(ARA) –
It may be a cliché, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true – men love their
toys. And for many guys, that means the latest in electronic gear. So
this Father’s Day, give dad what he really wants.
From personal music systems to laptop computers to big screen
televisions, technology gifts come in all sizes – and can fit any
budget. And if you shop around (don’t forget to check the Web), you can
be assured you’re getting the best price on your purchase.
Here’s a roundup of some of the hottest gifts for Dad, courtesy of Mark
Dobberstein, senior electronics buyer for ShopNBC.
* Mini DVD Camcorder – Camcorders have come a long way from the big,
cumbersome versions we all remember. The JVC GR-D295 mini DV camcorder,
for example, weighs in at under a pound, and can easily fit in the palm
of your hand, making it easy and convenient to preserve memories,
whether it’s baby’s first step or that dream vacation.
A powerful zoom lens give great close-ups, the LCD monitor reduces glare
and the live slow feature lets you capture critical moments in slow
motion.
* Portable XM Satellite Radio – The satellite radio phenomenon goes
portable. The MyFi XM2GO lets Dad listen to over 130 channels wherever
he goes – when he’s working out, doing yard work or carpooling. XM2GO is
designed to work as both a portable player and a plug-and-play receiver,
and the memory mode lets Dad record up to five hours of his favorite
programming and listen to it any time.
* LCD Flat Panel Television – Dad won’t miss any of the action of his
favorite shows or sports with the slim, high-quality Proton 32-inch LCD
TV. At only 3.75 inches deep without stand, the TV will fit in the
tightest spaces. Dad can even mount it on the wall to save more space.
* DVD Player – The Samsung DVD player provides a high-quality digital
viewing experience, including up-conversion resolution of conventional
DVD discs to improve the resolution and super audio DC for
high-resolution audio in either two-channel stereo or multi-channel
audio.
* In-Dash CD/MP3 Player – The JVC KD-LHX550 provides easy control over
in-car audio, featuring a display touch-panel screen with voice support
that can be personalized using JVC's innovative PICT feature. It’s
MP3/WMA compatible and Sirius-ready, too.
So this Father’s Day, forget the tie, the socks, and the golf ball
washer and give Dad a gift he’ll use every day (and if you’re lucky, you
might get to use it, too). Visit www.shopnbc.com for electronics and
