Cheap Samsung 7 Series LED Ultra-Slim 40" and 46" TVs at Comet

LCD and Plasma TVs seem to have taken over a bit lately and we think it’s about time they made way for some LED beauties.

Seeing as the last TV we discussed here on MyShoppingTips.com was Panasonic’s 103″ beast, it will be difficult to make any other TV sound as good but I’ll give it a good go!

Samsung have recently launched their new 7 Series range of LED Ultra-Slim TVs which features 40″, 46″ and 52″ models.

The 46″ Samsung LED is a super-slim 29.9mm thanks to the removal of chunky florescent tube lights that are found in standard LCD televisions. Such a slim TV has a place and can only look its best when mounted on a wall.

Luckily this has never been easier, thanks to Samsung’s new innovative wall mount. The Samsung 7 Series Ulta-Slim LED TVs will only sit 2 inches away from the wall once mounted and it can even be lifted away from the wall at the base to allow access to all the connection points.

The new Samsung 7 Series Ultra Slim 46″ LED TV displays visuals at 100Hz frame rate with clever Motion Plus technology. When compared to the 50Hz frame rate found on conventional TVs, you can see that the Samsung 7 Series displays more seamless and fluid images with less chance of blurring.

The 46″ screen displays images in 1920 x 1080 Full HD, so colours are incredibly vibrant and fast-moving action scenes are at their best.

The crisp picture quality combined with the Trusurround Sound System makes the Samsung 7 Series Ultra Slim 46″ LED TV perfect for watching DVD boxsets or Blu-ray discs on, as it will provide the ultimate home cinema experience.

If you’d rather watch TV than movies, you’ll be happy to hear that the Samsung 7 Series LED TVs comes with all freeview channels and a 7 day electronic programme guide thanks to an integrated digital tuner.

There are plenty of inputs including an SD Memory Card Reader and USB connection and the Samsung 7 Series 46″ LED TV can even be used as a PC Monitor.

LED TVs are often better than LCD and Plasma displays, because you often get better viewing angles for your money and reduced glare. The Samsung 7 Series range is also very good looking with a sleek black design, subtle amber frame and optional Swivel Stand.

You’ll also be able to enjoy Medi@2.0 that is buil-in to the Samsung 7 Series LED Range. This enables you to access the internet through your TV, watch multi-media content like pictures and videos, access the content flash library and wirelessly connect you laptop, PC or mobile up to the TV using DLNA wireless technology.

One of the cheapest places to buy the new Samsung 7 Series Ultra Slim LED TVs is Comet.

You can buy a 40″ Samsung 7 Series Ultra-Slim LED TV for£1599.99 from Comet.

You can buy a 46″ Samsung 7 Series Ultra-Slim LED TV for£1999.99 from Comet.

Cheap i2i Wireless Audio Stream - £79.99 from IWOOT

Nowadays, everything that’s worth having requires a plug socket to function and that means wires, cables and more wires!

It’s not hard for your house to become a cluttered with wires. If you’re anything at all like me, you’ve probably got wires strategically placed around your door frames, or in some cases trailing across the centre of a room, just so you can listen to your stereo or make your computer function.

The i2i Wireless Audio Stream is the new must-have gadget for everyone, as it will allow you to wirelessly beam sound from one audio device to another.

It’s quite simple really; all you have to do is plug an audio player into one of the i2i audio devices and connect the other i2i device to a different music player.

Once you’ve set the transmission channel, you can beam your music from one device to the other up to 30 feet away with no loss of sound quality, because the signal is uncompressed HD quality.

As an example, you could plug your computer into one of the i2i wireless audio stream devices and beam your music (from iTunes, say) to a Stereo system in a different room which has to be connected to the second i2i device.

You can even connect one device to your iPod and share your music with friends by transmitting your tunes to a Hi-Fi.

It’s so easy to do and reduces, if not eliminates, the need for messy wires and cables.

The i2i devices are 2.4 GHz Wireless Transceivers and have a battery that can be recharged through a USB port, which is ideal for when you’re using one i2i device with a portable MP3 player.

You can use the i2i Wireless Audio Stream with any device that has a headphone jack output, so the possibilities for transmitting your music are endless.

One of the cheapest places to buy an i2i Wireless Audio Stream is IWantOneOfThose.com (IWOOT).

You can buy a cheap i2i Wireless Audio Stream for £79.99 from IWOOT.

Cheap Sony VAIO CS21SV Electric Purple Laptop - £818.80 from Laptops Direct

If you were impressed by the Sony VAIO ‘P’ Series, you’ll love the new CS Series.

The new Sony VAIO CS Series features laptops in bold colours including coral pink, liquorice black, cotton white, spicy red, caramel cream and electric purple.

For this review I’ll be focusing on the purple Sony VAIO CS21SV Laptop, although most have an identical specification apart from the Black, Cream and Red which feature a Blu-ray player.

The Sony VAIO CS21SV Laptop is a stylish multimedia companion that you’re really going to want to show off thanks to the piano coating finish inside and out and the bold, head-turning colours.

Once uploaded onto your laptop, you can easily access all of your multimedia files thanks to convenient AV controls that are located on the front of the Sony VAIO CS21SV Laptop.

I’ve also got good things to say about the design. Obviously the bright and bold colours are a bonus, but the Sony VAIO CS Series also features a single isolation keyboard which has been designed for exceptional typing comfort.

Panasonic TH103PF10BK 103" HD Plasma TV - Was £52940.01 Now £44999.01 at 1stAudioVisual.co.uk

We’re always happy to let you know when we come across an impressively large plasma TV, so you’ll be pleased to know that now we have found the world’s biggest. You might want to hold on to your chair for this one…

The Panasonic TH103PF10BK HD Plasma Display is a Whopping-with-a-capital-W 103 inches diagonal. This beast makes even 60″ plasma displays look small and, dare I say, slightly pathetic.

This fan-flippin-tastic device boasts a full HD pixel resolution of 1290 x 1080 and a contrast ratio of 5,000:1.

The actual display area is around 89″ wide and 50″ high and you really haven’t lived until you watch the footie on a screen so large that you feel like you’re right their on the pitch too.

I really mean it; the Panasonic TH103PF10BK 103″ Plasma Display has the ability to make even a tiny ant look like it’s about to jump out the TV and eat you (with a close up shot) and don’t even get me started on how good gaming can be with this thing.

You can’t really say you’ve experienced true fear when playing Resident Evil 5 until you’ve fought against a life-sized zombie!

This colossal plasma TV comes equipped with a leading 16-bit processing unit which generates 4096 steps of gradation and the Panasonic TH103PF10BK 103″ Plasma TV also has Advanced Dual Picture mode which can overlay a video image onto a full screen PC image.

The Advance Dual Picture mode turns the Panasonic TH103PF10BK into a PC Interface, making it ideal for buisness meetings and large events.

A standard TY-FB9DD DVI board (compatible with UXGA input) comes as part of the Panasonic TH103PF10BK package, as does a built-in D-Sub 15 PC input and D-Sub9 RS-232C interface.

As well as being a record breaker in size, the Panasonic TH103PF10BK 103″ HD Plasma Display TV is also super huge in another department too… Price!

It’s definitely not a bargain, but you didn’t honestly think I was going to tell you that it retails for a couple of hundred quid, did you?

You can buy a Panasonic TH103PF10BK 103″ HD Plasma TV for £44999.01 from 1stAudioVisual.co.uk

You wouldn’t be wrong in thinking that you could buy a very decent car or even a small flat for that price, but do I think there will be some of you prepared to empty your wallets (and bank accounts) for such an amazing TV? Yes.

You’ll never need to fork out for cinema tickets again. This is the ultimate home theatre system, but imagine our surprise when we discovered that Panasonic have a 150″ Plasma TV in development…
