Looking for a color laser printer for small business. Can you suggest one under $500?
  HP Laserjet CE866A
This is an excellent multifunctional tool with scanning, copying, faxing, and printing in one solid machine. It prints excellent documents and photos with professional quality, however, it is not one of the fastest on the market. It does feature cloud printing, however, and the ability to connect by USB, Ethernet, or wireless.

Can you help me find the best TV for watching movies, around 25 - 29 inches?
  LG 26LS3500
I bought this TV to replace another TV I bought a few years ago and this one really just shines. The picture is very clear and images are sharp. I might go a little bigger next time but this one does well in my bedroom. My husband and I don't watch a lot of TV shows but we do enjoy a good movie in bed from time to time. I was really impressed by how great this TV was considering its small price tag.

  Panasonic TC-P58VT25
Love this TV. My husband just bought it for our movie room. It's a high premium TV for a great value. It utilizes phosphor science that reduces the lag time for the phosphor to go back to being dark. It makes for a better quality picture, outstanding images, and a lack of ghosting in fast scenes. It also boost the colors and imaging for your 3D experience. Really the best TV I've ever seen.

Both the 2D and 3D viewing modes are outstanding. The package includes active shutter 3D gasses.

This is a superb choice for your price point. I love to read and since I've purchased this device, I read more than I ever did before. The screen is next to flawless and doesn't bother my eyes.

Is there anything better than the dell ultrasharp monitor?
  Lenovo ThinkVision L2440P
This monitor is very similar to the Dell. They both offer brightness of 300 candelas, same pixel pitch, same viewing angles, same typical contrast ratio of 1000:1, similar power consumption, etc. The biggest difference between the screens is that the Lenovo offers a TN panel while the Dell offers a IPS. IPS is the most popular because it offers better image quality and color accuracy while the TN is the most widely used because it is less expensive and offers faster response times. With that said, the Lenovo offers a faster response time of 2ms while the Dell is 8ms. Still not bad but if you game you might want the Lenovo instead.

Suggestions for a monitor with the highest contrast ratio?
  BenQ V2420H
Be careful with contrast ratios. They are generally a marketing tool and not one that is easy to decifer. They are basically a measurement in the difference of brightness and darkness from a certain portion on the screen. For starters, consider that when they test, manufacturers are in a studio room with one particular type of light. When you purchase your TV you will be in a real life situation with different types of light, such as the sun, the setting sun, evening darkness, and then ambient light from your home. This will make a difference on the contrast you thought you were getting. The other problem with measuring contrast is that it varies throughout the screen due to the variations in the lighting from behind the panel. Manufacturers use the highest contrast ratio that they can find on the screen. I personally would look for typical ratios such as 1000:1 as opposed to more dynamic numbers.

With all of that said, this monitor is very bold providing sharp and clear images without light leakage. It has a high dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000,000:1 for your super bright whites and intense, deep blacks.

This is a rich monitor that offers terrific performance. It has the excellent resolution that you're looking for and should expect that will make images pop. You will notice that your movies will have deeper blacks, vibrant and bright colors, and has a variety of connectivity options. The price seems a bit high but you're getting excellent quality and phenomenal pixelation.

When you're not using the earbuds they magnetically collapse into the band for safe keeping. These are an excellent pair I would highly recommend.

Best wired headset for PC gaming?

These are a great wired pair with large ear cups that provide a comfortable fit and better sound. They produce deep base for both games and music and with games the effects are very dramtatic and realistic sounding. Features a mic monitor so you know how loud you are actually talking...or yelling and they can connect to the TV or your sound system as well as Xbox and PC. Your cord is roughly 16 feet long so hopefully they won't be in your way while your playing. I have a tendency to flail around so this is very beneficial for me.

I think for gaming an LCD or LED would be very beneficial. The energy that a game requires will be best used with an energy efficient HDTV. The LED and LCDs also generally have more viewing angles and are better in rooms that are very bright or very dim. I struggled to find an awesome 32 inch but here is an amazing 37 inch and might even be better for you because of its size. Playing games on a larger screen can't be bad. It's a great price too.

What is the best DSLR for blowing up big prints?
  Nikon D3X 24.5MP FX CMOS Digital SLR with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only)
If you don't have a price range in mind I would consider this camera. It's the best overall DSLR and the nice thing about blowing up prints is that you can really use any camera. I, personally, wouldn't get a DSLR below 12 MP. I feel like 12 MP -18 MP is the perfect range for detail. With a minimum of 12 MP your blown up photos will still be as striking as the original, meaning you won't have to sacrifice quality. This camera goes above and beyond, however. You get 24.5 MP and it's extremely durable with robust reliability. There are so many features and it offers serious image quality. Pricey, yet but it is the best.

Best 50 to 54 inch 3D TV under $1350?
  Panasonic VIERA TC-P50ST50
This TV is not well known for its design or its included features (no 3D glasses and fewer picture controls than others) but what it does offer is awesome 3D quality picture and sound. The colors are deep and vibrant. It also features very good video processing and a simple Internet suite with lots of extras. If you can deal with the fact that it's not the most visually appealing TV on the market, then I think this would be a great purchase for its picture quality in both 2D and 3D as well as its better than average Internet package.

Best 25 to 29 inch TV for Gaming under $500
  Samsung LN26D450
Picture quality in HD mode with the help of an HDMI cable is good, much better than without but the anti glare screen seems to inhibit its real potential. Color is great. TV is light and thin and the lines are clean. It's a great looking television. This TV features AnyNet technology which allows Samsung devices to communicate and sharing of remotes. It also comes with SRS TruSound HD, 3 HDMI inputs, and the ability to watch video from a USB thumb drive. Overall, while this TV may require some calibration, it has a good feature set and offers quality in a small size and price range. It screams value.

best DSLR camera for Architecture photography under $2000?
  Canon EOS 7D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Gray Market) with 3-inc...
This camera would be right up your alley. Exactly what I would use for my Architecture shooting. The 7D offers so many features that it really could be the last camera for some people. It features speed of 8fps, dual Digic IV processors, wireless flash control, and 100 percent LCD screen coverage. It has 18 megapixels with an ISO range of 100-6400 and expands to 12,800. Autofocus is a 19 point system and has the ability to shoot shallow depths without losing focus. The camera looks large but it's very lightweight and strong made of magnesium alloy. Button placement makes for easy and fast maneuvering. I think it's the very best for your needs.

best dslr camera for astronomy under $1500?
  Sony Alpha DSLR-A550 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
When it comes to low light environments, such as photographing the stars or the evening sky, nothing comes close to the clarity this Sony will provide. This camera was specifically designed for speed and functionality so when you're not shooting at night, the camera will also perform superbly for your everyday photos. Shutter speed performs at 4fps so it's quick. It also features a smile shutter and face detections so your portraits and actions shots will also be amazing. The camera is small and light so even if you're not using a tripod or monopod your arms won't slow you down. Don't forget your telephoto lens.

best DSLR camera for concerts under $1250?
  Nikon D60 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX...
This camera offers fast response and high quality images in a light weight package. It will not be a burden during your concert events and it will provide the quality images you are looking for. It is extremely user friendly and the menu options are easy to maneuver so you won't miss any of those all important shots. Most importantly, this camera can be easily manipulated to make your indoor or outdoor shots (with all of its funky lighting) optimal. Compensate lighting with ISO up to 3200, change the exposure in increments of 1/3, steady your shots with a monopod or set it on a seat and you will always get your shot. Make good use of your continuous shooting as well. If you ever find yourself in the unfriendliest of seats (far back), make sure you add a lens, such as the 55- 200mm and you will never have to sacrifice.

best dslr camera for tennis games under $1000?
  Nikon D60 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX...
For good quality actions shots you will want this camera for its response time and for its fast shutter speeds. It offers 10 megapixels, 3 fps continuous shooting (perfect for tennis), an easy to navigate menu (important for those moments when you need to transition quickly), and it is easily one of the lightest DSLRs I've had the pleasure of shooting with. This camera is extremely user friendly. A definite must for you sporting events.

best dslr camera for aviation shots under $850?
  Canon EOS Rebel T1i (500D) Digital SLR Kit w/EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6...
This is a fast camera that will definitely help you capture those aviation shots. It's one of the best cameras for action shots and for shooting in bright or low light situations. The body itself is extremely light so holding it up or at odd angles won't easily make you tired. It also has HD video recording. Images are beautiful and look magazine ready. I love the quality and performance of this camera and because of its inexpensive price tag, you have lots of play room for new lenses.
