With the advent of HDTV, Blu-ray Disc, HD DVD and high res gaming consoles, now is the time to bring your home theater up to state of the art. Pioneer's new KURO ('kuro" derives from the Japanese word for "black") line of flat-panel TVs offers the consumer industry's deepest, most intense blacks on a TV screen. The result is a wider color palate and more detail that brings a picture to life. Couple this with its anti-reflective screen and a "new" room light sensor that automatically adjusts the picture for daytime or nighttime viewing and you'll be seeing TV like never before. To help prevent image retention or burn-in on the television, a seamless "orbiter" continually shifts the entire onscreen image gradually over time. And if you must fiddle with the picture adjustment settings, the television also lets you compare a before and after picture, before you save the new settings.

NAVIGON® 7100 GPS

MSRP: $649

NAVIGON®

Most guys would rather run out of gas before stopping to ask for directions. With this captivating, piano-black personal navigation device, you'll be hard-pressed to get lost or run out of gas. The featherweight GPS boasts a sizeable 4.3-inch touch-screen that lets you easily view maps across North America in traditional 2D or in its patented 3D Reality View™ with real world sign text, which is especially helpful when trying to negotiate complex intersections. Literally millions of "points of interest" -- from gas stations and parking lots to Zagat®-rated restaurants and hotels -- are built in to the program. Hands-free calling via Bluetooth sets this apart from the GPS pack as does its voice-guided navigation with spoken street names. Best yet, it includes subscription-free lifetime traffic service that works right out of the box. The device easily detaches from the car mount so you can pop it into your pocket to plan your next route over dinner at one of the recommended restaurants.
