Although this is not the best quality HDTV, when comparing the price and the performance with other HDTVs it proves to be a very good choice for the average buyer. Other products in its category have a higher price and setting them up might be difficult. With its excellent quality and easy to set up structure, this product managed to be one of the favorites.

Although this product has some problems with color rendering, any other features work very fine and the picture quality is not bad. But for only $1400 this great product is one of the most affordable HDTVs on the market. You won’t have problems setting up this TV because everything can be found in the back.

Everything points outward making things easier to install; other HDTVs create problems when installing them because most of their inputs are facing down and that creates a difficult access. Other extra options you get are: headphone jack and USB port for pictures and music from external devices, another S-Video port, and one extra HDMI connector.

These are a lot of options for a TV this cheap, that’s why it’s one of our favorites. You even get some access inputs on the side of the TV, so things won’t get complicated when you want to plug in something else. Easy set up system is a good advantage when it comes to HDTVs because most people don’t have technical knowledge and may spend a few hours figuring out where most of the connectors are.

The menu set up is also easy and smooth. If you can’t read things from the menu, you have an opacity option to make text more visible. When searching for sources, the Samsung HP will automatically skip the ones you don’t have; but you can rename your own with the select option.

You have a picture-in-picture option; however it doesn’t allow you to watch two things at the same time because the HDTV has one tuner. Unfortunately many of the HDTVs today don’t have options which allow watching two programs at once.

The designers may leave out the extra tuner because they assume that most people will be using a DVR or similar recorder, making an additional tuner unnecessary. However, this assumption will give a lack of options to those without these recording boxes.

Most HDTVs out there on the market have a native 720p resolution for their plasma screens; three of them can handle a 1080p signal – they convert the signal downwards and display it at its best quality they can handle.

However, the Samsung-HPT4264, cannot manage the signal but this isn’t such a problem because you can set any Blu-ray or HD DVD player instead. If you choose to set the Blu-ray or HD DVD you should choose the lower resolution for the best quality. Because of this, this product obtained a lower score overall.

The remote control is a little uncomfortable but it can be programmed and the light up function for buttons. If you have problems with your grip or pain in your wrists, you may need to buy a universal remote so that you can put aside the official remote.

Overall, the Samsung HPT4264 is unique in that its price is cheaper than most but it still manages to give you plenty of options and great quality usually seen in TV’s that cost a lot more than this one. The biggest issue with the Samsung HDTV is the picture and viewing quality. While its not the worst, there are many other big screen TV’s that offer a clearer screen and better views.

With a good score in image category this product managed to situate itself in the first categories. Considering its price, it is a good option if you want something cheap with a good image quality for your home. Although more expensive products would have better performances, this one has an amazing price for its quality and will make any buyer satisfied.

The universe maintains its balance with the Syntax-Brillian Olevia 747i LCD HDTV’s awful design and great image quality. On one hand, the Olevia 747i could be far ahead of its time. On the other hand, it might just be a little too far ahead. Check out the on-screen menus. The 747i gets points for originality with its bolt-shaped interface when you access the remote’s menu.

Cute though it might be, you’ll be wishing it were less cute if it meant actual practicality. The display is sorely lacking. Something as simple as adjusting the picture quality can be taxing, what with the way the 747i displays just one video option at a given time.

One thing the Olevia 747i has going for it is its impressive picture quality. For that alone, it lands on the third spot out of the nine 46-inch and 47-inch HDTV sets tested at that point, hot on the heels of the Vizio VO47LF (second place) and the Samsung LN46A550 (first place).

A few note-worthy hitches mentioned were the graininess in a few images, and at one point it seemed like Dave Letterman received an unseemly tan in The Late Show clip. Not to make it seem like this set only had bad things to offer. One viewer credited the set for showing a clip of According to Jim and making it look very natural.

The 747i gets top points for sound quality as well. The set poses no difficulty in projecting either quiet or loud sounds, with whispers coming off cleanly and clearly, and music that you can rock out to. The Olevia 747i’s speakers are removable, giving users the option to mount them somewhere else for a desired effect, or to connect additional external speakers to the TV.

The remote gives the 747i an added charm, with its brilliant backlighting feature that activates with a press of a button. The buttons are well-spaced and big enough to make life easier for the avid TV surfer.

Besides the most basic features, operating the Olevia 747i can be a pain. The ill-thought design reaches all the way to the back of the set that even locating something as simple as the AC power connector becomes a chore. The quick-start guide is virtually wordless and helpful only enough to tell that it was behind the TV.

The operations manual isn’t even on paper. Instead, it’s a PDF file that comes along with the CD. And just when you thought it couldn’t get more difficult, the PDF file comes in bitmaps of text instead of actual text. Virtually nothing is printed on paper, and the digital information provided is difficult to navigate.

A pleasantly surprising feature of the TV set is the Welcome wizard that appears the first time you turn on your TV. This application asks you if you’ll be doing your viewing at home or in a showroom. Unfortunately, this highlights a notorious flaw in most TVs these past few years. They’re engineered to look fantastic in a store, but wait until you set it up at home.

While it is a great HDTV that offers good quality for your money, don’t expect to see anything new. This Syntax Brillian Olevia 747i does not have features or a design that makes it stand out from the rest of the TV’s on the market. It is however, seamless and will look great in the room of your choice. However, you will find the included speakers and they can be attached to the sides easily. If you choose to hook up the speakers, they will make the entire screen seem bulkier than usual.

This should be a lesson to Syntax-Brillian and all other HDTV manufacturers. Between easy-to-use or sleek and bizarre, users will always prefer the former over the latter. The bottom line, however, is in its performance and image quality. At that, the Syntax-Brillian Olevia 747i LCD HDTV gets it right.

Good quality is always what matters when buying any item.

Sharp LC-46D64U LCD HDTV hasn’t been receiving good reviews when it comes to image quality. Some describe the image quality to be distorted, appalling, and not good at all. I’ve used to describing visual effects to have the quality of being oil-painted and this is not a good remark for a start. I wouldn’t be biased at all because I rate this product as an average product and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Sharp LC-46D64U at the top of those bad reviews for image quality.

However, the sound quality of Sharp LC-46D64U is tolerable and okay. The sound system complements the other shortcomings of Sharp LC-46D64U which a great TV should possess. If you plan to use an external surround sound anyway, the okay quality of the audio will not be an issue.

LC-46D64U has Sharp’s Aquos Link Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) which enables it to be connected and attached to other Sharp devices. One of its specifics called Optical Picture Control gives you the power to automatically adjust the TV’s brightness which depends on your environment, but this feature is not quite impressive.

It automatically shuts down after 15 minutes when it doesn’t receive signal or the user forgot to switch the TV off because of its power saving feature which maintains quality image. Another interesting feature of LC-46D64U’s is the Audio Only option which gives you the freedom to not use the TV’s sound system when connected to DVD player where you only want to listen to some music from CD’s (it just balances poor quality image it has).

Over-all the Sharp is manageable and easy to use. The text on screen is understandable even if it’s used small letters, and the menu appears nice too. The menu will not automatically close while you are adjusting the video setting. In reality, video adjusting is not really a problem because it doesn’t occupy much space on the screen.

As for the remote control, it’s not handy and convenient since some buttons are too small and the lights of the button don’t fit its functions at all. The controls are spaced much too closely together and remote itself, can get uncomfortable to hold in a short period of time. While there are good menu options and buttons, you will find them hard to see in a dark or densely lit room due to the lack of a back light that does not work properly.

The manual which is shaped triangularly is indeed helpful despite of text-heavy quality. You have the choice to download the PDF version if you are not satisfied reading the manual printed on grayish pages. While many have complained about the lack of a hard copy manual, the Sharp LC46D64U includes there’s but it needs to have more pictures to allow users to easily work on their new flat screens without having to stop and read large amounts of text every few minutes.

LC-46D64U can pass in terms of all features a television should have but unfortunately its image quality fails to satisfy the needs of the customers. This flat screen is not a bad bargain for its price, but coming from a company such as Sharp, they could have done much better in creating this flat screen HDTV.

The Vizio GV52LF HDTV is a 52 inch behemoth that offers great value for its $2200 price tag. When viewing the HD and SD on the screen you see a crisp image that is free of most viewing flaws found in similar models. This Vizio receives high marks for the luster of the image onscreen and it is the only HDTV to receive such a good score.

One reason for the great of this HDTV has to do with the colors. It offers crisp and vivid tones that seem just right regardless of the image onscreen. In many instances, a TV will show bad or horribly wrong shades for a character’s skin tone and object in and around image will also seem off color. With the Vizio GV52LF HDTV you can go from setup to TV watching without having to adjust multiple options to get the colors just right.

The four different HDMI ports will allow you to create a great media room as it lets you connect cable boxes, HD players, and even an HD digital video recorder (DVR). The Vizio GV52LF HDTV has speakers that were built into the unit but then even if you turn the volume up to full power, you will still feel that the sound is not as great as it could be.

The Vizio also takes care to stray away from the solid black HDTV’s by adding a splash of color with the gray shades. While the TV unit is all black, below it are the speakers that shine with a lustrous grey tone. Unfortunately, if you take a closer look, the Vizio appears to be a bit more bulky on the bottom and that is not seen in similar models.

The remote control is backlit and easy to see in the dark so that you can control the HDTV without turning on the lights. On the very top of the control are a series of buttons featuring different numbers. In the middle is a circular button that you can use to navigate. On the very bottom are the input buttons that will allow you to switch to different electronics connected to the Vizio GV52LF HDTV.

The remote is almost completely black but like the HDTV unit it has sleek grey designs to match. You will be able to easily control and setup the TV using a well written and detailed instruction manual that is included in the packaging. You can walk through the simple setup and you can also learn everything you need to know about the remote control.

When you compare the menu onscreen to similar HDTV’s you may notice that it looks a little out dated but it does come with great features to make up for its bland look and design. You can easily view a second channel using the picture in picture. However, the Vizio GV52LF HDTV also has a picture by picture feature to allow side by side viewing of two channels instead of one box within a box.

The menu also includes temperature controls that will allow you to change the colors to tones that you find more pleasing than the factory settings. To use the picture in picture and picture by picture controls, you may be frustrated to learn that they do not have their own buttons on the remote. You have to find them via the onscreen menu each and every time you would like to use them.

A lot of business professionals now have their very own Pocket PCs. This versatile, sleek, and lightweight mobile device offers a lot of benefits which makes it quite attractive to professionals. The manufacturers of Pocket PCs have nothing to fear against its brethren, the iPod.

According to Microsoft, their new hardware called ‘Zune’ can compete with the iPod technology. With the extreme competition in the market, manufacturers are trying to think of effective ways in order to capture the attention of their target market. This is an advantage on the part of the customers because they can get the best products that can meet their everyday communication needs. Another thing is that with the competition, prices are much more affordable making it easier for the public to obtain such mobile devices.

There is no need for Pocket PCs to envy iPod technology because the mobile device offers a lot of features which the iPod doesn’t. For one, you can download several applications like voice recognition, IM, pocket television, and a lot more. The device also allows the user to surf the internet wherever and whenever. Since the device is sleek and lightweight, you can carry it anywhere you go, especially to your place of work. With its multimedia capabilities, it is definitely beyond the iPod technology.

The iPod technology is also good because the device allows the user to store a lot of music (about 15,000 songs) as well as 25,000 pictures or photos. This device is available in four models. It also has a USB2 port and a FireWire cable (optional). Aside from that, it also boasts an alarm clock and it can also be connected to the television.

With the announcement of Microsoft that it will launch the ‘Zune’, the Pocket PCs can now have additional features like that of iPod. Since the Pocket PC can download software applications, owners who wish to have iPod-like features can now enjoy listening to music or store as many photos as they want through the Zune.

Pocket PCs surpass the basic features of the iPod technology but if Microsoft and Apple want to remain as competitive as ever, it will always benefit the users. If you simply want to store music or photos, you can settle with the iPod because it is cheaper than the Pocket PCs. This mobile device is excellent if you already have a mobile phone with advanced features.

For the ever-busy professionals who need to handle a lot of business affairs, iPod can’t possibly meet their needs especially in terms of various software applications. Regardless of the high price of the Pocket PCs, it is definitely a good investment because you can use it at work to check on your business operations. By choosing industry-related applications, all your needs can be met by the mobile device. By adding the Zune to your Pocket PC, you can now listen to your favorite songs if you feel a lot of tension and if you want to relax.

If you need extra help at work, the Pocket PC can provide you with the right applications and of course, the use of the internet. Don’t hesitate to invest on it now because it’s really worth it. Just look for the Zune and soon, you will already enjoy the iPod technology by Apple.

It is the digital revolution era. Almost every electronic component is digitalized. Though more expensive, digital equipment is preferred, because the quality is superior. When investing in digital equipment, an important factor to consider is the nature of the entertainment center that will accommodate them. A digital entertainment center houses all the digital equipment in one unit. It allows users to access their music, movies, home videos and photos from a single device via a remote control.

Users can purchase a digital entertainment center that doubles as a media center for their TV or projector and have access to all the media functions at one place. Any device such as a DVI, component video, VGA, S-Video or composite video can be used to make this connection.

With a digital entertainment center, it is possible to perform a number of operations from a single device. A user can pause, replay and record any TV program from cable, digital cable, digital satellite or over-the-air TV with the help of a personal video recorder, and transfer photos from a camera. Some entertainment centers allow a person to perform various functions simultaneously. For instance, it is possible to simultaneously watch TV or a video in one room and play music in another. It is also possible to record a favorite program and write them on DVDs.

The best part about digital entertainment centers is that they allow a user to perform so many different tasks at once. The quality of its media output is also enhanced. As they are not bulky and do not occupy as much space as the traditional entertainment centers, it is possible to merge them into the decor of a home irrespective of its size.

Televisions come in a variety of sizes ranging from the corner stand TVs to the complete range of home theater systems. While finding a place to store a normal size TV proves no problem, finding space for your big screen entertainment center may require some elaborate planning.

For setting up a big screen entertainment center, you need to first make a list of components and equipment that will be needed. A typical list of components will include the TV, VCR, laser disc player or DVD player, stereo system, and console-based game station.

Given the varied assortment of the components involved and their sizes, big screen entertainment centers take up a lot of space in any room – living or bedroom. That means they need to be aligned to any one wall in a room. Apart from the electronic equipment, these big screen solutions also have provisions for books and a computer.

This means that these centers can fulfill the relaxation and recreational needs of several people at once and therefore, these entertainment centers become the converging point for entire family. The position of a big screen entertainment center also determines the setting of the entire room.

An entertainment center aligned to a wall can become the anchor of the entire room, around which the rest of the furniture such as the sofa, is arranged. The entertainment center and the rest of the furniture of the room should blend aesthetically with the decor and color scheme of the room.

In fact, a host of contemporary and traditional designs allow for the TV, DVD player, PC and other peripheral components to blend gracefully together with each other as also with the decor of the rest of the room.

All said, television is only one of the many elements of a big screen entertainment center. In addition, you can also place your PC in the entertainment center and use it to download music or video. Yet the TV continues to rule supreme as the biggest home entertainment provider. To get the complete theater sound effect, you can connect surround-sound speaker systems. The sound of these systems varies depending on where you place them.

For the bargain hunter, this TV of good price and average features surely appeals.

Our test revealed that the Westinghouse TX-47F450S as average and that marks are based on picture quality. In fact most of its marks are within Goods, Very Goods and then some Fair. These are the marks since the picture quality isn’t that great. A co-judged of mine remarked that David Letterman looked washed out, color of a Caucasian acquired a pinkish color and we thought that the TV didn’t give much justice to the Return of the King DVD.

The image quality may suffer, but at least this set makes up lost ground on its audio. When I tested this for that low and quite sound, the TV has managed to upset my ears. When the volume is set to a comfortable level, somewhere a third level up, sounds from the TV are good on my ears as they sounded clear and okay. And expect loud to be louder on this TV.

Before when I need to heighten up the sound, all I need was a subwoofer. But certainly not today as this TX-47F450S takes audio to a whole new level. In fact of the nine high definitions TV sets that we scouted in April 2008, all of which are 46-to 47 inch sets, the scores for this TV is commendable and even better for a TV coming from its class.

Menus on this TV are almost flawless, save for some minor problems. Every option on the video menu is grayed out. The remedy is to exit out of the program settings and change the set-up to User mode. That way the options that you need will be available for you. Minor blips like that undercut some of its finer details like the user-friendly menu that’s easy on the eyes and recognizable icons.

Easy to access regular inputs are seen at the side of the TV, but no short-cuts for inputs for temporary hardware add-ons. If you pay attention to the overall view of this HDTV you will notice that it is almost identical to Westinghouse’s previous HDTV release.

Though the manual and the remote leave much to be desired, other aspects help make the TX-47450S a great choice. With the remote alone, you will notice that it is not comfortable to hold in your hand as you watch hours of television. The closely located buttons will means lots of errors when you are channel surfing or trying to go to a specific station. The design of the remote is also cluttered and it will be a while before you have accurately memorized where the important buttons are located.

The manual is almost unnecessary are you will find yourself online anyway looking for a printable copy that is better than the print out they included. The instructions were not very clear and some of the wording was too light to read at times. You may spend hours fumbling with the sheets as you attempt to understand just what was written to show you.

The Autosource automatically changes the setting when you connect a device. This is a great choice for you since this is cost-efficient. Though the Westinghouse TX-47F250S doesn’t match with the best, its average features and great sound makes it a good buy. Perfect if you don’t have a surround stereo sound system.

The Sony Bravia KDL-40W3000 is a great piece of equipment and a beautiful HDTV. However, it would be an even better flat screen to purchase if they would lower its street price of $1999. Its not a perfect HDTV but unlike some of the other models, it has very few flaws to distract from what it has to offer a consumer.

For the average viewer of this television, they will be hard pressed to notice that the image quality is not perfect. The onscreen pictures look fine and offers a good view and you would have to look directly and pay close attention to notice a dull quality that is sometimes visible.

In this Sony Bravia KDL-40W3000, they have saved room by joining the picture in picture and freeze frame buttons in one easy to access section. When you hit the freeze button you will immediately notice that the TV will freeze as the small PIP square presents itself. While you are looking at the picture in picture, the larger screen that you were previous viewing will freeze so that you will not miss any of the action while you attempt to take a quick glance at another channel.

The only downside to the picture in picture and freeze frame mode is that Sony neglected to add multiple tuners leaving you with no option in viewing two channels at once. However, they did include a jack to connect your headphones. This will make it easier for you to watch TV without disturbing other people in your household.

Most of us will not place our flat screens in high and hard to reach areas and the convenient location of the menu and control buttons means that you will no longer have to bend down to play with the controls. Unlike most models of flat screen, Sony has placed the controls on the top instead of the bottom and sides. Consumers who may have back problems can easily use the controls if they cannot find the remote right away.

A fatal flaw in the Sony Bravia KDL-40W3000 involves the remote control. The design of the remote is more visually pleasing than it is useful. You will not find a menu control and you will instead have to go through other options on the remote to reach that setting. You will find that a number of actions have to be performed before you can reach the desired control that you were searching for. It can also be confusing trying to scroll through the options as it is not always clear which way you should guide the buttons if you hope to proceed.

While the remote offers a lot of key issues when you first begin, it will become easier to use once you become accustomed to its design. After the initial setup and installation, you will not have a lot of use for the menu options, so its lack of a good position on the remote won’t be a problem for very long.

The use of the remote may offer some problems that will resolve themselves at a later time, but the actual remote itself may cause further problems for consumers. The remote control is extremely long due to its many buttons and this can lead to difficulty when you are trying to work the controls.

Overall, if you are not turned off by the problems with the remote, you will love the Sony Bravia and get a lot of use out of this great HDTV.

User-friendly and a certified eye candy–two reasons why this TV set is an excellent choice.

Save for some minor slips like images on shown on the set that’s lacking detail and user’s manual isn’t completely helpful, the Samsung LN46A550 is almost a complete package. It is easy to see that this TV is almost perfect.

First up is an image test. We scouted nine 46- and 47-inch high definition sets .And among these; it is the one from Samsung that got attention. This set particularly got a high rating for its Blu-ray discs. The set makes pictures look like they’ve come straight from 35mm print as shown when we viewed Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Vizio’s VO47LF and the Syntax-Brillian’s Olevia 747i followed the ratings of the Samsung.

Speaking of audio, the TV’s audio system isn’t primed for high-end sound experience. But if you’re in for talk and regular shows, then the set’s audio will just be fine and you can omit the surround sound stereo. However, if you prefer to listen to deafening sounds of your movies, an external gadget can easily be used to improve the sound quality.

Yes, this TV is easy to use. It has an icon-based on-screen menu that can be understood easily. Need help? Then there’s an explanation about the menu as well. When you need to check up on options for the current input, all you need to do is to access the separate tools button on the remote control.

This works just like your pc’s mouse. There’s more; when you need to play a connected device, the easy-to-use LN46A550 instantly switches the input to that source. A major feature of the Samsung is the convenience factor. Much of the controls that need to be used can be used automatically, without the need of a few extra steps.

One of the only problems that you will find involves the remote control. It has backlit buttons that are large enough to be viewed by almost everyone, however if you like the picture in picture option and use it frequently, you will have to go through the menu option each time, there are no buttons assigned to it. Another issue with the remote is that you cannot use it to control other electronics such as a VCR because there is no way to program it.

With large and easy to see buttons, you’d think that the remote control is perfect. Not quite. Missing is a helpful PiP button for your easy access to Picture-in-Picture. Also, that ratio button is mislabeled. Who will immediately know what a P-Size is? Playing your devices like DVD will be tasking as well since it isn’t programmable. Well you can still play these devices if you want to, granted that you use the brand’s proprietary Anynet technology. The HDMI ‘s Consumer Electronics Control channel will make it possible.

The set-up guide and bilingual manual is supposed to facilitate that easy set-up. But the opposite happens. The guide is difficult to comprehend for the non-techie person and the manual is long and too complicated. While the price of some flat screen TV’s are too high due to a bad product, the Samsung offers enough options to justify the price.

So why is the LN46A550 such a good buy at $1500? That’s because of its features. Its USB port is helpful when you view pictures and listen to music. On the side of the set are the easy-to-access HDMI, S-Video and the USB. Want to change the angle of the set for viewing pleasure? Then you can do that as well, as the set can swivel on its stand. Reasons such as these help make the set a well-rounded HDTV and a winner.

 

A closer, more personal inspection of the Samsung FP-T5084 Plasma TV reveals that it’s a product that boasts of good performance and notable features at a very reasonable price.

With rich colors and crisp display of details, this plasma TV could be considered a very good bargain at $2400. Housed in a sleek cabinet, the 50-inch TV set has made its way to the Best Buy section of its category.

Skin tones and other natural colors appear very much realistic especially in high-definition images or scenes in programs like The George Lopez Show. Vivid tones and details are excellently displayed in animated films like the Corpse Bride. Baseball games in standard-definition mode make the oranges and greens appear more saturated giving way to a above-average score for the FP-T5084. The test also reveals that this TV is able to display fine details in dark areas. Images too, show very little hint of pixels, which is very good.

The on-screen display (OSD) shows the controls for the color temperature for easy management of display settings.. This showcases a White Balance section that includes adjustable settings like RGB gain and offset controls. There is also a menu to set pink, green, blue and white separately via the My Color Control mode.

Samsung’s Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe), which comes with the FP-T5084 make images sharper and more vivid with add-ons like noise reduction, color enhancement and motion processing features. When set to function, DNIe really made the picture look sharper and brighter, although it became a bit more unnatural. When enabled, the DNIe is good in a way but the TV’s Standard and Movie mode presets still make viewing with the FP-T5084 more natural and thus more preferable.

When it comes to the back connectors, the Samsung FP-T5084 implemented them in a sleek and convenient design. They added two composites, S video hookups and video input connections. There are also three HDMI hookups which are perfect for gamers as it means less time of having to remove cords to attach game cords for select consoles.

The remote control is easy to use and designed to look like the remotes of other electronics such as a DVD player, so you may already be familiar with the layout. While the remote is easy to hold and comfortable, some of the buttons are cluttered to closely together and this can cause you to press the wrong control on many occasions. Other buttons are smaller than some consumers can bare and they may be too hard to see.

The Samsung FP-T5084 has a great menu system and placed near the bottom, it is easy to access. However, its small size may confuse some users until they adjust to its placement. Using a variety of color options such as cool and warm, you can easily set the colors to the adjustments that are best for your eyes and home.

The Samsung plasma screen also has a long list of great features that will allow you to get the picture just right. The gamma system uses a 7 code selection, while the black colors have just 3. You can also adjust the colors using the color control but amateurs may want to avoid using this option.

Although not fully featured and not state-of-the-art, the Samsung FP-T5084 is the HDTV set that has proven its quality in performance and has furthermore gained points with its inexpensive price tag.
