Sceptre has new 32″ LED HDTV for the masses

You know that times  are extremely hard these days especially on the economic front, and it makes perfect sense for us to look out for value-for-money bargains. HDTVs are dime a dozen in the market, and with more and more players entering the game, the industry has gotten a whole lot more competitive. Well, Sceptre is one of those names, and they have decided to grace the market with they spanking new 32″ LED HDTV model that will cater for the entry-level niche.
Also known as the Scpetre E325BV-HD, it has been touted to be the ideal companion in your living room – assuming you’re still using one of those fat, chunky CRTs or want to introduce yet another TV to your home. At least it isn’t that large so much so that it cannot fit into a cramped apartment without looking out of place.

This particular Sceptre model will come in an ultra light chassis that tips the scales at just 20 pounds with its stand included, but despite that, it will not compromise on performance as it delivers a flicker and static free 31.5″ LED display in 1,366 x 768 resolution glory alongside a response time of 6.5ms – reasonable enough, but you can be sure that there are far quicker models out there in the market. At the very least it can swivel up to 30 degrees, where it can be detached at the neck and base if you so desire in order to mount it onto a wall, making it even passable as a computer monitor or digital signage if the need arises.
As for connectivity, this model will sport a trio of HDMI ports, a USB port and a headphone jack, letting you to hook it up to your PS3 or notebook in a jiffy. Apart from that, a couple of 10 watt built-in speakers will carry multiple features for it to maximize audio quality, ranging from noise reduction filer to surround sound mode, sound equalizer settings and auto volume level control
Wal-Mart carries the new 32″ LED HDTV from Sceptre if you are interested, making it an interesting proposition for those who are looking forward to their first ever HDTV.

GameCom 777 from Plantronics

I got a chance to try out the GameCom 777 and I was pretty impressed when I heard them.
The GameCom 777 is apparently designed for games and movies for a laptop, and it has a USB adapter that can convert any 2 channel audio source to a virtual 7.1 surround sound device. From the moment I plugged in the adapter and the headphones, the sound was magnified incredibly. You can quote me on those last two words, as I do’t know any other way to describe it.
It also has a noise-cancelling microphone that can bend up into the headphones themselves. It has an in-line volume which I will have to warn you: it will usurp your laptop’s volume control. In other words, your computer’s regular dial will not work as you have use the one on the 777. That is totally acceptable.
The specially designed ear pods can redistribute pressure for maximum comfort, and they feel pretty light on my head for something that looks heavy. I found that the the cables were durable, so it can take a lot of yanking. Not that you should be yanking the cord, of course.
The GameCom 777 is available on the Plantronics site right here, and the price listed is $99.99.

Stem iZON Remote Room Monitor announced

Stem has just announced their iZON Remote Room Monitor – which does look like some sort of modern day droid who was programmed to watch over the room with its plethora of sensors. Actually, it isn’t (sorry for the disappointment!), and R2-D2 need not worry that he would be out of a job anytime soon. In fact, the Stem iZON Remote Room Monitor is actually an app-controlled video camera that will deliver live streaming of both audio and video to any iOS device from Apple – we are talking about having it sent to anywhere in the world.
iZON will, in fact, easily join most wireless networks in order to deliver secure remote monitoring over the free Stem:Connect App for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. Let iZON do all the watching and listening on your behalf, where it will inform you whenever it detects a motion or sound, sending such recordings over to a free, private YouTube account by itself – how smart is that? It makes me remember of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, where R2-D2 stood in Senator Amidala’s room to watch over her while she slept.
Even non-techies can get used to the iZON in a jiffy, where you place it on any horizontal surface or mount it to a ceiling. Capable of tilting and swiveling easily using its special magnetic base, the iZON won’t let you down if you want a basic security device that records down anything out of the ordinary. The Stem:Connect App can be downloaded for free, and it takes but a handful of steps to create a secure user account while starting to stream live audio and video.
If you’re interested, iZON can be purchased directly from here (www.steminnovation.com) as well as in select Best Buy locations. Folks who swear by the Apple retail store can pick theirs up from there soon, where it will retail for $129.95 a pop.
