DT’s ‘Better Than Socks’ Holiday Giveaway: Sceptre 32-inch 3D LED TV

By Caleb Denison December 22, 2012

Is there any better holiday gift than a TV? Not as far as we’re concerned. That’s why we’re pretty excited to be giving one away this year.

Up for grabs is a Sceptre E320BV-FHDD 32-inch 3D LCD HDTV. It offers 1080p resolution, 60Hz native refresh rate, three HDMI inputs, a USB port, 3D capability, and comes with two pair of passive 3D glasses in the box. This TV also works well as a computer monitor, thanks to a dedicated RGB input.

At less than 2-inches thick, this TV should look great mounted on the wall, or you can opt to set it up on its included stand. However you install it, this unit should make for a great bedroom, office or bonus room TV.

To put your name in the hat, just leave a comment below telling us where this TV would go in your home and/or what TV it would replace. We’ll close the contest and announce the winner on December 30, 2012.

Don’t forget to check out the rest of DT’s “Better Than Socks” Holiday Giveaways all month long. Good luck!

The 10 best short throw and ultra short throw projectors

The BenQ V5000i in a living room.

Deciding on which home theater projector to put in your house can come down to one little word: "throw." Long throw, standard throw, short throw, and ultra short throw (UST) are all types of projectors, and they all vary in terms of how much space or distance you need to project a big, beautiful, movie theater-like picture at home.

And while different manufacturers and screen makers vary on the distances needed for each, generally speaking, for a 100-inch image (diagonal), a long- or standard-throw projector could need anywhere from around 8 to 10 feet or more, a short-throw sits around the 3- to 5-foot range, and UST projectors require the least at anywhere between 3 to 20 inches.

IPS and VA displays are two of the most common and enduring LCD display types, with years of use in cutting-edge monitors and televisions, and they're still competing with the likes of modern OLED displays today. They've been enhanced over the years, with the latest generations of Mini-LED backlighting helping LCDs remain competitive and outputting incredible brightness and contrast, with faster refresh rates and response times than ever before.

But if you're looking to buy one of these more-traditional display types, with an In-plane switching (or IPS) or Vertical Alignment (or VA) TV or monitor, which should you pick? There are advantages and disadvantages to each, so let's take a closer look at them both to see which might be right for you.

What is Google TV? Here’s everything you need to know

Google TV is one of the best streaming platforms, and it’s available on a wide range of devices. From smart TVs to plug-and-play HDMI gadgets like the Chromecast with Google TV 4K and HD models, you can do all kinds of cool things with Google TV. Of course, streaming movies and shows from the likes of Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video is the most basic thing this web-connected OS can do.

You can also use Google TV to cast content from a mobile device to your TV, and can even call upon Google Assistant to control some of your smart home devices. We love that Google TV keeps tabs on your viewing history, too, in order to curate suggested movies and shows right on the home page.
