Westinghouse 1080P LCD TV
Westinghouse's LVM-42w2 is a 42" flat panel LCD TV that has a maximum resolution of 1080P, which is the highest resolution of digital high definition content. At 42", the screen is big enough to fill a large room, but at only 4.5" thick this widescreen beauty is thin enough to fit in a tight space.

Review: Philips Pronto TSU9600
Digital remote controls with LCD screens are becoming more and more in the consumer electronics industry. These thumb-exercisers are now turning into a workout for one, maybe two, hands.

Cool Universal Remote Controls
Maybe we wouldn't lose the remote if it included some features (not to mention a price) that made us feel more “attached” to it. This list features some advanced remotes that carry a lot of features you might need now or grow to love later.

Review: Pioneer PDP-6020FD
This is a product review of the Pioneer KURO PDP-6020FD 1080p plasma flat panel high definition television (HDTV). Pioneer also has a 50” version of this HDTV, model PDP-5020FD, so I presume comments made here will also apply to the PDP-5020FD.

Review: Universal Remote, R7
Universal Remote Control's pre-programmed and learning R7 doesn't have a LCD screen. It doesn't make noises or talk back to you. Exactly what does it do to make is special? It works!
