TechBargains.com, a leading deal aggregation website for electronic products, breaks down three simple tech-related ways to save on monthly energy bills while being mindful of Mother Nature in time for Earth Day, Sunday, April 22.

Adjust Power Guzzling TV Settings

Televisions, particularly Plasma TVs, consume large amounts of power. Most televisions are set to wow potential buyers in-store with high brightness and contrast levels. Be sure to avoid Dynamic or Vivid modes and turn TVs to Movie, Cinema or Standard mode to use less energy.

Sell, Recycle or Donate Old Gadgets

With the regular release of next generation mobile phones, MP3 players, laptops, and cameras most people accumulate gadgets they no longer need. One option is to sell the gadgets on sites like Craigslist.org or Gazelle.com. Best Buy also has a trade-in program online and in-store where you can hand over old gaming systems, televisions, musical instruments in exchange for a gift card.

Another option is to donate old mobile devices to Cell Phones For Soldiers, a non-profit organization that sells, refurbishes or recycles mobile phones and in turn provides pre-paid calling cards to military men and women overseas.

Install Energy Saving Devices That Pay for Themselves

Smart power strips and intelligent surge protectors can be purchased for under $ 30. These devices reduce the amount of standby energy consumed by televisions, computers and other consumer electronics that are plugged in 24/7. To monitor the amount of power each device consumes, invest in a Kill-a-Watt electricity monitor for under $ 20. The device determines how much power consumer electronics use and some premium models even calculate what an appliance costs to run.

These simple energy saving tips can not only put money back in your pocket, but they help the environment, said Yung Trang, President and Editor in Chief of TechBargains.com. As consumers devote more of their time and money to electronics, energy consumption becomes more of an issue. By taking a few minutes we can each do our part to painlessly and profitably start our own green initiatives at home.

Helpful resources for consumers can be found on Techbargains.coms YouTube channel which focuses on product reviews, product deals, gadget giveaways and seasonal shopping tips.

Although the music industry has languished from sluggish sales over the last half decade, consumer trends have demonstrated that holiday music is immune to the recession year after year, according to a report in Htrnews.

About one-fifth of music sales, including Christmas music, takes place in the last six weeks of the year. In 2010, that totaled more than 71 million albums during the season, the news source said.

“Every year there’s that great new holiday album people want to make sure they’ve got it in their house,” said Dave Bakula, vice president, analytics entertainment for Nielsen, as quoted by Htrnews. “But it never really matters if there’s any better release one year or another; the demand is there every year. Whether it’s gift-giving or the need to have the music of the season on, it seems to be more resilient than the music industry as a whole.”

For established artists, one holiday album gives them a chance to re-enter the album sales charts every year, while newer performers have an opportunity for greater exposure.

If the number of tech reviews in the media during the holidays is any indication, smartphones and other devices to store and play music are also popular during this time of year.

All smartphones are now equipped with music players and capable of hosting music-downloading apps, according to a recent article published in Wired.

People looking for gift ideas for their beloved music fanatics in their lives can visit Serenity Living Stores to find both portable electronics and accessories. The online retailer sells different lines of smartphone cases, available for several brands of devices in a variety of chic and sharp colors.
