Vizio M401i-A3
40 Inch Smart LED TV 8.5/10 By Steve Holdgren The picture on this TV will depend a lot on the picture mode you select. We recommend you use the “Calibrated” Picture Mode if you are not going to professionally calibrate the TV. It’s actually pretty solid. Black levels are reasonably saturated, and the TV certainly […]
Samsung UN32F5000
32 Inch LED TV 9/10 By Steve Holdgren At less than $300 this is going to be a crowd-pleaser all year. Side angle viewing is better than most LED TVs of this price range due to the clearer screen. Appearance and design are also much better than the competition in the 32 inch size range. […]
LG 42LN5400
42 inch LED TV 8.5/10 By Steve Holdgren The LN5400 series features direct lit LED backlighing rather than the more common edge lit LED variety. It can help produce a better picture through local dimming, but this TV does not contain that feature. The picture is bright and well lit. Colors are not as true […]

Sunpak 620
Budget Tripod 7/10 By Brian Jones This is going to be the overall budget option for the tripod list. This is a far from fully featured tripod, but it would be a great choice to someone who is not sure if they will actually use a tripod. It is very lightweight, so bringing it on […]
Joby GorillaPod Micro 250
Mini Point and Shoot Tripod 7.5/10 By Brian Jones Joby came up with a very unique design to address a very specific problem. Point and shoot users are less likely to carry any sort of tripod, even if it is a relatively small tripod. What should a point and shoot user do to fix this […]

Joby GorillaPod Focus
Flexible Tripod 8/10 By Brian Jones This tripod from Joby is a bit of a step up from some of the others on the list. This one is focused on high end cameras instead of point and shoot cameras. The biggest difference is the ball-head mount. This allows for very specific adjustments to get the […]
Amazon Basics Tripod
60-inch Stand Tripod 8.5/10 By Brian Jones The Amazon Basics tripod is exactly that. A very basic tripod that will have no trouble getting most jobs done and it comes at a very cheap price. This is not going to compete with a full featured tripod on any day of the week, but it will […]
Ravelli Professional
65-inch Stand Tripod 8.5/10 By Brian Jones This tripod from Ravelli bridges the gap between inexpensive and professional tripods. It is pretty feature heavy for being offered at a budget price.

Sony XBR-65X900A
65″ 4K LED TV 9/10 By Steve Holdgren OK so it’s not fair really to include this TV right? It’s got 4 times the resolution of the other TVs in the list. So it’s not HDTV but UHD (Ultra High Def). Prices have come down somewhat and the picture quality is outstanding as is the […]
