Bought the Belkin 750VA UPS from today's sale. Good deal at $50, goes for over $100 from memoryexpress.

I looked at the UPS, but everything else I have bought with the Belkin name has just been craptacular- I had to pass.

I had one from them before and it worked fine for the life of the batteries, so though it was worth another chance for the price.
But normally I agree I avoid Belkin.

I usually don't like 22" monitors, they all use TN panels as far as I know, and I like the quality of S-IPS panels (often used in 20" widescreen LCDs) more.. It's just different types of technology in making the LCD.
Plus at 22" with the same 1680 x 1050 resolution, that's almost too big for that resolution, I like 20" at that resolution or 1920 x 1200 of the 24".
The 2007FPW is a much better screen, especailly for gaming. It's more $$ of course though.

They've got the digital picture frames available today. I picked one up as a gift for my parents.

Yeah, the 10.5" digital picture frame for $150 is nice.
I'm really tempted to get that 42" LCD TV for $700 though.
Damn you Dell! 
OK Photon- please tell me why I shouldn't buy that TV.

The TV is very tempting, if it had a card slot of USB I would pick up two and use them as picture frames like that.

If anyone is looking for a new mp3 player, that Sandisk Sansa that they have on today is an awesome deal on an awesome player.
I bought it for my gf about a month ago now and she just loves it and the battery takes her almost through two full 11 hour work days! I paid $100 for it on sale at Future Shop.

I pulled the trigger on the TV.
Majority of the reviews seem good.

Is it worth buying a TV that is 720p though?
I am trying to decide.

If you primarily watch broadcast TV, or aren't planning on buying a Blu-ray/HD-DVD right away, then 720p is OK.
I would buy this as a "transition" TV. Buy this, and get an HD cable box. Wait 2 years for technology to catch up and standardize, and then buy a $3000 TV. Then this becomes the bedroom TV.

Yeah, I'm happy with my 720p TV until the format war gets sorted. And that could take awhile...

I just got a Shaw digital/PVR box 1/2 year ago. Would I gain much by getting a HD.
