Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:44:01 +0000

The 42-inch, 1080p Connect 42 Media Full-HD+ 100 DR+ is the very definition of a premium LCD TV. It looks stunning in every set-up option, its multimedia capability is unparalleled, it delivers positively Olympian sound, and its pictures are frequently awesome

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:03:02 +0000

Acer Ferrari One review

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:46:01 +0000

There's no denying that the Ferrari One is the best netbook so far, offering a larger-than-usual, 11.6-inch screen, speedy performance, and a truly excellent keyboard. If you can live with a lid that may cause people to question the length of your reproductive appendage, you won't be disappointed

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:59:02 +0000

If you thought media streamers don't get better than the Popcorn Hour A-100 and A-110, the C-200 may make you revise your opinion. Offering a new design and even more features, including a slot for a Blu-ray drive, it's a great device that will be even better once a few bugs are ironed out

Sharp HTSB200 review

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:00:01 +0000

For those who are short on space but still want to boost the audio quality of their flat-screen TV, the long and slim HTSB200 2.1-channel surround-sound speaker bar is a decent option. Its performance at high volumes isn't great, but, at normal volumes, it adds a significant amount of oomph

Popcorn Hour C-200 Blu-ray media streamer: Hands-on photos

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:08:01 +0000

The Popcorn Hour C-200 is possibly one of the most exciting things we've ever put our sweaty hands on, in large part due to its ability to play both downloaded media and Blu-ray discs
