Toshiba's BDX2000 Blu-ray player: In person, in pictures

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 17:55:00 +0000

Toshiba's doing Blu-ray now and it's got its first standalone player -- the BDX2000 -- on show here at IFA. We just planted our gaze down upon it, poked it with a stick and can confirm it is, in fact, real

Hitachi P42T01 review

Fri, 06 Jul 2007 07:00:00 +0000

If you're looking for a good-size TV with excellent Freeview and high-definition performance, the 42-inch Hitachi P42T01 plasma may well be of serious interest to you. It has some curious connectivity and below-par sound, but it's excellent value

Alienware m9700 review

Fri, 03 Nov 2006 16:57:02 +0000

Alienware is usually quick off the starting blocks when it comes to a new graphics configuration or technology, but with the m9700 it stands out for another reason -- it's decked out in a rather garish shade of Cyborg Green. It's difficult to fault the core spec, though -- 2GB of RAM and a 2.2GHz processor -- and its 17-inch display is great for gaming

HP LP2465 review

Fri, 03 Nov 2006 12:30:02 +0000

HP's largest LCD monitor, the 24-inch LP2465, is designed for simplicity. While this isn't the right monitor for multimedia entertainment use, its crisp bright picture, vivid colours and ample screen make it a good choice for graphic artists and other multitaskers

Samsung HT-XQ100 review

Thu, 26 Oct 2006 14:56:01 +0000

This affordable, self-contained home cinema system isn't just a pretty face: it gives you DVD playback with full 5.1-channel surround sound, not to mention bags of features. It upscales your standard DVDs to high-definition quality through the HDMI output, and with the 3D sound this is a great budget option for enhancing your movies

Panasonic TUCTH100 review

Wed, 24 Aug 2005 17:54:00 +0000

Panasonic's first stab at a Freeview recorder doesn't pull any punches -- it features two tuners, a wonderful interface and good connectivity. But its 80GB hard drive isn't overwhelmingly large, and at £80 more than the competition, its value credentials are in doubt

Toshiba SD-150E review

Mon, 25 Jul 2005 13:56:00 +0000

The Toshiba SD-150E offers progressive scan video and DivX playback for the very reasonable price of £45. It won't win any prizes for style, but as a bedroom or kitchen DVD player to accompany a flat screen, it's certainly a good value purchase

Wed, 11 May 2005 18:31:00 +0000

So you want a 17-inch monster of a laptop and you're prepared to pay for the privilege. Which of the top giant-screened machines should you choose...
