Giveaway: Win a Toshiba 47″ 3D TV AND 3D Wifi Blu-Ray Player
I believe in going big or going home.
And if I’m going to have an Oscar viewing party – I’m going to do anything in my power to make sure it’s the best one on the block.
So, check this out. For your future big TV nights, we’re giving away BOTH a Toshiba 47″ 1080p 3D TV and a Toshiba 3D Blu-ray player.
The Toshiba BDX5200 blu-ray player has built-in Wi-Fi, 3D compatibility, a simple user interface, and all the streaming media services my happiness requires, including Netflix, Vudu, and Pandora. The Toshiba TL515U 3D TV has crazy good picture quality, even screen uniformity and very good video processing. Its Internet suite includes built-in Wi-Fi. Passive 3D on this TV has minimal crosstalk, is brighter than active, and Toshiba includes four pairs of lightweight, non-powered 3D glasses with the TV.

Perhaps I didn’t mention it, but I was supposed to be at CES this year — and then my life (tragically) got in the way.
