lcd flat screen tv, electronic photo gadgetsOur goal for 2010 is to have a nice LCD flat screen TV in everyone's bedroom so each of us can watch whatever we want whenever we want so we don't disturb anyone else. Both my husband and I work at home and sometimes our work drags into the evening, and we don't want to have to put limits on the kids' TV watching because some of it is actually really good for them, like their Wii games and other video games that help build their eye-hand coordination, and in the case of Wii games, teach them some important skills and techniques for the games that are based on real activities, like golf and tennis.

The LCD flat screen TVs are just wonderful and we're making sure that each of them has a built in DVD player, too. When the DVD players are built in, it's one less thing to plug into the wall and dust. There are some incredible documentary DVDs out there and our kids love all things science. We go to the library several times a month and they get several sets to share among us. Up until now we have watched them together and it's been a chore to jockey our schedules, but when we get LCD flat screen TVs for each of us, schedules will be no problem.

The great thing about the LCD flat screen TVs is how portable they are. They are so lightweight. The one shown here is our first purchase for a bedroom, and it only weighs 19 pounds, so it's easy to pick up and move around. This is a Coby 22" LCD HDTV/DVD Combination and it's going into our daughter's room because she drew the longest straw. In two months, we'll be able to buy our son one, and I hope that the same model is available. This one looks just perfect for a medium sized LCD flat screen TV and this one has so many features I haven't seen on other HDTVs. It has slots so we can take memory sticks or cards right from the camera and view the pictures on the TV. I think it will even play .AVI files, too, because it takes USB flash drives, too.

The unit is a good value, especially when it supports all DVDs and CDs. It comes with a port for headsets, too, and add on speakers down the road. We found it at Electronic Photo Gadgets at www.electronicphotogadgets.com/ and bookmarked the site because we have to get two more LCD flat screen TVs to meet our goal for the year, one will work hard and happily to meet.
