Are you properly equipped to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday?

You've got the food menu set. The drinks are on ice. But what about your TV?

Well, it's not too late to get that TV -- in fact, plenty of retailers offer deals just for the Super Bowl. Take a look at Switched.com's suggested list of Super Bowl-ready high definition TVs to get the most out of the game -- and we've taken budget into account, so there's sure to be something in here for you. But first, some advice and definitions.

What is the best size high definition TV for watching the Super Bowl? Is it a 32-inch set? 50-inch? 65-inch? That really depends on the size of your room and how far away you'll be from the TV set. The folks at CNET have a great guide to choosing the right size widescreen TV for your viewing space.

Next, LCD TVs are sometimes knocked for not being able to show fast moving images very well, so sports action could look a little blurry. Most LCDs have a refresh rate of 60hz but many being introduced to the market now clock in at 120hz. For watching a fast-moving game like the Super Bowl you may want to consider spending a little more for a TV that can handle all the action. Still, most people won't be able to tell the difference between the two. (Plasma and DLP TVs don't have this problem at all.)

Let's not forget about sound. More than most people think, the audio experience is vital to enjoying the game. Do you rely on the sound from the TV's speakers or go with something more? For a quick fix that you can implement between now and game time, we recommend a home-theater-in-a-box system (or HTIB), such as the Panasonic SC-PT950 Wireless Home Theater.

Finally, do you actually have an HD feed? It's important to remember that even if you have a high definition TV display, you don't automatically get an HD signal. Very often people get an HDTV set home and don't realize their cable box doesn't deliver the proper signal. If you don't already know what kind of service you have, it's time to call your cable company. An easy way to get started is by going to 1-800-OK-Cable or calling that number. If you get your TV signal via satellite you'll want to contact Dish Network (with HD plans starting at $42.99 per month) or DirecTV (which lets you add HD channels with a $9.99 per month upgrade) to check on your service. And if you get your TV signal the old fashioned way (over the air) then you just need to be sure you can properly receive the HD signal. The Consumer Electronics Association has a good site to help you with this.

Now, on the TVs:

If you're thinking small: The 32-inch Sharp LC-32GP1U high definition LCD TV will set you back about $1,100, but delivers a good picture. While it does have 1080p resolution this doesn't have a big impact at 32 inches because at that screen size 720p resolution is sufficient. This unit also does a good job displaying standard definition video -- and since lots of TV programming still isn't high def, this unit's upscaling capability will be an important consideration for you.

• Switch out the headphones. The standard white iPod buds make you an obvious target for anyone who specifically wants the generally-more-coveted iPod or iPhone, so go for something less expensive looking.
• Conceal it. Avoid clipping your audio player onto your belt, which not only looks dorky, but also makes it much easier for robbers to grab than if it were hidden inside your clothing. As an alternative, go for an armband or something that secures it to your body.
• Be careful where you take it. Schools and subways are common areas for these kinds of thefts.
• Install tracking software, such as GadgetTrak. When connected to a computer, the software on your stolen device sends all the robber's computer information, including username, ISP, network address and more back to the company, which can very well lead to recovery.
• Never leave it unattended, anywhere. Duh.

In the beginning, Bluetooth headsets were a bit off-putting. You stuck one in your ear, called a friend on your mobile phone, and watched as people on the street looked on as you had a conversation -- seemingly with yourself. But things have changed drastically since then. These small, wireless gadgets are now ubiquitous, gracing the earlobes of everyone from the guy on the next treadmill to your grandma in her car. So what are the coolest, most innovative we saw at CES that'll find their way to store shelves this year? Take a look at our five favorites:

Soon it may be easier to list the companies that don't have navigation devices in their roster of products than those who do.

If the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show proved anything about the personal navigation category, it's that finding your way from point A to point B is what manufacturer's think will get you to find your way to the store to buy a new GPS device.

Garmin and TomTom, the two leading personal navigation device (PND) makers, are certainly looking over their shoulders as major brands such as Sony, Panasonic and Pioneer introduce new devices. Rather than being simply test products for a burgeoning market, the new GPS devices by these major cross-category consumer electronics companies are serious contenders, offer a plethora of the latest features.

Nevertheless, even upstart companies such as the one below are adding innovative features into the mix. The result? There has never been a better year to take the plunge and buy yourself a GPS device.

If you're in the market for a new GPS device this year, you should take a look at our roundup. We've compiled a list of the most anticipated new navigation devices coming out in 2008, along with release dates.

Improved real-time traffic data: No new products at the show, but a continued push to get consumers to pre-order its upcoming product launch. What's special about DASH? It offers real-time traffic data based on the position of other DASH-equipped cars (plus data from a host of other sources). If the product works as promised, the extra bulk of the unit on your windshield won't matter because you'll be getting where you need to go in less time. The DASH Express will cost $599.99.

In the world of computing, small is in. Be they laptops or desktops, PCs keep getting smaller. And that's not a bad thing. Smaller means a laptop is easier to toss in a backpack without feeling like you're carrying a computer, or that a desktop can be moved to the living room without looking too tacky. Bottom line: Smaller PCs can be hidden completely from view.

We took a walk around CES collecting shots of the tiniest PCs we could find. Including some that make the Mac Mini look downright bulky.

Sure, iPods are cool, but they're just not the status symbol they once were, and there's nothing cool about having sleekest slimmest laptop on the market if everyone else has one, too.

Companies are realizing this and know that people, especially fiercely independent Americans, have a need to be different. So, as a way to make their products stand out (and their customers feel a little more unique), consumer electronics producers have taken to decorating many of their goods with graffiti and modern-art inspired graphics, intricate etchings, vaguely Japanese designs, and yes, even leather.

We wandered around CES and snapped pictures of some of the coolest examples of decorative electronics and customization options available to try and make you the consumer feel a little less like just part of the herd.
