HDTV Reviews - Toshiba Vs Sony Brands

If you have finally saved up enough money for a new large screen HDTV, you probably want to make sure you get the most value for your money. If you are like many, you may have it narrowed down to Toshiba or Sony for your next HDTV. Below you will find out about the pros and cons of each company and get our recommendation.

Sony HDTV Pros and Cons

Pros of cons of Sony televisions include the following.

Warmer Picture - If you like your colors warm, the Sony is probably going to do a better job. This is really a personal preference, though.
Quality - Many Sony HDTVs cost a little more, but this is because of the slightly higher quality of components used in the televisions.
Higher Price - With the higher quality, you're going to have a higher price. This will turn some people away, but if you want the best you're going to have to pay for it.
Toshiba HDTV Pros and Cons

Pros of cons of Toshiba televisions include the following.

Custom Settings - There is quite a bit to tweak on most Toshiba HDTVs. If you like to tweak settings to get the absolute best picture, you want to consider Toshiba.
Cooler Picture - Most people won't notice this difference, but Toshiba HDTVs tend to offer a lighter, cooler picture.
Lower Price / Quality - You will generally be able to get a Toshiba HDTV for a cheaper price, but you are going to get lower quality components, which means the television may not last as long.
Toshiba vs Sony HDTV: The Winner?

The final decision is going to be yours, of course, but for the money, the Sony is going to give you better quality and overall value for your money. If you want to save money, however, there are many great Toshiba HDTVs in all sorts of sizes. The one thing you want to make sure you do is compare similar televisions. For example, a 1080p Toshiba is going to look better than a Sony at 720p resolution. You want to keep this in mind when you compare televisions. When you compare televisions with the same specifications, you are going to find that the Sony is a bit more money. For many people, however, the extra money for Sony quality is worth it, especially if you want to keep the television around for a long time.

Vision-Mission-Purpose-What Does It All Mean?

We hear the words purpose, vision and mission everyday, but what do they really mean and how are they different from each other? It is easy to puzzle over these questions for hours. Large companies will pay consultants tens of thousands of dollars to help them craft elegant statements to adorn their walls and motivate their employees. Many times these become so overlaid with business jargon that they end up not saying much at all. As a small business, choosing the right words and applying them to your business can serve the organization by defining leadership roles, unifying efforts, setting departmental and company-wide goals, better serving customers and encouraging and motivating employees. However, the larger purpose of defining these words and applying their meaning is to illuminate your focused strategy and ensure that everyone that comes in contact with your company has a clear understanding of what your organization is abut and what they can rely on you for. A few well crafted sentences can save a tremendous amount of time in the long run, by becoming crystal clear on the answer to - What are we here for?

First you must be able to see your vision. Companies like many things in our universe start as nothing but an idea in someone's mind and then turn into a physical reality. In order to get others actively working towards creating that physical reality, they must be able to see the vision; therefore, you must be able to convey it. A business's vision is a desired future. It can help to guide all who accept and understand it. A shared vision can be a great tool for building a sense of belonging and community. A vision is not a CEO's desire to make a billion dollars. While a CEO's ideas are important to the future of the company, the management team and other players' are equally as important because they relate to personal commitment to the business. If employees don't believe in a company they are less likely to give their best effort. The old adage, 'You are only as strong as your weakest link' can be very true. The questions you need to ask in order to frame your vision are, "What value do we offer the market?" and "How are we going to offer it in a unique way?" Unlike a company's goals but similar to its mission, a vision does not have a deadline. It can evolve with the company and can be vague or exact to have impact and meaning. A company's vision is how it sees itself fitting into the marketplace at large. Think of your vision as your "I have a dream speech" for your business.

Next we define the mission and the purpose. Sometimes the mission and the purpose are the same thing, and other times it is worth separating them. A company's Mission Statement defines why your organization exists; the purpose gets into what it hopes to achieve in the future and how they fit into the greater good of society and the world. Your mission answers the question "What are we here to do?" It should be well defined, so it can guide your business' planned actions.

A company's purpose answers the question, "Why do our mission and vision matter?" That can include giving back to employees, management and shareholders. Some company's say their purpose is to serve all related parties from workers to clients in the best way possible. Others are in existence solely to make money. There is no right or wrong purpose. There is only what you decide your organization is meant to do. The dictionary says that a purpose is "an anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions." This anticipated outcome can be spiritual, practical or comical. It can be health or environmentally conscious or convenience oriented. It is how ever you see your organization changing the world, in whatever small or big way you intend to.

For example, the mission of a bicycle part manufacturing company could be to make the highest quality bicycle parts that allow customers to maximize the usable life of their bike. Or it could be to be the largest bike part manufacturer in the world or to be the brand of choice for cost conscious customers or to be the trusted vendor of the largest athletic chain stores. Their purpose may be to make solid, safe parts to improve bike safety, or to make a community or an entire planet healthier by encouraging outdoor bike riding as a form of exercise, or to encourage people to use bikes as transportation rather than cars an reduce pollution. You can see how these different missions and purposes would guide a company to operate in different ways.

When Mark Walker decided to re-brand his business J M Walker Group with a mind for building a solid, valuable entity for the future, that he could pass on to his children one day, he wanted to make sure he built on a strong foundation. He started by defining his vision, mission and purpose with the following:

Vision (What this business means to me): To empower companies and individuals rise to their highest potential through high quality training content and inspiring delivery.

Mission (What we are here to accomplish): To be a premiere provider of training to large and mid-size companies in the Southeast. We help businesses grow value and profits by training their people to become exceptional in selling, serving, communicating and managing time, with clients, customers and their daily contacts. We get excited when people tell us that they feel like they are now part of something bigger than themselves, and see great value in what they do to serve their customers, clients, or patients.

Purpose (What my business means to the world): The purpose of J M Walker Group is to leave a legacy of earning an excellent living, using and sharing our gifts and talents to help businesses and individuals succeed. We desire to bring a positive view of God to our marketplace and to reflect His special love for people in all that we do.

Once you get the right vision, mission and purpose on paper, you can then move on to setting meaningful goals to move the business forward in those directions.

It is important for any organization to spend time figuring out what their purpose, vision and mission are so that all parties involve to understand them implicitly. This insures that everyone is moving in the same direction, which is critically important for being able to grow quickly. Taking the necessary time to assess these three words is critical because a company should be a machine with many differentiated parts, but only one mind.

Photo Montage (or Slideshow) Tips and Ideas

If you're anything like me, you've got old photos in boxes, scattered pictures in various scrapbooks or albums, a computer hard drive with photos saved in places you don't even remember, maybe even some undeveloped film (who knows what could be on there!). If you're looking for something to do with all of it, why not make a photo slideshow on DVD replete with music and specials effects? It is a great way to keep a permanent record of all those photos as DVDs can last up to 100 years. There are plenty of companies that will perform that service for you (including the author's) or you can do it yourself. If you want to do it yourself, here are some ideas to help you out.

Know Your Audience

The most important aspect in creating any photo montage is in knowing your audience. Ultimately, what you are doing with your montage is telling a story. To tell it effectively, you have to know who you are telling it to. The audience will play a large part in how many pictures you want to include, the type of music you want, and the length of the presentation. Here are a few specific ideas:

* If you plan on showing your montage to a larger audience (like a birthday, wedding reception/rehearsal dinner, or anniversary party) make sure you consider how you are going to present it. Is your slideshow going to be a backdrop for the party or is there going to be a time to sit down where everyone will gather to watch? If it is a backdrop, you probably want to use more pictures. That way, people can watch parts as they please, mingle, and then come back to watch different parts as the party moves on. If your montage is going to be displayed with the expectation that most people will stop what they are doing to watch, keep your presentation limited to about 4 songs (about 125 to 175 photos). This is a good length to create some nice emotions yet short enough that it will not interrupt the event.

* If you plan on showing your slideshow to a small and intimate audience, the best bet is to make it short and sweet. One to two personal songs with about 75 photographs makes a great surprise gift.

The Importance Of Order

There are a variety of approaches you can take in ordering your photographs (thematically, chronologically, etc). What usually has the best flow is a chronological order. Chronological order allows you to encapsulate all facets of a person's life in a way that everyone will understand. It also creates a great nostalgia effect early on which will grab your audience's attention right away.

Music

Generically speaking, songs with lyrics are best. Since the majority of your DVD will be pictures, having lyrics really helps to attach the photos to the music. If a particular lyric matches up to what is going on in a particular photo that is even better.

As to musical genre, that is a matter of personal taste. From experience, though, a mix is usually the most powerful. If you are making an upbeat, light-hearted presentation, then matching music is appropriate. If you are looking for something engaging and emotional, then think of your presentation like it is a great movie. You want a lighter side, a dramatic part, and a great ending. Depending on the number of photos you have, probably one or two up-tempo songs, one or two slower songs, and then the homerun song for the end.

When picking specific songs, it is a good idea to think beyond the more common popular songs. What is the person's favorite song? How about a song from their childhood? Maybe one version of a song works better than another (like acoustic versus electric)? There is an amazing amount of music available online; it is a good idea to explore. You will know when you see it in your presentation if it really fits.

Photo Quality

A big issue related to creating a photo montage is photo editing. There is plenty of software that can clean up cracks, fix lighting, adjust color, remove spots, etc.; some works better than others (check out http://www.cnet.com for product reviews). The one problem no software can fix, though, is a grainy photo. Unfortunately, an out-of-focus photograph is going to remain an out-of-focus picture in your slideshow. When you are selecting the photos are going to include, you should choose the clearest ones you have. Keep in mind that your slideshow may have lots of transitions, backgrounds, pan and zooms, etc. so you want photos with a focal point that is as clean as possible. Clean photos help keep the flow of the presentation.

Video

A good way to add some flair to your montage is to add video. If you can find and isolate some good video clips, they add a great touch. If you do decide to add video, don't make the clips too long. Remember, you have a story to tell and need to keep it moving. Keep the clip down to about thirty seconds and consider using video as a break point between "chapters" or songs.

Narrate It

Another great touch is to use personal voice recordings in your slideshow. If your presentation is a gift, hearing your voice makes it that much more personal (and memorable). Voice recording can be done on most home computers. Turn on the microphone and go for it!

Quotes and Poems

If you are really looking to create an emotional montage, use photo captions. They can be personal quotes, famous quotes, short poems, etc. Whatever your preference, a good quote can help to convey the true meaning behind a certain photo or draw out deep emotions.

Personalize It

What makes any gift special? The thought of course -- especially the thought that comes from you. Since that is the case, some piece of personalization, however small, is critical. Think of it as your signature on a painting. Whether it is a song, a caption, or even a certain photo make sure to make it your own.

The End

Sometimes one of the best parts of a movie is the highlight reel at the end (think "Build Me Up, Buttercup" at the end of There's Something About Mary). If you can come up with your own "bloopers reel," it would be an excellent finishing touch to your slideshow.

Back-Up Plan

Once all of your pictures have been scanned, catalogued, and you are ready to start on your montage, don't forget to create a file with just your originals in case you need to go back to them for some reason. It is a good idea to also create a separate folder with your edited photos. That way you have copies of both for a "Doomsday scenario." This also provides you a way to preserve all your print photos which can degrade over time (cracking, turning yellow, etc).

Hopefully, these ideas are helpful to you. Creating a photo slideshow is a lot of work but it always turns out to be worth it in the end.
