady is on her way to being the "Computer Queen" of our neighborhood!

She ordered the television and portable DVD player, and was absolutely inspired to go the extra mile...that's right, she and her husband decided on going the distance by adding a home theater too!

They say the greatest compliment is when someone copies you, and that happened to us. Truth be known, we were honored to have been the inspiration for them to make that decision.

Portable DVD Player For My Car

2009-07-13T12:34:33-07:00

My family and I recently moved 1200 miles from home. When I was packing our DVDs for the move, I started imagining our trip in the minivan. I was traveling alone with my four children, all under the age of ten. I reflected on my childhood and our family trips of a mere 200 miles. "He's touching me." "She's breathing on me." I remember them well. I decided then and there that packing all of the DVDs was not happening. Some were staying out of the box, and I was buying a portable DVD player. I have never had such a quiet ride in the car with my four children, as I did that trip South. We piled into our van, headed out, and I let them ride for awhile without the portable DVD player running. They made it a good few hours before the bickering began! I pulled over, set the portable DVD player up between the seats so that they could all see, and we were on the road again. It was a long trip, and we took three days to make it. The portable DVD player had a chord that I could plug into the electrical outlet in my minivan, so we were able to keep it running longer periods of time. It was one of the quietest trips that I have ever taken with my kids! They didn't even fight over not being able to see the screen or someone getting in their way! I did have to stop along the way to purchase one of those cassette tapes that allows your portable DVD player to play its audio through the car speakers. But once that was in, and we'd purchased a season of SpongeBob to go along with it, it was a pleasant ride with my children to our new home in the South.
