ALMOST GAMETIME: Insignia™ Advanced 55" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV

Jacob-INSG — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:09:49 GMT

Sure you’ve seen the BIG GAME every year since you can remember, but as the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints clash this Sunday, you’ll wonder how you ever watched it without the Insignia Advanced Series 55” 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV. Use the crystal clear 1080p resolution to watch Peyton Manning call an audible, the lightning fast 120Hz refresh rate to watch Pierre Thomas break free from the secondary and the enormous 55-inch screen to immerse yourself in the biggest game of the year. The wide 176-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles will let you invite over all your friends for the ultimate game party and make every seat the best in the house, and the Energy Star qualified design will make you feel like the smartest guy in face paint.

It’s almost game time, so hike on down to your local Best Buy store to kick off your game party in style.

Little Buddy Child Tracker Pricing Plans and Associated Usage Scenarios

Jacob-INSG — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:32:53 GMT

We are not surprised by the interest in the Insignia™ Little Buddy Child Tracker. As we dialogue with customers we have noticed that many have questions around the pricing plans. So, I’d like to offer a couple of simple scenarios and the pricing options that were developed to be easy to use and flexible. Neither plan requires a contract commitment and can be changed at anytime.

Unlimited Plan, $14.99/month for unlimited alerts
Monitor child throughout their daily schedule. This customer would want to select the unlimited plan. They would setup schedule checks to be alerted if their child did not arrive at school on-time, at home, and at day care. In addition they may check their child’s location anytime throughout the day from a PC or Smartphone.

Pay-Per-Use, $.99 per location alert, no monthly fee.
Monitor only in a special cases. This customer would want to select the pay-per-use plan. They would have their child carry the device, but only monitor them when they were on a field trip, special event, or traveling via PC or Smartphone.

Please feel free to post comments or questions.

Make your mark,

Plasma vs. LCD Televisions

Jacob-INSG — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:09:03 GMT

One consideration that is rarely discussed in the Plasma vs. LCD debate is size. If you don’t know which viewing experience would be more comfortable, use this simple equation: you should sit 2x the screen distance away. So, if you have a 32” flat screen, the most comfortable viewing experience would be to sit 64” or five-feet-three-inches away.
