Philips enters the 32:9 game w/ the Brilliance 49-inch curved monitor

Monitors have been growing, and I really like the trend. I recently went from a dual 27-inch 16:9 1440p monitor setup to a single 34-inch 21:9 1440p monitor, and there’s no turning back for me. The benefits of UltraWide vastly outweigh any downsides in my opinion.

A trend that Samsung started last year, however, shows even more promise I think. Samsung launched a 49-inch 32:9 monitor with a resolution of 3840×1080. This is nice, but honestly, I was waiting for a higher-resolution monitor to come out because I just can’t downgrade from 1440p to 1080p again. Thankfully, Philips has finally announced the answer to my dilemma.

Without looking too hard you can usually find multiple name-brand options in the $10 per bulb range, while some budget options like Ikea’s Ledare bulbs have a list price of less than $5. Rebates from an increasing number of Utility companies are helping to lower overall costs even further.

Philips Hue Lux price drops make it cheaper than ever to add smart lighting to your house: single bulb $20, Starter Kit $80

-
AmazonDealsPhilips


Late last sumer Philips unveiled its Hue Lux smart bulb. Even though it’s a white-only bulb, its $30 price tag was attractive for iOS/Android users looking to tryout smart bulbs and those wanting to expand their current setup without spending a fortune. Now, a single Hue Lux bulb is down to just $19.99, a savings of over 30% off its regular price. The Starter Kit has also dropped in price. It includes a Philips Hue Bridge (needed to run any Hue bulb) and two Lux bulbs for $79.99, which is $20 less than its previous selling price of $100.

Many retailers (Walmart, Home Depot) are still charging full retail for these products, while some (Apple, Amazon) are listing them at the discounted rates. Apple rarely runs any sort of sale promos so it’s possible that this could be a permanent price drop. Either way, these deals are the lowest we’ve seen for both products.

Just like other Hue products, Lux bulbs are fully controllable from your iOS/Android device. Easily put the bulbs on a schedule to wake-up by a relaxing light instead of a startlingly alarm or even use the third party integration to receive mobile notifications in the form of light pulses.

The Philips Hue ecosystem also includes its regular 16-million color bulbs, lightstrips, the all-new Hue Go portable light, and more.

Philips introduces new $30 iOS/Android-controlled Wifi Hue bulb, now available for preorder

-
New Toy of the DayPhilips

There’s no denying that Philips Hue LED lighting products are nothing short of mesmerizing. They are also pretty darn pricey. But that’s all about to change because the Hue Lux series bulbs that were announced in March retail for half the price of traditional Personal Hue bulbs. What’s more, they have finally become available for preorder.

To achieve this much lower price point, Philips had to omit a major feature….

Jump into the world of LED light bulbs for less than $5 a pop with Ikea Ledare

-
New Toy of the DayAmazonPhilips

At this point it’s extremely clear that LED bulbs should be in every light fixture in your house. They last longer (tens of thousands of hours) and use less power (up to 85%) than their incandescent counterparts. The clear environmental benefits coupled with the fact that LED prices have fallen off a cliff recently, have led to a worldwide phase-out of incandescent bulbs. In fact, you can regularly pick up a Philips LED bulb for under $10 a piece, but Ikea has shaken up the budget LED space by introducing its Ledare bulbs for just $4.95 each.

Ledare bulbs can’t be controlled by your iPhone like Philips Hue products or double as a JBL Bluetooth speaker, but they do pack the basic benefits of LED bulbs at bargain pricing.

Update: The Philips Fidelio X1/28 headphones are now sold out. Amazon has also added a new daily deal of the virtually indestructible Philips O’Neill CRASH over-ear headphones for $149.99 with free shipping. Compare at a list price of $299.99. 

As its Gold Box deal of the day, Amazon is offering the Philips Fidelio X1/28 premium over-ear headphones for $149.99 with free shipping. That’s a substantial drop of $100 for today, and a $150 savings compared to retail. The genuine leather headband and aluminum construction meld together to create an awe-inspiring luxurious design. They also have the sound prowess to backup those beautiful looks. It features powerful 50-millimeter drivers, an open-back architecture, and pre-tilted drivers to channel audio directly into your ears. Deal valid today only or until supplies are exhausted.

Amazon reviewers rate it 4.5 and Head-Fi readers give it 4.69 out of 5 stars.

The Philips X1 are perfect for long listening sessions, but if you need a pair of ultra-portable ‘buds head over to All4Cellular where the refurbished Plantronics Backbeat GO Bluetooth headset is just $34.95 with free shipping. As a pricing comparison, they typically sell for around $62 and carry a list price of $100. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars by Amazon reviewers.

As a step-up from the Plantronics earbuds, BuyDig is offering the Sennheiser CX 985 in-ear headphones with controls for $89 shipped when you enter code AUDIOLOVE at checkout. That’s a savings of $40. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Use your savings to pack your playlists with discounted grammy-nomiated albums. I highly recommend the Mackelmore album if you haven’t already picked it up.
