With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you will want to start thinking about what great technology gifts you could get for your special someone to go along with flowers and chocolates. While you could go all out and spend a fortune showing them how much you care, you don’t have to break the bank.

There are plenty of great tech gifts that do not cost a fortune which your loved one is sure to enjoy—like these four budget-friendly gifts:

1. Universal Remote Control

If your loved one is always misplacing one of the remotes to their home entertainment system or they are tired of the pile of remotes they need to use to watch a movie or TV, then a universal remote control is a great tech gift.

2. Cable Organizers

If the sight of the gazillion cables behind the entertainment center is a major distraction when spending time with your special someone, help them get their cables organized and covered up so they are out of sight.

3. Wi-Fi Remote Control for TV

A wi-fi remote control for TV is one of the latest advances in home entertainment technology. Rather than have wires running down the wall to connected devices, you plug your devices into a wireless transmitter. On the TV, you plug in the wireless receiver. Signals are sent wirelessly from connected devices to the TV.

4. Home Theater Speaker System/Soundbar

You can find home theater speaker systems and soundbars that provide a decent output at affordable prices to surprise your loved one this Valentine’s Day. When choosing a system or soundbar, verify it is compatible with their brand of TV.

When Should I Change My Projector Bulb?

If you use a projector to watch TV and movies, you want to make sure you change the projector light bulb at the right time. If you change it before it needs it, you are throwing money away. If you wait too long, then you could damage your projector.

To help decide “When should I change my projector bulb?” look for these common signs:

1. Colors look faded and are not as vibrant.

As the bulb nears the end of its usefulness, colors will start to appear noticeably less vibrant and rich. They can look faded or be the wrong shade.

2. The images look distorted and not as sharp.

Another effect of the bulb wearing out is that images will appear blurry and distorted.

3. The images look dim.

As the bulb wears out, images will start to appear dimmer and dimmer, until the bulb fails.

4. Images are flickering.

Flickering is when the images will get brighter for a few seconds and then return to normal. It is a sign the bulb is defective and wearing out.

5. The indicator on your projector says to replace the bulb.

Most newer-modeled digital light processing (DLP) projectors have an indicator light on them that will alert you when it is time to replace the blub.

Long before your projector starts showing signs that the bulb needs to be replaced, it is a good idea to order and stock at least two spare bulbs. This way, when it is time to replace the bulb, you won’t have to wait. Always make sure to use OEM (original equipment manufacturer) replacement bulbs to avoid damaging your projector.
