Creative Zen Stone Plus with Speaker review
Reviews It now features an attractive matte finish, contrary to the gloss of the original, but making up in professionalism what it loses in glint. If you liked what you saw of Creative's Zen Stone Plus, you now have a choice on your hands: buy the...

projectiondesign Action! M20 review
Reviews It's way smaller than most 'serious' DLP projectors, making it a really practical coffee-table or portable option, and its high gloss finish -- available in grey, white or blue -- is cute as can be. Norwegian company projectiondesign is relatively...

Creative Aurvana Live headphones review
Reviews Creative's trademark gloss, alongside a bright silver, ran the risk of giving off an image traditionally associated with cheaper models. Aurvana may be a made-up word, but 'Live' certainly isn't, and that's the key.

Samsung PS42Q97HDX review
Reviews But the set actually grabs our attention even more once it's unboxed, as it's great looking, with a high gloss finish and stylish combination of angles and curves. Samsung has designed its latest 42-inch plasma TV, the PS42Q97HDX, with a very...

Apple iPod classic review
Reviews The Click Wheel too has been steered from shiny gloss to matte, the result being a less scratch-prone finish. Almost a full two years since its last full-size iPod, Apple has unleashed the iPod classic.

Denon DHT-FS3 review
Reviews The build quality is another major plus point, with both the sub and the main unit feeling reassuringly sturdy and solid, while keeping it classy in a high-gloss black finish. Designed to deliver a user-friendly, compact and almost wire-free...

Nokia N96 review
Reviews The handset still has quite a bulky frame, but instead of the matte finish, it comes with an altogether more stylish-looking high-gloss exterior. Since then it's been joined by other do-it-all phones such as the iPhone 3G and T-mobile G1.

Toshiba TDP-ET20 review
Reviews DesignThe ET20 looks like it was shipped straight from the set of Star Wars -- the sculpted, futuristic design resembles Darth Vader's headgear and is finished in a similarly menacing gloss black. As an all-inclusive system that lets you watch...

Sharp Aquos LC-32XL8E review
Reviews The TV is largely black, and of course it's an ultra-reflective gloss, rather than a matte black, which is still the de-facto style for flat-panel TVs. If you want a smart-looking TV that supports 'Full HD' 1080p resolution, includes 100Hz picture...

Toshiba Regza 37X3030D review
Reviews The screen is surrounded by a gloss-black frame, which is all the rage, but the reflectiveness can be slightly distracting when you're watching TV. Toshiba plays the ace card with its Regza 37X3030D: it features support for a 1080p picture at a...

Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere review
Reviews The high-gloss finish doesn't exactly match the metallic hues of the latest crop of iPods, but the brushed-silver trim should go nicely. In a market brimming with iPod speaker systems, it can be hard to compete.

Samsung PS42Q7HD review
Reviews The gloss black frame is underscored by a brushed metal speaker system and pedestal stand, and is guaranteed to attract admiring glances. Samsung's 42Q7HD attempts to recreate the recent success of the company's impressive and affordable LCD range...

Elonex Artisan review
Reviews It's not exactly a relaxing piece of design -- the black gloss of Darth Vader's helmet comes to mind -- and it demands some tinkering before working properly. Microsoft's assault on the living room has been more of a trickle than a stampede, but...

Nikon Coolpix S210 review
Reviews The brushed metal front looks good but the gloss effect on the rest of the frame looks unfortunately cheap. Nikon believes that the Coolpix S210 could be one of its bigger sellers this year. It's certainly got a friendly price, costing £140 online.

HP Compaq 8710p review
Reviews You can also get (more expensive) models with a 1,680 by 1,050-pixel display, with or without the high-gloss BrightView technology. This 8710p laptop is from the Performance range. Prices for different configurations of the 8710p average around £1...
