Amazon.com - Ecotones Duet Sleep Sound Machine for $77
(expired: price raised)

It's a highly rated device which helps drown out ambient noise, to help you sleep. Place it next to your bed, plug it in, turn it on, and it listens for ambient sounds such as street noise, construction, trains, car horns, etc. It does not spit out white noise, instead it plays your choice of rain, wind, waves, fireplace, etc., and adjusts the pitch to drown out noises. It's a device we tried, and vouch that it works great and we recommend it for city apartments where noises can disrupt sleep. Most stores sell it for around $100.

Dell.com - deals today
- Western Digital (WD20EARS) 2TB Hard Drive for $100 with coupon Z3D?X?2RHZQG94 ($0.05/GB). Pretty good reviews.
- Vizio 47" (SV472XVT) LED-backlit LCD 1080p 240Hz HDTV for $1150 with coupon 1107FH869MMR9M . Most other stores sell it for around $1375. More pricey than other 47" LCDs because of its LED-backlit feature, which is better technology than LED-edgelit and conventional LCD.

Thursday, July 29, 2010

Dell.com - 40" LED-edgelit LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV for $700
Definitely not a deal worth considering as a main TV in a home, since the online reviews of the manufacturer's TV quality are mixed. As a spare TV, it might be a good deal. It's a Haier 40-inch (HL40XSL2) LED-edgelit LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV with 800,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 6ms response time. Most other 40" LED-edgelit LCD's go for around $1000.

Monday, July 26, 2010

Dell.com - 7" Portable LCD TV for $60
(expired)

A decent portable widescreen 7-inch TV with detachable ATSC antenna for $60, with fair reviews.

Friday, July 23, 2010

Newegg.com - deals today

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Walmart.com - 24" LED-edgelit LCD 1080p HDTV for $219
A little risky since the Viore brand's quality is somewhat unknown, but a good price for a 24" HDTV that usually sells for around $300.

Monday, July 19, 2010

Costco.com - Vizio 37" LED-edgelit LCD 1080p HDTV for $600
Vizio (M370NV) 37-inch LED-edgelit LCD 1080p HDTV for $600 with free shipping. Most other stores sell it for around $700. Costco membership is required to get the deal, otherwise the price goes up by 5%. Costco membership costs $50 for 1 year.

Unlike most HDTVs which include a 1 year warranty, this one comes with 2 years. Electronics purchases can be returned to any Costco store within 90 days.

LED-edgelit is better than a regular LCD because the TV can shut off regions of the screen to produce deeper blacks. LED-backlit can shut off more areas of the screen for even deeper blacks and thus an even better picture, but is a little more expensive than LED-edgelit.

Sunday, July 18, 2010

Amazon.com - Samsung 46" LED-Backlit LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV, Wireless, Blu-Ray Player for $1250
Samsung (UN46C6500) 46" LED-Backlit LCD 1080p HDTV for $1250. Instead of immediately adding it to the cart, scroll down and press "add all three to cart" to add the HDTV along with a free Samsung Blu-Ray Player and a free Wireless adapter compatible with the TV and Blu-Ray player. All three items should appear in the cart, but promotional discounts should make the final price $1250 on the final checkout page. Be sure to check the price on the final checkout before committing to buy, since some Amazon promotions may end without notice.

Most other stores sell just this HDTV for around $1500.

Saturday, July 17, 2010

Sears.com - Zenith 50" 720p Plasma HDTV for $580 or $645

(expired: price raised)

Wednesday, July 14, 2010

Meritline.com - Hidden Camera Clock for $37
Install a MicroSD memory card up to 32GB, and it records video at 640x480 at 30 FPS.

Meritline is actually a great store and usually sells good quality products, however this deal is a little risky for a couple reasons. First, the product ships from China which not only means a 3 week delivery timeframe, but the quality is unknown and no product reviews exist. If the video quality is poor, you're out $37. Second, the photos show 3 colors (red, blue, and black) but the product description does not say which color you will receive.

Dell.com - deals today
(expired)
- Creative Vado HD 2nd Generation 4GB Pocket Video Camcorder for $60. Most stores sell it for $100.
- Seagate 1.5TB 7200rpm Hard Drive for $75. Beware, this is the ST31500341AS model, which had an extremely poor history of bad firmware causing loss in data. If you decide to buy the drive, be prepared to check your serial number against Seagate's website to see if it needs a free firmware update before using.

WarehouseDeals.com - refurbished Amazon Kindle for $110
Refurbished (not new) Amazon 6" Kindle for $110 with free shipping. This one runs on Sprint's network, so it only works within the US.

Compared to most other ebook readers, the Kindle does not emit light so it is much easier on the eyes than most other devices, especially reading in the dark.

In comparison, a new 6" Kindle runs for $189, or a 9.7" Kindle for $359 and work on the AT&T network.

Downloading ebooks incur no service fees (other than the cost of the books, typically priced around $10 or less), but using the Kindle to surf the web or do other services may run up some charges. For example, subscribing to a blog via the Kindle can cost $2 per month. Daily newspapers can cost $15 per month.

Tuesday, July 6, 2010

Sears.com - Sylvania Blu-Ray Disc Player for $70
Sylvania NB530SLX Blu-Ray Disc Player for $70 with free shipping. It actually has pretty good reviews, and most stores sell Blu-Ray players for over $100.

- 3Ware 9650SE-2LP PCIe x1 Hardware RAID Controller Card for $155 with coupon SUNSHINE15 . Supports hardware RAID 0 or 1 for up to 2 physical hard drives. Most stores sell it for around $180. Unlike most other RAID cards which rely on software drivers to manage the RAID (and thus rely on the operating system to boot for the RAID to function), 3ware cards' RAID is completely hardware driven, and managed through the computer's BIOS bootup screens.

Sells elsewhere for around $220, and unlike many other SSD deals, no annoying prepaid Visa cards by mail-in rebate necessary to get this deal.

SSD's like this are designed for use with Linux or Windows 7, and could take some work to get running with Windows XP.
The coupon applies toward more than one item in the cart, but only grants $15 total savings per order.

Newegg.com - iPhone 3G/3GS extended battery for $15
(repost)

Energizer iPhone Extended Battery for $15 with free shipping today. It works really well, and extends the battery of an iPhone to about 70% longer than it would without an extended battery. However the Energizer also increases the thickness of the iPhone by about 75% larger. Even still, it's great for someone constantly on the go and rarely finds a few hours of idle time to charge the phone throughout the day.

the Energizer device can be charged by itself (without the phone), it can be extremely useful for people constantly on the go. Buy multiple and keep one of these charged at home and at the office. If your phone needs a charge and you need to run into a meeting, run an errand, or hit the gym, grab a fully charged Energizer and it will charge your phone up without having to plug it in.

Most other stores sell it for around $37.

This will not work with the new iPhone 4.

Here is a nice video review.

Friday, June 11, 2010

Amazon.com - LG 42" LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV for $664
(expired)

This model (42LD520) dropped in price because several newer models are available.

Summer is when new electronics products are released, and there are plenty of new HDTVs with new technology. Some have LED-backlit for local dimming (as opposed to regular LCD which have a uniform brightness across the screen), and some have built-in networking for web browsing, weather reports, and watching streaming videos directly from the TV. This is good news for someone looking to buy an HDTV and does not need the latest technology. As always, be sure to read reviews before buying since some models have dropped in price because they are not selling well.
