On February 2nd, the sun will slowly inch above the carnival city of New Orleans. Soon, crowds will descend on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome  – which will fill with over seventy-five thousand fans by nightfall. Welcome to Super Bowl XLVII. As the Falcons, Ravens, Patriots, and 49ers continue their battle for dominance, the time has come for you to gear up too. Let’s take a detailed look at Sony 55” 1080p 240Hz 3D LED Smart TV, and see how it can bring this year’s game to life.

Ultra HD and OLED have gotten the lion’s share of the hype at CES, but one of the most intriguing ideas surrounding TV is how to make them ‘new’ again for consumers. Samsung’s Evolution Kit may provide an opportunity in the future for TV owners to upgrade and gain access to new features the company comes out with in later TV models. In other words, spending all that money on a high-end flat-panel can presumably get a new lease on life after this kit is placed on the back.

OLED Technology is finally here, and LG is leading the way. These feather-weight panels are incredibly thin, and deliver an unprecedented image experience from a display so thin. It's premium technology, so you can expect it to be expensive this year, but just like the flat panels of yesteryear, expect widespread adoption as these awesome displays become more affortable.

First up, let's begin with an overview of LG’s spectacular 55” 3D LED Smart TV, an outstanding device with one of the boldest and brightest screens in its class. Then, we’ll finish up with a look at Toshiba’s 32” LED HDTV – a high quality component that can now be purchased at a bargain of a price.

You can’t walk the show floor without either seeing something about Ultra HD (or 4K) or hearing somebody mention it, but one thing that hasn’t been mentioned as much is upconverting from Blu-ray to 4K. Sony presented what upconverted content looks like, and while it appears impressive, it harkens back to a time when DVD looked just a little closer to HD.

Cyber Monday makes its third straight return to Canada thanks to Futureshop.ca.

Did you know Future Shop was the first national retailer to bring Cyber Monday to Canada? It’s true. 

The Slingbox has been around for at least seven years, and the concept behind it hasn’t changed drastically in that time. Yet it still amazes me how many people have either never heard or it, or have trouble understanding what it actually does. The Slingbox SB500 and Slingbox 350 are the latest models, and they come four years after the previous ones first hit the market. Here’s what they do and how they do it.

You’ve probably seen by now all the media coverage about America’s most celebreated sales day, Black Friday, make its way north of the border in Canada thanks to retailers like Future Shop putting on huge sales. Black Friday does indeed make its fourth annual return to Future Shop in a major way: all stores are opening across Canada at 8:00 a.m. local time – some as early as 6:00 a.m.  EST at five stores in Toronto – giving customers an early start on the bargain shopping.
