Philips 42PFL9803 review

Reviews You also get component video in, a VGA connection for your media centre PC or Xbox 360, and there are a pair of Scart sockets to hook up that older, standard-definition equipment. The Achilles' heel of LCD TVs has, for a long time, been the backlight.

Hands-on the Hitachi DZ-HV564: HD on SD

Crave In the current economic climate, we're still waiting to see how everything will fall out; but one of the results has been the arrival of high definition in the lower reaches of the market. It shoots 1,440x1,080-pixel resolution video, so is...

Sony BDP-S350: Sony strikes Blu gold

Crave There's HDMI and component for HD output and even S-Video and composite for standard definition, perhaps if your plasma breaks and you have to lug the CRT down from the loft. We've never been slow to criticise stand-alone Blu-ray players, and...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 review

Reviews Of course, it isn't just an OS issue: the Xperia X1's screen isn't as sensitive as we’ve become accustomed to on the iPhone and the keypad isn't as great as we'd hoped -- a little more definition on the keys goes a long way.

Canon HG21 review

Reviews The Canon HG21 is a high-class, high-definition camcorder. The HG21 records full high definition video at 1920x1080p. Video is crisp with plenty of fine detail, as you'd expect from a high definition model.

Pentax K-m review

Reviews Pentax’s 18-55mm kit zoom has never been one of the world’s greatest optics, with poor edge definition and a good deal of chromatic aberration. Pentax has decided to launch an attack on the bottom end of the D-SLR market with its new 10-megapixel K...

Does Twitter help with Mumbai coverage?

Crave But as I have tried to argue before, Twitter reports are a valuable 'first draft of history,' and that is a pretty good definition of the news. As the tragic events unfolded in Mumbai, India, the Internet backchannel came to the foreground with...

Dell Studio Hybrid review

Reviews Small form factor PCs don't usually offer high-definition movie playback, but the Studio Hybrid is different. The high-end model has the option of an integrated Blu-ray reader, which lets you play high-definition content over HDMI or DVI, provided...

Photos: Hands-on with the high-definition Canon HG21

Crave Can we draw a parallel between that and the coming of age of high-definition video? 21 is the year you come of age. Er, no, not really. We'll stick to telling you about the Canon HG21, an HD hybrid camcorder.

Pioneer BDP-LX71 review

Reviews Obviously there's an HDMI socket, which will be the best way for you to get high-definition 1080p video to your television. Handy if you have plenty of standard-definition video you've downloaded from the Internet, but not so useful if you have a...

Casio Exilim Pro EX-FH20 review

Reviews Even at standard 30fps, the FH20 shoots 720p high definition video. But after its even faster predecessor -- the record-breaking 1,200fps F1 -- proved to be more gimmicky than useful, we're determined to see past the impressive numbers and see what...

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS review

Reviews Overall definition is good, but it definitely softens up at full zoom and in the corners of the frame. Canon's just replaced its PowerShot S5 IS superzoom compact with two new models, the cheaper of which is the the PowerShot SX10.

Crave predicts the future: Flip Mino goes HD

Crave As we predicted just last month, Flip Video has taken the high-definition plunge. So the numbers add up, but the jury's out on whether small camcorders such as this and the Kodak Zi6 qualify as giving the true high-definition experience.
