DT’s ‘Better Than Socks’ Holiday Giveaway: Paradigm Millenia CT 2.1 Multimedia System

Paradigm giveaway headerThere’s a reason that WAF (Wife Approval Factor) is a prevalent acronym in A/V circles. Putting together an audio system that will pass muster with your significant other without sacrificing the audio quality you demand is a tall order. Thankfully, Paradigm has managed to make such a compromise a no-brainer with its Millenia CT 2.1 Multimedia System.

Since the Paradigm Millenia CT 2.1 system is a completely self-contained, fully powered audio solution, there’s no ugly black boxes to try to hide from view. The system includes two Paradigm Reference MilleniaOne speakers that are armed with 4-inch treated-aluminum midbass drivers and 1-inch treated aluminum dome tweeters. Those drivers are housed inside a robust, die-cast aluminum cabinet, available with an outstanding gloss-black or gloss-white finish. Anchoring the low end is Paradigm’s Millenia Sub which, we assure you, sounds just as good as it looks.

The system can be connected to just about any source that outputs audio. Your smartphones, MP3 players, laptop and desktop computers, and even your home entertainment center have never sounded so good. And, believe it or not, we’re giving one of these terrific systems away as part of our ‘Better Than Socks’ Holiday Giveaway.

To enter, just leave a comment below telling us about the first sound system you ever bought for yourself. We’ll close the contest and pick a winner on December 29, 2012.

LG C4 OLED

The best TVs should look great, sound fantastic, and feature numerous optimizations for the types of content people love watching most. And while it would easy to say that a TV billed as 4K is all you need for a great gaming TV, pixel count is just one checkbox. If you’re a diehard gamer (console or PC), there are plenty of other picture specifications to consider when buying a new TV. And while 4K resolution is still essential, features such as HDR (high dynamic range), input lag, and response time are far more critical tech specs to gamers who want their games to be smooth, fast, and looking as good as they can. 

Not all TVs are created equal, and even some of the best TV brands have one or two sets that aren’t great for gaming. That’s why we’ve put together this list of all the best gaming TVs you can buy in 2024.
