Freeview HD launch: BBC HD and ITV1 HD now available -- sort of

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:28:02 +0000

On 2 December, Freeview HD launched, at least technically. Sadly, there's no equipment that can receive the broadcasts at the moment, but the channels are certainly up and running

Samsung WB550 review

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:12:01 +0000

The 12.2-megapixel WB550 compact superzoom offers a 24mm-equivalent wideangle lens with 10x zoom, giving you plenty of shooting flexibility. While its picture quality doesn't set any new standards, it provides plenty of features and full manual and auto controls, which should keep you experimenting

Samsung ST1000 review

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:01:01 +0000

The 12.2-megapixel ST1000 is a classy camera, with a great design and top-notch, ultra-high-resolution touchscreen. The real stars of the show, though, are its Wi-Fi, bluetooth and GPS features. We've seen wireless cameras before, but Samsung's finally shown how it should be done

Acer H243H review

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:59:02 +0000

The 24-inch, 1080p H243H dispenses with fancy frills and extraneous gimmicks, while keeping all the key features that make for a worthwhile monitor. It may be relatively expensive, but it offers an elegant design, an extremely clear menu system, and picture quality that will satisfy all but the fussiest of users

Wii iPlayer vs PS3 iPlayer test: which is best for free BBC TV?

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:33:02 +0000

iPlayer picture quality on the Wii has been awful, but the dedicated new channel could change all that. We test it out and compare it to the iPlayer experience on the PlayStation 3

Philips 9704: LED Pro TV with Wi-Fi

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:15:02 +0000

Philips is trying to conquer the high-end TV market with its new 9704 range, in the form of the 40-inch 40PFL9704 and 46-inch 46PFL9704. £2,500 for a TV, anyone?

Panasonic SC-BTX70 review

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:58:02 +0000

The 2.1-channel Panasonic SC-BTX70 home-cinema system with built-in Blu-ray player is a curious-looking specimen, and its virtual 7.1-channel surround-sound processing isn't entirely convincing. But its picture quality is fantastic and its super-slim main component will suit those who like to mount their equipment on the wall

Sony BDP-S760 review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:58:02 +0000

At last, Sony has delivered the awesome stand-alone Blu-ray player that we always knew it was capable of making. Aesthetically, the BDP-S760 is about as original as cake, and a few other recent players may have more features, but it delivers the best Blu-ray pictures we've seen this side of £500

Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:55:02 +0000

The 12-megapixel FinePix S200EXR offers the features, controls and handling of a digital SLR at a much lower price, and its EXR sensor technology means it outguns its superzoom rivals. We'd like to see the clever EXR features better integrated with the rest of the camera's controls, though
