What is the best Internet-Ready TV with everything under $2500?
  LG Cinema Screen 55LM6700
This TV is a smart, smart TV. It comes with everything. 3D with wide angle viewing (glasses are battery free and include 4 pairs), Smart TV Internet allowing you to stream movies, download apps, video, and access to browse the web. A cool feature is that you can watch 2D movies and shows in immersive 3D because of its conversion feature. It has backlighting and trumotion technology which makes sports and video games look even better because there is no motion blur. It's a lot to offer and the price isn't half bad.

What is the best TV for using with the Internet under $600?
  Vizio XVT323SV
Okay, here are the major details:
Razor LED backlighting with Smart Dimming
VIZIO Internet Apps
Built-in WiFi 802.11n dual-band
Bluetooth Universal Remote Control
Includes HULU Plus application
This TV has great picture quality, Hi Def sound and a great Internet package. You can watch on-demand movies, TV shows, networking (FB, Twitter, etc), music, photos, etc. The remote is nice because it has a bluetooth QWERTY keyboard and it's a universal remote. I'd personally prefer something a little bigger but it's a great price for all that it comes with.

What is the best TV with Internet service under $1500?
  LG Infinia 42LV5500
This LG has a great Internet package with room for downloading nearly 1,000 apps and you can browse numerous websites, stream movies, play games, etc. Unfortunately, the remote doesn't have a QWERTY keyboard but you can still use the motion sensor. The detail is stunning and color calibrations is pretty easy. Of course you can always use the picture adjustments. There is also an Intelligent Sensor that automatically makes the picture adjust for the lighting and color conditions in the room. Overall I think this TV is amazing and the Smart TV just makes it that much better.

What is the best Internet TV under $1000?
  Sony NSX-40GT
This TV has one of the best packages I've seen. I love that you can watch TV (satellite or cable) and you can surf the Internet simultaneously. The only downside is that you have to have Dish Network to search TV programming at the same time as your apps and other LAN connected electronics. You will have access to the following web applications as well:
Twitter: Keep in touch with people and get real-time updates.
Napster: MP3 downloads and unlimited on-demand music streaming.
Pandora: Free, personalized internet radio playing only the music you love.
Netflix: Instantly watch Hollywood movies and thousands of TV episodes.
Android Market: Access thousands of applications from the library of Android Apps.
NBA: Check stats while you watch the game. See standings, video highlights and more
The remote is pretty awesome as well and very easy to use. There's an optical finger sensor that controls the mouse pointer, scrolling, zooming, etc. and also has a full QWERTY keyboard. It's a pretty great package deal.

What is the best 3D TV under $550?
  Toshiba 32TL515U
This might be a great TV for your kids. It has great resolution, 3D, a dimming control for deeper images, and anti blur for better picture quality and fast motion video. It's ultra slim and very handsome. It mounts well on the well and if you choose to use the stand it is very sturdy. It also comes with a NetTV package with Yahoo widgets so that you can easily network with friends, post pictures, and stream movies. It's a great deal.

What is the best 3D TV under $1000?
  LG 50PM9700
Amazon is selling this for under $1,000 right now and after doing some research on it, it's one I would definitely jump on. I own a similar LG and the colors are bright and nearly perfect. It performs really well in both bright and dark rooms. Movies will never be viewed again after watching one on this. There is a Smart TV Internet, a motion sensitive remote, and the 3D performance, while not the best ever, is still something to brag about. Picture clarity is oustanding.

This TV is not without its flaws, however, the picture quality for both regular and 3D is excellent. It's ultra sleek and very nice looking, comes with and Internet suite, a Wi Fi dongle, and video processing is very strong. Black and gray levels, while sometimes inaccurate, doesn't take away from your viewing experience. I was disappointed to find out that the Panasonic does not offer 3D glasses at all but at least you can pick your own out. You'll love to watch movies on this in any way, shape, or form.

I love Panasonics. Their picture quality is outstanding and this one is by no means a loser. It has amazing color quality and a really cool THX movie mode. It can be placed anywhere in your home because it functions perfectly in well lit or dim rooms. 3D picture quality is as good as the 2D but as so many do, they only offer the one pair of 3D glasses. You'll also find a pretty cool Internet suite that is simple to use with lots of streaming options. As 3D plasmas go in this price range, you're looking at a great valued product.

This is a 55 inch LCD HDTV. It has beautiful Hi Def resolution. The display is clear and the detail is super sharp. Refresh rate is quick so motion is smooth and more natural.

Performance is outstanding and the style isn't half bad. It's definitely a great price.

best paranormal games to play on Wii?
  Calling
The Calling and Silent Hill are also great paranormal and scary games. You fend off spirits, can play with friends, solve puzzles, etc. It has a lot of fun things to investigate and different ways to use your remote such as a cell phone or a flashlight. They're not super hard but they can be addicting for sure.

best paranormal games to play on Wii?
  Alone in the Dark
This game is by no means, awesome, however, it is fun, has a good story line, and is creepy. I like how everything plays out. The Wii controls are harder to handle with this game in particular but I also it with PS3 and find that easier so my complaint there could be unwarranted. Would I pay $50 for it, not a chance but Amazon is offering it for cheap and I would totally buy it again at that price. It's worth it as long as it's $20 and under.

best sugar cookie recipe?
You said easy and that is what I'm all about. I found this recipe online and have been using it ever since.

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.

You can also vary this recipe by rolling out the dough and cutting it with shapes. It's nice to have a recipe that can be as easy or hard as you want it.

best dessert to make for Christmas Eve?
What about a Red Velvet Cheesecake? Sounds amazing but looks even better. This is a recipe I found online some months ago that I've been dying to try out.

Makes: 20 servings
Prep: 45 mins
Chill: 4 hrs
Cool: 1 hr 45 mins
Bake: 1 hr at 350°F

View Nutrition Facts
Ingredients

1 pound milk chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup butter
1 9 ounce package chocolate wafer cookies (40 to 45 cookies)
1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
1 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 8 ounce carton dairy sour cream
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 1 ounce bottle red food coloring (2 Tbsp.)
4 eggs
2 egg yolks
Chocolate leaves (optional)
Powdered sugar (optional)
Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
Fresh raspberries and/or small whole strawberries (optional)
Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate and 1/2 cup butter over low heat; transfer to a bowl and cool completely.
2. Place wafer cookies, chocolate pieces, almonds and brown sugar in a large food processor. Cover and process until finely ground. Add the 1/2 cup melted butter; cover and process until well combined. Transfer crumbs to a 10x3-inch springform pan with a removable bottom. Press crumbs onto bottom and up the sides of the pan, leaving a 1/2-inch space at the top of the pan. Set aside.
For filling:
3. In a very large mixing bowl, beat the cooled chocolate mixture, cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, buttermilk and red food coloring with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until combined. Add 4 eggs and 2 egg yolks all at once. Beat on low speed just until combined.
4. Pour filling into crumb-crust lined springform pan. Place springform pan in a shallow baking pan on the oven rack. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 1 hour, or until 2 inches of outside edge appear set when shaken gently.
5. Remove springform pan from baking pan. Cool cheesecake in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Use a small metal spatula to loosen cheesecake from sides of pan. Cool 30 minutes more. Remove sides of pan. Cool for 1 hour; cover and chill at least 4 hours.
6. To serve, use a paper doily to decoratively sift powdered sugar and cocoa powder on the top, if you like. Garnish the center with chocolate leaves and fresh raspberries, if you like. Clean knife between each cut. Makes 20 servings.
Bake and chill up to 24 hours. Garnish just before serving.

best flash cards or other system to teach toddler shapes/colors, etc.?
I would vote for making your own. There are books out there that have peak a boo doors for stuff like that but sometimes it's just fun to do something more. You could always get creative and cut shape out of construction paper and paste it to a 3x5 card or draw and color. I think your kids will respond regardless of who did the work. Maybe you could even do it with your kids and then the effort might be better received. What ever is more fun and works best for you. That's the key.

The consensus is correct. It won't matter where you look, you're going to pay the same price it's just a matter of deciding which one you might want. Honestly, you know what you're looking for so the $55 doesn't seem so steep. It's another product that I might not go used on, however, so that's something to consider.

Is it better to steam clean your carpets or shampoo them? What is the best steamer or shampooer?
  Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge, F5914-900
Actually, I personally think steam cleaning is the best option. Carpet shampooers use a foaming soap and saturates your carpet while a steam cleaner will use less liquid and sanitizes at the same time, all the while using less soap. Drying time is much faster and it gets much more dirt up. I've had professional cleaners tell me that the more often you do it the less often you'll actually have to, not to mention the easier it will be. I know people who never clean their carpets until it is so dirty that they have to. It take so much more time to get the stains and dirt out than it would if it was kept up on. I think it's recommended that the carpets be cleaned every 12-18 months. This carpet cleaner has been rated number 1 for the year 2011. It also happens to be a newer version of what my parents use (that I borrow regularly). It works great and you can seriously see a big difference in the cleanliness afterward.

What is a good digital camera with some advance features under $250?
  Fujifilm FinePix S2950 14 MP Digital Camera with Fujinon 18x Wide A...
Just for another option, this Fujifilm is another great camera. It helps to have a great camera but great pictures aren't because of the camera alone, most of the work put in and that then comes out is because of the person behind the camera. The thing I love most about this camera is its panorama shooting mode. You are also able to see through the viewfinder which is becoming rare. My other favorite feature is that you can do a lot of editing right on the camera itself. Definitely can save some time. Flash works great and the pictures come out looking beautiful. A beginner will easily be able to use the controls but a more advanced user enjoy the manual settings as well.

These get pretty great reviews online. I'm not sure if I've used them myself, I use whatever gets good reviews and is a good price for the most part. I think the paper is supposed to be quick drying which is really great when you're printing multiples and also helps eliminate bleeding from the colors. I think they look like a great option.

This is actually a really neat idea and something I have never considered for my phone before. I don't own one myself but it doesn't get bad reviews.

I think it will definitely provide you privacy but I'm not too sure if it will be too dark for personal freedom of use. Not a bad price, though, if you want to just give it a try.

It's awfully pricy but this is the one I'm working toward currently. My best friends mom has one and it prints the very best quality pictures I've seen that isn't bought professionally. Some of them come out even better now that I think about it. It's a heavy duty printer, for sure. I wonder, though, if the cost of the ink is worth it or if maybe purchasing from an outside vender for most pictures is better. Sorry, side thought. Great printer, though.

what innovation of an it product is the best?
  Apple iPad 3 MC705LL/A
I'd have to say the iPad, iPod, iPhone, etc. are all the very best innovations since the laptop. I can't believe how far technology has taken us. The iPad is basically a combination of a laptop and an iPhone without the ability to make phone calls. It's extremely function and versatile to use. You can use it as a reader, laptop (if you wish to word process you can get an external keyboard to help--or download a dictation application), you can use it to watch movies (we travel a lot and it's very handy for the plane), you can use it to listen to music (as you might an iPod you can connect it to a base unit with speakers), etc. There's no end to what you can do. It's a great product.

It balances all of my inconsiderate zones by moisturizing my dry areas and matting my oily ones. It also lasts all day so I'm not feeling the need to reapply. If you prefer, you can also use it over other foundation. It's a really great product.

When I curl my 5 year old daughters hair it also stays so much longer and that never happens even with layers and layers of hairspray. It's great and well within your budget!

Murad has a good reputation for their facial products and I hear that their acne complex is similar to that of Proactive. My sister used the Murad instead of the Proactive and was very happy with it.

My PH may be so different than hers, though, so it's really hard to compare our experiences. Most often, however, if you don't see proper results within a certain time frame you can return the package for a full refund. That's a pretty good deal.

Has anyone tried 'flavor tripping'? What was it like?
I've not tried it myself but this is what I know...the "miracle fruit" is native to West Africa and is not new. The reaction people are experiencing is from a protein called miraculin which binds with the taste buds and induces the sweetness when you eat acidic food. So far scientists have not found any dangers with eating the fruit. Be aware that not everyone likes it and it is pretty expensive. I think I saw that one berry went as high as $2.50! I've had friends say that they could eat Tobasco sauce and it would taste like a spicy donut. You can buy the berries from specially stores.

She's been through the trenches and knows what she's talking about. The stories she told were easy to relate to so it definitely made me want to follow some of the principles in here. Sometimes a breakup leads us to a better place and I think this book will help people find that way. If nothing else, definitely worth the read because it is interesting.

One of my favorite things...no recipe necessarily...is saute teriyaki chicken in a pan with a side of saute veggies such as zucchini, onion, mushroom, sometimes we add squash or asparagus. My husband generally cooks the chicken and then toward the end puts in some Kikoman teriyaki and simmers it all together. The veggies get sauted in butter with some onion powder, garlic powder, and I add pepper. I like a little spice to my selection but not everyone does. It's super light and very easy.

What is the best migraine medicine?
  ADVIL MIGRAINE LIQUI-GELS (40 Capsule)
This is my go-to for Migraines. It's been the only thing that has worked successfully almost 100% of the time. Admittedly, however, I've never used Exedrin but when you find something that works there's that tendency to stick with it. I don't know if it comes in a different form but I like the liquid gels.

What are the best cowboy boots for a woman?
  Rocket Dog Women's Slinger Boot,Brown,6 M US
I adore these boots. They are some of the cutest cowboy boots I've ever owned. They are perfect for wearing outside of your pants or with a skirt. The buckles around the boot itself are a perfect addition making the boot both delicate and strong. I love the black tip on the boot as well as the chunky heel. They're cute and a really great price.

What is the best pinot grigio under $25?
  Barefoot Cellars Pinot Grigio 1.50L
I love the Barefoot wines and the Pinot Grigio is no exception. The flavor is very crisp and refreshing. I generally prefer it when it is so cold it feels like it came out of the freezer. I love the flavor of apple and peach with just a touch of citrus. It's my favorite summer drink!

What is a good birthday gift for a 6 year old girl?
  Easy Bake Easy Bake Ultimate Oven - New 2011
My daughter turns 6 next year but even as a 5 year old she loves to help me bake. This is the product she has been wanting. They are so easy to use but much safer than playing in the big girl ovens. There are also products to make ice cream, marshmellows, etc. Girls love to be girls and whether it's playing with dolls, pretend, cooking, or the like, if there's a treat at the end you can't go wrong!

What are the most fabulous pumps under $100?
  Chinese Laundry Women's Haylie Pump,Black,8.5 M US
I love Chinese Laundry shoes. They are so cute and pretty inexpensive. These are absolutely adorable and I think the word sexy came up, I would definitely have to agree. The height is perfect and the frill in the front adds just enough decoration to complete your outfit for going out or staying in.

What's the best way to make my running shoes smell better?
  Dr. Scholl's Odor Destroyers Sport Spray 3.5 oz (99 g)
This is what my husband uses and he really likes it. It does really help the smell and prevents any fungus from growing in the shoe or on his feet. He's used it religiously for the past 2 years and neither one of us can complain!

What is the best flashlight to keep in my car?
  MAGLITE S2D986 Heavy-Duty 2-D Cell Flashlight, Purple
My husband actually started this trend in our home but when he first bought our truck he had it mounted to the floor so that in the event anything should happen or where ever he might be he could somehow be prepared. Well, I loved the idea so much, and obsessed over every little thing I might not be ready for he did the same in my Expedition and in our Jeep. I love it. I've never really had to use it but sometimes when I go out to my car at night, instead of during on the dome lights I'll use my flashlight just for fun. It's a great thing to have handy.

What type of clothes should I bring on a trip to Anchorage this time of year?
My brother is actually there now. He says that the weather is fabulous and sunny but there are days where it is chilly, especially evenings. He often wears shorts and t-shirts during the day and in the evening just adds a hoodie and some boots. I would pack for every occasion just to be safe. It would be a shame to get out there and want for everything you don't have.

best perfume for women?
  Pink Sugar by Aquolina for Women - 3.4 Ounce EDT Spray
This is a really fun perfume and the packaging is almost as good as the smell! I love that, although, sweet it also has a bit of a spicy scent. My husband loves it when I wear this. It's not an overpowering scent but definitely attracts attention from those who smell it. For something that's basically a type of candy, it certainly is not made for children. It's a sweet, flirty scent definitely made for adults!

What is the best bakeware?
  Simply Calphalon Nonstick 6-Piece Bakeware Set
I have purchased something very similar to this and love it. Comes with everything you could possibly need. Two round cake pans, a bread pan, a larger cake pan, cookie sheet, and cupcake pan. Everything you'll need for whatever it is you're making. They are perfect for cooking and not having your food stick. My cakes always come out in one whole piece and the cookies come off easily. Often times I can just wipe the cookie sheet off and bam I'm done. They're a great set.

best baby stationary?
  Baby Seuss Invitations
This is a cute Doctor Seuss invitation for a shower. The colors are great and the keepsake afterwards is adorable. I think both mother and guest will love to receive one of these. They come in a box of 8 with matching envelopes. You could even go so far as to have it a Seuss theme with cute rhyming games, etc. It would be different and fun for sure.

best vibration platform machines?
  Confidence Slim Full Body Vibration Platform Fitness Machine
I have scoliosis and have been having some pain in recent months making it difficult to work out let alone run. My doctor said that a low impact workout that might also massage is a vibration platform machine and he was right. It's been my best friend since I bought it. I was feeling really down and tired but now I'm feeling better and very much alive. My back isn't perfect and I suspect never will be but I'm rebuilding my muscles and keeping active in the best way that I know how and it's great. This is a miracle machine!

best step machines?
  Stamina InStride Pro Electronic Stepper
This is a great stepper and as an added bonus it comes with light and medium resistance bands as well as a heart rate monitor and DVD. It was very easy to put together and the DVD is nice because it's only a 10 minute workout. If I need longer I generally do my own variation of things but other wise a 10 minute workout is perfect for the morning and then again in the evening. I have 3 little ones so unless I get up at 4 am I don't get a lot of the so desired alone time for a longer workout. I've also heard that breaking up your workouts into 10 minute stints can burn fat longer and faster. The stepper does have a tendency to squeak from time to time but I have a can of WD40 that helps so it's not a big issue. I think this is a great tool for any person.

best musical instruments for younger kids?
  Plan Toy Solid Wood Drum
My kids love to play music and this drum is one of a kind. It was a gift from my parents for the kids and when we pulled it out of the box the whole family immediately took to it. The really neat thing about it is that the cuts in the wood make for different sounds so it's not just one sound you're hearing, you're creating lots of musical sounds with it. We've owned it for over a year and if something ever does happen to it we will be sure to buy another. It's very entertaining and very durable.

best electronic English dictionary?
  Franklin LM6000b Speaking Language Master
When I purchased this some years ago I do so because of the size, which may be a turn off for some people, but I wanted to be able to type easily, quickly, and efficiently and to have a large screen so that I wouldn't have to squint anymore than I already to without my glasses. It's all very clear and has been very helpful for the whole family. There are also word games that are kind of fun not to mention the games the family and I have created to try and increase our vocabulary. It's been a lot of fun. I have a friend who has taken in an exchange student and he found it very useful to learn the language. I think they have something similar to learn foreign languages. Might be something I'll look into later. Meanwhile, this one is great and very durable. Great buy.

best office calculator?
  HP 12c Financial Calculator (12C#ABA)
This calculator is a pretty basic financial calculator compared to the TI 83 but it has all the features you would need for the equations you'd be doing in such classes. I bought it for my calculus classes and then it panned out for my accounting as well. It works well, it's very compact, and is a great value.

What is the best electric razor?
  Panasonic ES8243A Arc IV Nano Men's Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaver, Blue
This is what I bought for my husband and he loves it. It shaves very fast and effectively and doesn't dry or irritate his skin. I was surprised by how long the battery lasts on this too. We went to California for a small vacation and he forgot his charger but it lasted all 5 days that we were there. Nice, clean shave.

I am considering a Pentax K5 camera and want to hear opinions.
  Canon EOS 60D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD and E...
This is not necessarily in the same league as your K5, maybe just a small step down but it does have most of the same features as the Canon 7D and therefore also the K5. If you want to go based on price maybe this is also a good option. The thing that you will see for the most part is that the body is more plastic than metal so it puts it out of the enthusiast/professional bracket. If body type doesn't matter it might be a good choice as well. Just trying to throw out some ideas for you.

What is the best bath brush?
  AquaBella Long Handle Bath Brush (Medium-Soft)Colors may vary
I love this bath brush. It pretty much works like any other bath brush but it is very soft and the handle is plastic which means I don't have to replace it as often as the ones with the wood handles. My wood handled ones always looked really nice but they tended to mold very quickly even when they were hanging to dry. With this I can keep it twice as long before replacing it for sanitary reasons.

What is the best shampoo + conditioner?
  Pantene Pro-V 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner, Classic Care, Packagi...
I know it sounds silly but I love Pantene 2 in 1 shampoo plus conditioner. I don't feel the traditional waxy build up that some store bought brands leave behind (although I'm sure it's there), but I do get extra soft, well moisturized, clean and manageable hair. I love Pantene products and this particular one stands in a category of its own.

best tripod for DSLR
  Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod Legs (Black)
This tripod is one of a kind. I love that you can swivel the head in so many directions and angles. It makes for photographing so much easier and definitely more fun. It's made of aluminum and is very durable. It also has the ability to get you within inches from the ground. It has a great weight capacity. It's very sturdy and really not a bad price. I'm not a professional photographer by any means but from the books I've read by some terrific photographers this is one of the best for enthusiasts or beginners who wish to grow in their craft. Great tripod.

What are your fisheye lens tips and tricks?
I have purchased my first fisheye lens for my Nikon and I'm really excited about it. I've never used one before, however, but love the pictures I've found and I'm inspired but scared too. Can anyone help me with tips or tricks of the trade so that I can get my lens to perform at it's best? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
