TV & Audio

I’ve done a fair bit of traveling already this year, and couldn’t help but notice Best Buy Kiosks in quite a few airports that I ended up in. I never imagined buying electronics out of a vending machine, but actually it is a brilliant idea. Having done hundreds of business trips over the years, I inevitably had occasions where I forgot my headphones or an important cable. I hate arriving at the airport too early so I usually don’t have much time to spare. A kiosk is a perfect solution because it is a quick and secure way to quickly pick up important necessities.

      Well, maybe “teams up” is too strong a comment as they are not literally on the same team, which sounds more like a merger. What is newsworthy is that CTV is the first Canadian broadcaster to make their content available through Google’s Chromecast device. This is great news for all you prospective cable cutters and for you non-cutters that have trouble with your PVR missing past episodes of your favorite shows.

You really do need a speaker or sound bar for today's ultra thin flatscreen TVs. A new interesting and convenient option is the Sonos Playbase.

    If you’re a fan of the Mondo X SteelBook series of “poster art” Blu-Ray cases, then you’re probably already super excited about the fact that Best Buy is now carrying these awesome exclusive sets! If, however, you’re not entirely familiar with these skillfully crafted works of art (featuring glossy, comic-like artwork and plenty of special features), simply click on through to learn all about them!

This is Part 1 of a series of posts that will explain everything you need to know about today’s TVs.

TV accessories make great holiday gifts for the family. Here are a few you can choose to give as gifts this year.

14 year old Hiro (Ryan Potter) is a brilliant teenager who only wants to use his talent in robot fighting, until his brother, Tadashi (Daniel Henney) convinces him to join him at a “nerd school”. After a devastating event, Hiro takes on Tadashi’s project, Baymax (Scott Adsit), a health-caring robot and makes a few tweaks in order to fight the villain behind the devastating event along with his friends.   

TV resolution keeps getting better. We have gone from standard definition to high definition to now 4K. There are even 8K resolution “Full Ultra High Definition” TVs, although you would be hard pressed to buy one. Where will it all end and do I really need the higher resolution of 4K? Sure more resolution is always better than less resolution, but there are several circumstances where it doesn’t make sense paying more for all those extra pixels. It is good to know the finer points of resolution, no pun intended, so you don’t pay more for not much gain.

Shopping for just the right gift is a challenge. But choosing this gift pick is easy: a Google Nest Audio smart speaker is the gift that keeps on giving!

There are so mant great sales on at this time of year, it's the perfect ime to buy a new TV! Here are some of the hottest features and models on the market
