• Digital Light Processing (DLP) – It was invented in 1987. It works by processing the light in a digital way with the help of optical semiconductor known as a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). These days, more than 50 manufacturers have a DLP type of TV as part of their offerings
• Plasma Displays Panel (PDP) – It can be associated with topnotch electronics. In the market, people know that plasma TVs have the best picture that is suitable for everyone. Every TV that has PDP comes alongside a flat panel assortment. In comparison to LCD, they are somewhat more reasonable to purchase. The best part of it is that people can get the chance to receive the most stunning picture that will let them enjoy their viewing pleasure even more.

It has a lightweight construction and also it has a thin appearance. With that said, people can get the convenience that they need to use it as either a TV or a computer screen.

In general, it is really a must to know the best TV set that can bring great entertainment for those who will have it. All they need to do is to take advantage of those major categories and choose the one they think will be the best.

The first Ford Thunderbird was unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show in 1954 with production and sales starting in the same year. Marketed as an alternative to Chevrolet’s Corvette, the Thunderbird sat comfortably in the ‘personal luxury’ car niche as opposed to a sports niche. The Thunderbird surpassed sales predictions for the first year and went on to remain in production until 1997, an impressive 42 years. The car was reprised from 2002 until 2005. The First Generation two-seater has become an iconic car in American car manufacturing history

Ford Mustang Boss 429

As one of the most iconic cars in motor history, and immortalized in film since the 60s, the Ford Mustang is one of the most sought-after classic cars on the market. The Boss 429 represented the most sophisticated example produced by Ford in the late 60s and had the highest performance outside of the Shelby Mustangs. Ford only made 859 of these cars and is was a direct result of NASCAR regulations which stipulated that at least 500 cars be sold to the general public with the racing engine for it to qualify. Ford also had to modify the engine bay of the Mustang in order to fit the massive Boss 429 engine. With so few being produced and sold  to the public, an altered front end and a massive power output, the Ford Mustang Boss 429 is one of the rarest and most collectable of all muscle cars.

Ford Escort 1

The Ford Escort was predominantly produced for the European market between 1968 and 2002, however did make appearances in America from time to time. Mainly produced as a family car the Escort was fairly unassuming, but is was in the shape of the RS2000 that the Escort really came into its own. As a rally car the Escort went on to become one of the most successful cars of the 60s and 70s under the control of The Ford Works team. The RS1600 was known to be a little temperamental from time to time and was in need of specific Ford car servicing, but it was the 16-valve Cosworth engine of the RS2000 that really made the car desirable.

Ford GT40

The Le Mans 24 Hour Race was dominated by Ferrari in the early 60s. Henry Ford had long since harbored ambitions to enter a Ford into the race that would challenge for the win. In 1963 Ford began to realize his ambition and initial prototypes for the GT40 were produces in England. With little success in endurance races throughout 1963, the project was hand to Carroll Shelby in 1964 when the cars were sent straight to the Shelby factory. Under the guidance of Shelby, the GT40 went on to dominate endurance racing from 1966 through to 1969, winning 4 consecutive editions of 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Ford Model T

The Ford Model T had to star on this short list. Generally regarded as the fist affordable automobile, the Model T enabled the American middle-classes to buy a car for the first time and subsequently single-handedly started America love affair with the car. Produced from 1908 until 1928 over 15 million Model Ts were produced ranging from 2 door touring and roadster models to pickups and wagons and were simple enough for people to work on and conduct car repair themselves. There is no question that the Model T went on to lay the foundation for all subsequent car manufacturing and as such was voted the most influential car of the 20^th century.

Saddle Up!

Chances are that if you have watched any number of old western movies, then you have seen cowboys work their way into some sort of perilous situation within the Wild West of New Mexico. You can relive those childhood dreams of becoming a cowboy by taking one of the many tours across the desolate landscapes with nothing but a guide and a tent. Camping out in the wilderness will give you some of the best experiences you can imagine.

Sample the Foods

Mexican cuisine is an interesting delicacy, if you have a sensitive stomach, you may find you will not be able to stomach the very heavy and spicy foods, but if you find yourself enjoying curries and chilli con carne’s on a normal day, then you shouldn’t have any trouble handling these foods.

The cuisine in Santa Fe has had many influences from different cultures, Native American, Spanish, Mexican and the Anglo-American settlers who built the majority of Santa Fe have all had a resounding influence on the cuisine. These dishes are not found anywhere else in the world and are cooked by some of the world’s most underrated chefs.

Look out for the Sopaipillas!

Stunning architecture

There are some stunning buildings located around Santa Fe, many of great architectural, political and historical interest.

For historic architecture there is the Barrio De Analco Historic District, which includes what are claimed to be the oldest house and the oldest church in the United States. The whole district was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1968.

The San Miguel Mission (pictured) is claimed to be the oldest church in the United States and still holds the weekly Sunday mass.

Relaxation

One of the premier locations for relaxation is the Japanese inspired “Ten Thousand Waves” which makes the most of the natural landscape, by turning the Geysers, hot spa’s, cold mountain water into features of this spa.

These are just some of the finer points of Santa Fe, the choice of hotels and upmarket campervan parks is near unending and will make a stark contrast to the amazing Caribbean Spa Holidays. You will never be short of things to do and to experience the “Wild West” where it all began is an opportunity that can’t be missed.

For those of you who have not yet been exposed to the beauty of Hot UK deals, it is a website which provides a platform for shoppers to share their best bargain finds both on and offline. It’s also the platform on which Argos.co.uk took a meteoric brand nosedive this past weekend.

The Deal

So here’s the, ahem, deal. On Saturday morning (January 21^st) the savvy Hot UK dealers were out in force, taking advantage of misprices and dirt cheap deals whilst the rest of the still intoxicated mortals nursed their hangovers. Around 10.00am on Saturday morning, a Hot UK dealer by the name of isam8390 posted a deal that was so good it was about to set ablaze the comments fields and spectacularly burn itself into the ground all within a few hours.

The deal isham8390 posted was for a Nokia Lumia 800 mobile phone, sim free for £119.00 reduced from £449.99. For those Smartphone geeks out there, the opportunity to buy this pretty damn good high spec Windows 7 phone for such a price was an offer they couldn’t refuse. It was an extremely hot deal on a very good product.

There were a few comment murmurings questioning as to whether it was an Argos pricing error, but most didn’t stop to think and cashed in immediately on the offer, with some placing high quantity orders in the hope of making huge profits by re-selling the phones, as you’d be entitled to do.

Everything was perfect, Windows fans were happy, Nokia would have something to shout about again, Argos were raking in the cash and Hot UK dealers generously rolled out 1089 degrees of heat for the listing. Three hours later, it all turned ugly.

Cunning Marketing Or Genuine Error?

There was no reason to assume this product was not a genuine deal. The Argos product page listed the original price (£449.99), the new price (£119.99) and two lovely little graphics informing the user that it was an ‘Online Exclusive’ offer and indeed was ‘Better than half price’. Though it is acknowledged that these alerts could have been generated via an automated database system rule. However any casual user would not have known any different. The suspicion starts.

Around three hours after the listing, with happy customers and orders in place, trolls started to hit the comments and putting reasonable doubt in the minds of the blissfully innocent consumers.

Then more and more comments started to feed through stating that customers had contacted Argos about this deal and had been told it was a pricing error and that it would not be honoured. Shortly after, a wave of customers received text messages from Argos informing them that they had realised their pricing error and that they would be fully refunded within 7 days. Those who did not provide their mobile in the order process had not been communicated with.

At this stage, the deal was still live on the Argos website, no emails had been sent, no phone calls from Argos had been received and no changes had been made to the order status in their Argos accounts.

So, half were left disappointed and infuriated, having been informed that their deal would not be honoured and they would have to wait 7 working days for their money to be refunded. Half didn’t know anything and probably went off to spend the rest of their Saturday blissfully unaware, safe in the knowledge they’d have a shiny new phone delivered to them within the coming weeks.

The Legal Bit

Over the next 24 hours, Argos sent all customers a text message or email informing them that their deal would not be honoured and that they would be providing full refunds within 7 working days. This was a heavy blow to those who made bulk orders and who would now be a couple of grand down.

Naturally, angry customers moan, moan some more and then realise they might just have legal ground to stand on, which subsequently makes them moan some more. So in this example, just where does the customer stand? I personally, have absolutely no idea. What I have come to realise though is that it’s somewhat of a grey area in terms of consumer rights. Here are the FACTS about this particular deal.

• Email notifications were sent from Argos to inform that the transaction would be checked before confirmation;
• Those who paid via credit card or Paypal had money taken from their accounts straight away, before Argos had sent any confirmation;
• The deal remained live whilst some customers received text messages to inform them the deal would not be honoured;
• Argos informed customers that it would take 7 days before they would receive a full refund.

What makes this particular situation even more interesting is the fact that M&S experienced a similar mispricing issue just weeks ago where customers nabbed a Panasonic 50 inch plasma television worth over a thousand pounds for just £199. M&S honoured this deal to the delight of many of their customers.

Should Argos follow suit and honour the deal for their customers, or was this just a clever marketing technique designed to get people looking at the phone and their site? After all, maybe it isn’t a coincidence that this incident occurred on the release day of their new catalogue.
