Soyo 22″ (21.6″ Viewable) Widescreen LCD Monitor

The Soyo 22″ Widescreen LCD Monitor is of remarkable size and quality for an insanely low price. Currently (as of 5/07/08 while supplies last) this screen is going for only $199.99, and is a perfect addition to any home office, or personal computer system. Ok, so here are some of the much wanted specs and techy terms which I will try to simplify for everyones reading pleasure. This specific Soyo widescreen has a 1000:1 contrast ratio, a 1680 x 1050 maximum resolution, and TFT Active Matrix Technology. Who, What Huh? Ok, so with a contrast ratio like that, you will be able to view a greater contrast between not only light and dark colors, but shadows (grays) as well in full detail. The max resolution is ideal to view a crisp clean image, and the Matrix technology makes clear motion for action movies, and video games. The combination of the three gives you an unsurpassed image for such a low price. This widescreen also has a very good viewing angle, included speakers, and 2 video signal inputs. Lightweight as well and mountable (Vesa mount sold separately), this is a great gift idea for any Dad who wants a better display for work or play.

Canon ZR950 MiniDV Camcorder

Sometimes, a picture is just not enough when capturing great memories. Canon knows this, and has yet again raised the bar in terms of an affordable video camcorder.

So, keeping true to form, the Canon ZR950 MiniDV Camcorder is another exceedingly functional cam, and utilizes top quality hardware for some great results. Now don’t be fooled by the affordable nature of this camcorder device. I know it is easy to think that a low cost cam will give sub par results, but keep in mind that Camcorder, even if it is for beginners, does not mean it’s a basic. In fact, the ZR950 uses DIGIC DV (digital image core) technology to deliver great video and excellent image resolution. Th digital minidv camcorder also comes fully loaded with a 2.7 in. widescreen LCD display and an LCD video light, making video recording a very visible process. To make things just a bit easier on you, the Canon Zr950 also includes a remote, joystick control, and level/grid markers so you can concentrate more on the recording than the hardware itself! Understanding that videos and digital recording is always a creative process, the canon cam also has many image effects and special scene modes, which always adds a perfect special touch to your project.

Garmin Nuvi 200W GPS Navigation System

Here, there, who knows where? Some people just can’t seem to find themselves out of a paper bag, and I am one of those people. For the directionally challenged (myself included), Garmin has come out with a solid navigational answer. Now, it is truly unrealistic to think that you can read a state road map while driving 70mph on the turnpike. So, to make direction reading simple when driving, the touch screen Garmin Nuvi 200w GPS Navigation System is an ideal and an inexpensive way to get to your destination in one piece, and on time. Using up to date GPS software and preloaded maps of 48 states (including Hawaii and Puerto Rico), the Garmin Nuvi has a voice activation system which will talk you through every direction. But wait a second, a voice activated GPS is good, but how good can a nav system be, if it isn’t clearly visible? To go that extra step (no pun intended) every Nuvi 200 series touch screen system uses an easily readable 4.3 in. display, anti glare screen, and a white backlight, for maximum visibility, even at night. Convenience in a car navigational system is always key. In light of this, the Garmin Nuvi 200 series is easily mountable, and is preloaded with even city navigation resources such as possible points of interests, ATM locations, gas stations, hotels, restaurants, and more. If you are in need of an inexpensive way to go cross country, Garmin has your back. The Nuvi 200W GPS has many features that will come in handy for a long trip such as an anti theft device, touch screen, world travel clock, and the ability to quickly update your navigational directions, even if you change the original calculated route.
