Sleeping troubles on the road are as common as flight delays. There’s not much you can do about the airlines.

But you can fire up a little tranquility when the lights in your roof are turned off with the battery-powered Sound Oasis.

The loops of the sound effects are too short for our liking. But the choices are good: north woods, spring rain… and the audio quality is good.

An alarm clock is included to do the other job… getting you up after a good night’s sleep.

The Sound Oasis Travel Therapy System retails for $89.95.

Yes… the MyVu video glasses look rather bizarre. But what you’re looking at when you plug these into your iPod looks pretty good.

Watching video with MyVu video glasses isn’t exactly a brave new world experience. The MyVu doesn’t completely wrap around you so the distractions of the outside world seep in.

Gamers… nothing special.

But the MyVu goggles deliver a decent, if not stunning resolution…. At least 320×240.
A bit pricey at $270.

How to pick the best size LCD… you would think it’s simple. Bigger is better. Buy as much as you can afford.

The best tool: your eyes. It isn’t always to use this though when in the store. So before you shop, know how far away from the screen you’ll be when you’re watching.

Here is a good way to measure a minimum viewing distance.
For a 720p resolution screen, divide the distance from the screen to where you’ll watching from, using inches, by 2.5. For 1080p sets, divide the distance by 1.5.

For instance, for a 1080p screen, if you’ll be 8 feet away you’ll want a 64 inch LCD, and if you’re 6 feet away, a 48 inch screen.
