Live Color Creation Technology with WCG-CCFL Backlight
Live Color Creation technology works with the BRAVIA XBR9-Series’ WCG-CCFL (Wide Color Gamut–Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlight to achieve wide color reproduction for more natural and vibrant colors. The technology combines advanced chroma signal processing with enhanced filters and purer light to reproduce 105 percent of the NTSC (National Television System Committee) color standard. This means deeper reds and greens with overall color that’s truer and more life-like.

USB to View Photos, Music, and Video
Connect your camera, USB-enabled MP3 player, or USB storage device directly to the HDTV’s USB input to view photos on the big screen or control your latest music playlist. BRAVIA XBR9-Series HDTVs also include MPEG2 video file support, so you can go straight from shooting video to screening it over USB.

Compliance with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) allows BRAVIA XBR9-Series HDTVs to access digital photos, music, and video from DLNA-enabled PCs and other devices, so you can enjoy your memories with friends and family in the comfort of your living room instead of crowding around a PC.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

The most realistic kitty cat ever! This cuddly kitty comes with a brush and loves to sit on your lap while you pet her. As you pet her, she’ll relax and roll over to look at you and let you pet her tummy. She blinks her eyes and moves her ears, too. Kitty even licks her paw to clean her face just like a real cat!

Buy FurReal Friends Lulu My Cuddlin Kitty Cat

FurReal Friends’ My Cuddlin Kitty Lulu is not your average toy cat. A great new friend for the little pet lovers in your home, Lulu features life-like qualities and five touch sensors will have your children amazed by how realistic she looks and acts. Designed for children ages four and up, Lulu is a neat toy for introducing your preschooler to pets and their care.

My Cuddlin Kitty Lulu Ages: 4+ Requires: 4 “C” batteries (included) Phillips screwdriver to replace batteries

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: The Good: A fun, realistic toy that teaches kids about being responsible pet owners. The Challenging: Lulu sheds occasionally (though not nearly as much as a real cat.) In a Nutshell: An interactive toy that feels like and mimics a real cat.

Interactive, Life-like Kitty
Lulu is the size of an actual cat, though her mechanical body is much lighter in weight, and she even sheds–thankfully not as much as a real cat, and you don’t ever have to worry about allergies.

Everything about Lulu is amazingly realistic. Her soft white fur and adorable sounds make it hard not to pet her–especially when she rolls over for a tummy rub or cleans her face with her paw. Lulu has five convenient touch sensors located on her head, back and stomach. It seems that Lulu may also be able to detect motion or sound–when you walk by without touching her she will purr and meow “hello” at you. (To keep this from happening you can easily turn her off.)

Adorable and Hard Not to Love
Though Lulu is designed for children, we can see how she would appeal to all age groups including adults–who wouldn’t love having a fuzzy realistic toy kitty to cuddle with? Lulu’s interactivity makes her a great addition to the family or as a first pet for your preschooler to care for. She even includes a brush for grooming and an adoption certificate that proclaims your child as her rightful owner. Once Lulu sits on your lap and purrs, you and your child will not be able to help falling for her.

As a small warning, since Lulu is electronic, she should only be used indoors and away from water or hot temperatures that could damage her mechanics.

What’s in the Box
Cat figure, a plastic comb, an adoption certificate, and four “C” batteries.
