ViewSonic VX1962wm review

Reviews With the monitor set to the 6500K colour temperature, we noticed that King Kong on DVD had an overall yellowish hue to it, almost as if the film stock itself had a yellow coating. It has its fair share of problems, however, including a relatively...

Loewe Connect 37 Media Full-HD+ DR+ review

Reviews We used King Kong to test the HD material and had excellent results. Sure, the Loewe Connect 37 Media Full-HD+ DR+ is a ridiculous product name. To some extent, though, it's easier to remember than a traditional model number, like, say, Loewe...

Denon AVR-1908 review

Reviews This can leave energetic film sequences, such as the final skyscraper battle in King Kong, wanting more. Denon's range of AV receivers covers everything from entry-level to state-of-the-art models -- all of which are expertly designed and capable...

Sanyo CE32LD81-B review

Reviews HD scenes that we know to be packed with lovely fine detail, like the shots of the jungles of Skull Island on the King Kong HD DVD, look slightly soft and fuzzy on this Sanyo, lacking the 'snap' that usually makes HD so adorable.

LG 42LF66 review

Reviews The 42LF66's other great strength is the precision of its HD rendering, as it serves up pixel-perfect, crisp and largely noiseless versions of detail-packed HD scenes like those in the jungles of Skull Island on the King Kong HD DVD.

Onkyo TX-SR875 review

Reviews We tested a whole bunch of material, from DVDs like the remastered James Bond movies, to our favourites like Serenity and King Kong. If you want to experience cinema-style surround sound in the comfort of your own home, then you're going to need...

Nokia N76 review

Reviews To be blunt, you'd have to have hands like King Kong for it to feel comfortable. Rejoice. Not only has Nokia finally made a thin clamshell phone with the N76, but as a poke in the eye to Motorola's Razr range it's gone and stuffed it full of...

Samsung LE46F86 review

Reviews Our usual collection of test discs, including Serenity and Happy Gilmore, looked stunning and we saw plenty of detail in King Kong's fur, too. Now you can't throw a scone without hitting one. But this is good news, because 1080p makes HD DVD and...

Panasonic TH-50PZ700 review

Reviews For instance, you can make out every strand of fur on the giant ape's body while watching the HD DVD of Peter Jackson's King Kong. While LCD technology seemingly thinks nothing of fitting full HD pixel counts into its screens, full HD plasma TVs at...

Pioneer PDP-508XD review

Reviews King Kong, running at 24fps, moves beautifully smoothly on the screen, with none of the juddering effect one often sees on flat panels. It launched the world's first plasma television back in 1997 and it has just unveiled its eighth generation of...

LG 60PF95 review

Reviews The HD DVD version of King Kong is so well authored that it looks excellent on almost any HDTV, but here it's nothing short of astounding. This means smoky or misty scenes, such as the boat's entry into the fog in King Kong, remain crisp and don't...

Blu-ray and HD DVD: The facts

Digital Living Take the climactic Empire State Building sequence of Peter Jackson’s version of King Kong, for example. Swap it for the HD DVD version and it's as if you've removed a layer of grime and Vaseline from your screen: individual bristles can be made out...

Toshiba HD-XE1: Good things come to those who wait

Crave The remote control is fantastic -- it feels like you could beat King Kong to death with it. It's no secret: we've been on the edges of our seats, waiting for the 1080p HD DVD player from Toshiba, for a while now.

Crave Talk: When will the HD DVD vs Blu-ray madness end?

Crave So far I've watched Superman Returns, King Kong, Happy Gilmore and most exciting of all, Serenity. I have no doubt that by this time next year the skirmish between the two hi-def disc formats will be over.
