We have several antenna models available in store (with a slightly larger selection) and online. Before you purchase a TV antenna, check this website to see which direction to point your antenna to based on your address. Make sure to select towers broadcasting FOX on the right-hand side and uncheck everything else. If you live further than 70 miles from a tower or have obstructions around your home, note that it may be difficult to pick up a clear signal. Ask your favorite P.C. Richard & Son sales associate which TV antenna is right for you. This is currently our most popular model.

Do you feel like you’re taking a step back in time by installing a TV antenna? It’s probably appropriate to note here that Sony recently announced that they will no longer be manufacturing the cassette Walkman, so get one of those while you can too!

Normally, televisions display colors using a series of red, green and blue pixels that come together to form a bigger picture. Quattron TVs display these same pictures with yellow added to the palette, which lets you see never-before-seen colors on your TV. These TVs are Energy Star 5.0 compliant, which is the strictest Energy Star level yet. The yellow pixels produce a brighter picture and therefore promotes lower power consumption by using the LED backlight more efficiently. If you’re looking for a television with excellent color depth and richness, then this is the TV for you.

Quattron TVs also have Sharp’s app suite, Aquos Net, included and allows you to do things like stream video from your Netflix account, check weather/sports scores, play games and more. It also has a USB connection that allows playback of various multimedia files, including photos, music and video, and has a hard drive that allows you to pause and rewind live TV.

There’s a lot to see with the Sharp Quattron series of televisions, and it can only be seen in person. Stop by any P.C. Richard & Son Superstore to see the amazing Quattron quad-pixel Technology yourself! You can also see what we have available on our website.

“When it comes to home theater, it’s not just the picture,” Pat explained, “but it’s also the sound.” First, Pat talked about the Sony Blu-Ray Home Theater System with 5.1 surround sound, Blu-Ray player, and 285 watt subwoofer. It comes with 5 speakers: 2 for rear channel, 2 for front channel, and a center channel for the dialogue. The subwoofer handles the low-frequency sounds and effects. This system gives you complete surround sound and really makes you feel like you’re in the movie’s environment. It also comes with an iPod dock to experience surround sound quality for your music, too.

Not interested in wiring your living room for surround sound? Try the Samsung 2.1 Surround Sound Home Theater System! This 2.1 surround sound system has a built-in Blu-Ray player, iPod dock, soundbar that delivers virtual surround sound, and wireless subwoofer to make setup as easy and painless as possible. The virtual surround sound bounces off of your environment and makes it sound like you have 5 wired speakers around your room. It’s also wall-mountable so you can install it right under your mounted TV and equipped with Samsung’s “Smart Volume” technology for volume level adjustments on-the-fly for superb listening levels without the need to continually pick up the remote. It also offers seamless playback of video, photos, or music from digital devices such as media players, mobile phones, and digital cameras, using either the built-in USB port or Bluetooth wireless connectivity.

When you have a great sound system, you’re going to need a great TV to go along with it. The new Sharp Quattron “Quad Pixel” technology takes the standard red, green and blue pixel structure and adds yellow into the mix for a vibrant, enhanced picture quality.

We have many home theater systems available on our website. If you have any questions on them, talk to your P.C. Richard & Son sales associate or click our live chat banner on any product page for more information!

What We Do
We here at P.C. Richard & Son deal with a lot of plastic, cardboard and Styrofoam with product packaging. We break down all cardboard boxes that hold all orders we receive and separate it from any plastic and Styrofoam that is also included in the packaging. The plastic and Styrofoam is collected and cardboard grouped into bails to be sent to a recycling plant where it is reused and repurposed. Our Deer Park Clearance Center alone sees four to five hundred boxes ever week and a half or so, so that’s tens of thousands of pounds of cardboard, plastic and Styrofoam recycled every year from our 65 locations.

In addition to hauling away all of our packaging material to recycling plants, we often offer free haul aways of your old appliances when you purchase new ones. Haul-awayed appliances are always recycled and are never brought to a landfill. Freon and other harmful substances are disposed of in OSHCA-complaint ways.

We recycle on a much smaller scale, too. Our break rooms have recycling receptacles that are clearly marked for things like aluminum cans and plastic bottles. We also have recycling bins for white paper in our corporate office headquarters.

How You Can Help
Energy Star products are a cost-effective and convenient way to reduce energy use and promote environmental protection. Energy Star is a government-backed program and has also been adopted in countries like Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan and the European Union. We carry many Energy Star-approved appliances and electronics that are worth looking into for your own green initiatives. We offer:

• Energy Star Refrigerators: Energy Star-qualified refrigerators require about half as much energy s models manufactured before 1993.
• Energy Star Washers and Dryers: Energy Star washers can save you $550 in operating costs over a regular clothes washer. Less energy and water use means less air pollution from power plants and less water going to waste.
• Energy Star Air Conditioners: If every room AC sold in the US were Energy Star qualified, it would prevent 1.3 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions- the equivalent emissions of 115,000 cars.
• Energy Star Dishwashers: Energy Star-qualified dishwashers use at least 41% less energy than the federal minimum standard for energy consumption and can save you more than $30 a year in utility costs.
• Energy Star HDTVs: There are 275 million TVs currently in use in the US, consuming over 50 billion kilowatts of energy each year, That’s 4% of all household’s electricity use! This is enough electricity to power all the homes in New York State for an entire year. Energy Star-qualified TVs use about 30% less energy than standard units.
• And more! Check out our Energy Star Products page.

These products will pay for themselves over time with the minimal energy they use, and Mother Nature will be protected! This Earth Day, please look into planet-protecting green initiatives and consider Energy Star products. For more information on Earth Day, visit the Earth Day Network website.

Samsung 46″ 3D Ready LED 1080p HDTV
Samsung 55″ 3D Ready LED 1080p HDTV

Movies like Avatar and Monsters vs. Aliens have showed us how absorbing a 3D experience can be in a theater. Samsung is bringing this same captivating 3D experience to your home with their new line of 3D LED TVs, complete with Samsung Apps. Following the flat screen revolution, this combination of 3D entertainment and downloadable applications is an impressive next step in the development of television sets.

Similar to the 3D theater experience, these TVs require each viewer to wear a pair of Samsung 3D Active Glasses to experience the 3D content. 3D glasses that you get in the movie theater now will not work on these TVs, as 3D TV glasses use active liquid crystal shutter technology that movie theater 3D glasses do not.

Should you wish to watch TV the old-fashioned way, these 3D TVs are able to broadcast 2D content easily. The 2D output’s picture quality is as clear as non-3D models. You can also watch 2D programming in 3D!

Samsung Apps are also included on the 3D sets and allows you access to a wide range of the same kinds of apps you’d find on your mobile phone; including Pandora, Twitter, YouTube, Skype, Monopoly and more. Netflix and Blockbuster movies will be conveniently streamable on-demand right through your broadband connection.

With this 3D format comes 3D Blu-ray players and special programming just for these televisions. 3D Blu-Ray players are currently available, ESPN has announced that they will be the first 3D TV network by the end of 2010, and Sony has announced that the existing PlayStation 3 console will support 3D Blu-ray playback via a simple software update, making it a great buy with the Samsung sets. Until 3D broadcasting and the PlayStation 3 releases their firmware update later this year, however, a 3D Blu-Ray player is necessary to take full advantage of the 3D technology now.

Check out more about the Samsung 3D LED TVs.
