  1. Surf the Internet on Your TV

    Did you know that you can surf the web right from you bed through your TV? Sure, most people can check email or tool around on the Internet from their smart phones and laptops, but smart phones are not designed for prolonged web searching, and dragging your laptop into your bedroom or sitting it on your lap on the couch can be cumbersome.

    Special devices for the TV have been around a number of years, such as WebTV (now MSN TV), which provides users a wireless keyboard, unique remote control and the ability to surf any web page while you are in your comfort zone. The Nintendo Wii also allows users to find their favorite websites without getting up from the sofa.

    Both Panasonic and EspriTV will soon be releasing televisions with built-in technology for accessing the Internet, complete with wireless keyboards.

    Imagine surfing the web while propped up in comfort on your bed pillows. A foot of the bed TV lift cabinet makes this dream a reality, by allowing your TV to raise up from an ornate,

  7. What’s Great about Blu-ray Players?

    Most people can remember when VHS moved over and made room for DVDs. Today, all the buzz is about Blu-ray movies and Blu-ray players. But what’s great about a Blu-ray?

    For one, a Blu-ray disc can hold about 10 times more data than a standard DVD disc, which is great for high-definition videos and behind-the-scenes extras. The name itself, Blu-ray, comes from the blue laser used in the player to read the disc. Standard DVD players read information with a red laser, which has a longer wavelength and takes longer to read information stored on the DVD.

    For a short time, Blu-ray discs were competing with HD (high-definition) DVD discs, but now most major movie studios, movie rental companies and even makers of Sony’s Playstation 3 have announced they will only be producing Blu-ray discs, simply because a higher quality picture can be placed on the disc, as well as more content in general.

    At ImportAdvantage, however, it does not matter if you have Blu-ray player, a DVD player, or even a VHS

  10. The Importance of Contrast Ratio on Your LCD TV

    Contrast ratio is an important part of the picture quality on your LCD TV. In short, the contrast ratio is the difference between the brightest and darkest elements you can view on your LCD TV screen. The higher the ratio, the broader the viewing spectrum and supposedly the better the picture.

    In reality, though, TV manufacturers measure their contrast ratios in various ways, so it is difficult to translate how a specific contrast ratio will look on any particular LCD TV screen. The best way to decide which LCD TV looks best with a given contrast ratio is simply to view the screen with a wide variety of dark and light pictures.

    However, contrast ratios do play an important part in picture quality, and they can range from 500:1 (which is what print looks like on a movie theatre screen) or now even 1,000,000:1! Some say the human eye can only process a contrast ratio up to 40,000:1 on a bright sunny day, so having a greater contrast ratio is pointless. Find out for yourself, but don’t let
