So I'm rocking a 46" Panasonic Plasma 720P that I bought from Circuit City in probably 2007'ish. Its basically the flip phone of TVs. Finally looking to upgrade. 55", TV (digital over the air) and movies (streaming HD, bluray) only. No gaming. Price point under $500. From everything I can find, something like the TCL S515 seems to be the best bang for the buck. Any cheaper but equivalent options, or better options at the same price point?

<-- Noob I haven't ever had a wireless connection before as my old house was completely wired, considering this I am not sure of the proper & logical way to secure my wireless network. Amusingly, I can use my neighbors both here and at my old house but considering the price of routers these days wanted to install my own for flexibilty. So, any recommendations or primers on doing this the right way? I figure I am not the only one here not in the know so I thought I start a thread. Any input would be appreciated!

Hey guys, was wondering if any of you know of any cheap online places that sell mp3's. iTunes is like $.99 that's too much... don't like buying full cd's but looking for good quality mp3's. house, hip hop, trance, drum n bass, jungle, bongo, hard house, hard trance... that's what I like

Sadly, I have NOT been able to test it as the Android Market says my phones software isn't compatible with it, just because I am running 2.3.7 But it looks very promising, the developer is of Steve Meade Designs and seems to really want to make it into a GREAT application.

I was looking for advice on a Backup Camera. I have never shopped for one and don't know which specs I need to be looking for. So if anybody could lead me in the right direction, that would be great! I have a Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD. I'm pretty sure it will accept any input from the Camera. My budget would be any where from 50$, to idk, 200$? I don't really know whats a good price for a good solid unit. I'm wanting to invest into this heavily because its really important. When the new window tints, and possibly a wall in the future, I will need a way to see behind me safely and more efficiently.

Here is a song that I have came across today that really has me feeling pretty good about music at the moment. I am most pleased with the type of hard work and skill that has to be put together in order to accomplish such talent. Even if you don't like either music genre's, it is still music that has to be composed together well enough to create good music. Please, do watch, if you already have, then watch it again and appreciate the music one more time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isOBghMbOVk Also, please let me know what you think. (I know I accidentally misspelled genre's in the title, please edit if possible, thanks!)

hey guys, im looking for a new laptop for the parents. budget is 600 tops. i would rather spend about 500 but i'd like to see them get a real nice laptop since they are very slow to upgrade... their dell single core desktop finally died... its like 7 years old probably... their looking for a laptop, not one of those shitty 10" screen POS deals.. heres what ive turned up. gateway $600 asus dual core $550 asus K60I-RBBBR05 here is the guide i used to pick them out... i havent found much help from online websites that keep up with laptops... dell offerings w/ i3

School and work has been kickin my ass so bad I have no time for anything else! lol Sucks I don't have as much time as I did to be on here as I did before. So my laptop (HP Envy M6) broke last week. I bought a new hard disk drive since that's what was broke on it. Now I need the windows operating system DVD to reinstall windows. It's over $150 that I've seen online and in Walmart. I really don't have the money to be spending like that since I just bought the HDD for $100. My question is, Does anyone have the installation DVD for windows I could borrow? Doesn't have to be windows 8. I just need something. I would just need to install it then I can return it. I'll even…

I got a laptop a couple years ago and now I primarily use it at work or for work-related things. So, now I am looking for something else. No games, no movies, little music ... mainly used for Word/Excel documents and surfing the internet. 17" screen would be great. Price range - somewhere around $1500? Anyone have any suggestions? I have been completely out of the game since I bought mine two years ago so I am unsure as to what is regarded as the best right now. Is it still down to the whole AMD vs. Intel Core 2 Due thing? To be honest I have not looked around much, but I was wondering if anyone had anything off the top of their heads. I will get some model numbers…

Anyone have any thoughts on any laptops, or companies making them. I've always had desktops in the past, and built them, so haven't dealt with any particular brand sucking. Budget is 700, but I'd rather spend closer to 600, may buy used. I don't need a big hard drive, 50gb will suffice. 2gb of ram should be good. Wireless card 802.11 intel based or atheros based is a must. cd and dvd reader, doesn't need to write. screen size, 15" is fine, don't need anything big. good battery life is a plus. In the mean time I'll be reading page after page of laptops on newegg.

So I am going to be getting a new computer, the most important thing is that it can run old school runescape well. I also want to spend as little money as possible. Any suggestions on a cheap laptop that will have no problems running osrs? Or do I need to go with a desktop?

so i am in the market for a laptop as i am moving off to college.....and i found a gateway refurb on tigerdirect and it has a 1.7Ghz Centrino processor. i was just wondering how this processor compares to like the Celeron. i know my grandma once had a brand new desktop with a Celeron processor about 3 years back and the thing just sucked, it was terrible. i didnt know if this Centrino was better or if it was kind of a replacement..?

Well now that I'm old, I feel I need to become self sufficient. This means getting a new phone, plan and/or network. Any Ideas? I'm Verizon right now, but they are quite expensive. I like T-Mobile and the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, with everything it would be about $80 monthly. I also like the iPhone and AT&T, that would be $199 so start off, I'm not sure on monthly prices though. I need unliminted texting, and about 500 anytime minutes. Any advice?

I'm in search of some capacitors and after exhausting local stores I need to turn to the internet to find what I need. I would like to know where is a reputable place to get components at?? I have found a couple places that have what I need and dont have a minimum order amount. Has anybody dealt with http://digikey.com/ or http://www.mouser.com/ ?? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for a decent laptop for under $650 ($500 or less would be ideal) and I'm laptop dumb. I don't do any gaming. I don't download movies/music or do any video editing. Just needs to be used for basic uses......Microsoft Office, internet (I'm going to purchase a wireless router aswell), and eventually I want to get the software and hardware for a MLS measurement system. So processor, RAM and HDD don't need to be industry leading, but I also don't want something that will overly limit future uses. For example, I would probably take a higher quality videocard over a huge HDD. I want a minimum screen size of 15" and DVD RW (which anymore seems to be the standard). I'…
