Philips AJ3600/37

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:41:49 -0400

The Philips AJ3600/37 is a low mid-cost alarm clock radio. This clock has features that set it apart from both the other clocks in this product line, the AJ3231/37 and the AJ3540/37. For example, in addition to its backlit LCD display, this alarm clock offers time projection. On any surface at any angle, you can have the time projected. The AJ3600/37 adjusts the focus as needed, so that this projection comes out as clearly as possible (the projected image can also be rotated and reversed). Another feature unique to this clock is the Gentle Wake feature, which consists of a gradually increasing alarm volume, as opposed to one loud jarring alarm volume. The Repeat Alarm feature, standard on this product line, will repeat the alarm after a few minutes, in case you need some more time to snooze. The AJ3600/37 also has digital radio tuning with presets, so that you can easily find your favorite stations.

Philips 221S3SB/27

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:59:30 -0400

The Philips 221S3SB/27 is a TFT LCD computer monitor that is one step over an entry-level monitor. Unlike the lower level monitors, the 221S3SB/27 offers several connectivity options and the capability to display videos at an optimal full high definition resolution. However, what separates the 221S3SB/27 from more premium models is its lack of LED backlighting, which means it’s less energy efficient; and its inability to be swiveled or pivoted, though it can still be tilted. Another feature that helps separate this monitor from entry-level units is TrueVision. This is a proprietary Philips technology that allows the display to provide optimal video output that is four-times better than a traditional entry-level monitor. To the user, this translates to less blurs, reduced distortion, and more stark colors. In addition, this Philips display supports widescreen aspect ratios, which means films can be watched in their original, widescreen format.

Philips 221S3LSB/27

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:59:31 -0400

The Philips 221S3LSB/27 is a 22” LED LCD computer monitor released as a downgrade from the 221S3LCB/27. It offers the same high definition video capabilities so that users can watch Blu-rays and DVDs, play games, and view images at their highest resolution. However, the 221S3LSB/27 sacrifices several convenience related features like height adjustment, pivot, and swivel. Instead it just keeps a simple tilt function so users can tilt the screen higher or lower, depending on the height of their own seat. Despite this downgrade, the 221S3LSB/27 still comes packed with features. One of these is LED backlighting, which gives it superior energy efficiency for saving money, and a higher contrast ratio for more natural video output. There is also the capability to adjust the aspect ratio from 4:3 to widescreen. This means users can view movies in the same format which is used in movie theaters.

Philips 241P3EB/27

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:59:31 -0400

The Philips 221S3SB/27 is a TFT LCD computer monitor released as a more affordable 24” monitor versus the superior 241P3LEB/27 and 241P3LYEB/27. Instead of relying on LED backlighting, which is more energy efficiency and also capable of producing better video output, this monitor relies on a traditional TFT LCD display. In addition, it does away with a USB hub, but maintains the standard VGA and DVI ports needed to connect to most modern computers. Like its superior peers, the 241P3EB/27 can still process high quality DVD and Blu-ray videos, and 3D games, and display them at a full HD resolution. Furthermore, this monitor offers pivot, tilt, and swivel adjustment options, so users can move the screen in various ways to get a more optimal viewing angle. One of the most important features inherited though are speakers, meaning users don’t have to invest in headphones or external speakers, though there are available ports for users who opt for that option.

NetTV allows you access to VUDU, Netflix, and Pandora (for music streaming), as well as other media sites.

Philips DC315/37

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:41:48 -0400

The Philips DC315/37 is a mid-cost alarm clock/docking station. In promotion, Philips emphasizes the fact that you can dock your iPod/iPhone on the DC315/37 (even in the iPod/iPhone's case), thereby allowing you to use your iPod/iPhone content as wake-up music. Docking on the DC315/37 also charges your iPod/iPhone. You can also choose to wake up to FM radio (which you can program 20 presets for), or MP3s from your MP3 player (via the MP3 Link feature). The DC315/37 also has dual alarm capability, which allows you to set two different alarm times for you and your partner. You can choose different settings for weekends and weekdays. The Gentle Wake feature allows you to be slowly jostled out of bed by a gradually louder alarm tone, rather than a consistently loud one. This alarm clock is a step up from the lower cost DC220/37 in that it has a pair of 4 watt speakers (as opposed to the DC220/37's pair of 2.5 watt speakers). However, this alarm clock lacks the higher cost DC320/37's pair of 6 watt speakers, PureDigital sound, remote control, and wooX loudspeaker technology, which makes for a deeper, more solid bass sound.

Features

Dual alarm w/ weekend/weekday settings

Philips SHE6000/28

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 17:53:09 -0400

Philps SHE6000/28 is an entry-level set of in-ear headphones with a unique feature design that reflects sound to emulate a surround-sound experience. They have a larger driver (13.5mm) than other Philips entry models, and this helps the surround feature as well as overall clarity. These come with four different sizes of rubber earcups, which provide comfort and help to isolate sound. Flexible housing connections help to protect the cable connections from physical damage. They also include a storage pouch for portability, and the cord length is 1.2 metres. These are available in white, but that version has a different model number. See below.

Features

13.5mm driver

Philips MCD900

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:31:58 -0400

The Philips MCD900 is one of two hi-fi micro SoundSphere systems (MCD900, MCi900) announced by Philips Spanish division in early 2010. Both systems feature a central receiver with a CD/DVD player and USB connection, and two SoundSphere speakers both made out of a single piece of aluminum. What’s unusual about the MCD900 and its peer is that each speaker hosts a tweeter that floats on top of it—unlike most models, where the tweeter is embedded within. According to Philips, the free-floating tweeter “radiates [sound] in all directions to give a deeper, wider, sound impression.” As the weaker model, the MCD900 supports 100W of RMS power, and it can play songs directly from a USB hard drive.

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:41:52 -0400

The Philips SensoTouch 1180X is a direct upgrade from the 1150X electric shaver. It adds along a 5-level battery indicator, an included carrying pouch, and a stronger battery that can provide up to 17 days of use (versus 14). Like its predecessor, the SensoTouch 1180X uses a DualPrecision system with dual blades and a GyroFlex 2D contour to ensure a close shave with minimal pressure and irritation. And as the unit is too built for both wet and dry use, it can be used under any condition. Included with the shaver is a precision trimmer, a charging station, and a SkinGlide surface for a close shave without extra effort. Like the original the Philips SensoTouch 1180X is also praised by users for being ultra-quiet in addition to providing a close shave.

Philips 5000 Series

Tue, 27 May 2008 10:42:13 -0400

The 5000 Series from Philips is their 2008 mid-range line of high-definition LCD televisions and feature a 1080p native resolution. This line is comparable to other mid-range sets with better picture quality, and improved specifications above the entry-level models, but missing the distinguishing feature of the high-end sets, which is the 120Hz processing (added to 2009 models). Improved beyond the 3000 series is the use of a more advanced image processing engine, Pixel Pure 3, and the inclusion of 4 speakers instead of 2. The high-end 7000 series adds the aforementioned 120Hz mode. The built in USB port allows access to jpeg photos and mp3 music from most USB sticks with an easy to use on screen browser. Both the 3600 and 5000 Series use the same display panels, it is the processing, speakers and extra inputs that differentiate the two. The 2009 models have added 120Hz processing, a Dolby Digital dts-HD output for easy connection to a home theater system and the four HDMI inputs have Easylink for a full HD connection allowing one remote to control all compatible devices.

Specs

1080p native resolution
5ms response time
500 cd/m2 brightness
29,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
4 speakers (including 2 subwoofers) at a total of 25 watts

Philips SPA3210/27

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:41:56 -0400

The Philips SPA3210/27 is a 2.0-channel audio system designed for laptops and notebooks. Unlike the entry-level SPA2210/27, the SPA3210/27 offers some potential for pass, as it uses a bass-reflex system with two 2” bass-radiators per speaker. The result is a total 10W output with greater bass and treble, though it’s not much compared to a high-powered system. Like its counterpart, the unit accepts power from a USB interface and audio from a stereo jack. Users say they function well for privately listening to music and for work-related situations. However, they’re not recommended for a party.

Features

2.0-Channel Laptop Speaker System
Designed for Laptops/Notebooks

2" x2 Bass Radiators (Each)
