Terratec Cinergy T2 review

Reviews On paper it's revolutionary stuff, and it certainly would be in reality if it weren't for the rather limited Freeview coverage. It's clear from the design of the Terratec Cinergy T2 that portability was the order of the day.

Olympus M:robe 500i (20GB) review

Reviews In reality, it has a single power/hold button on its top metallic edge, along with a smart headphone jack and a dock connector on the left and bottom of the device, respectively. However wicked as this sounds in theory, it's one of those features...

Acer Ferrari 5000 review

Reviews It's incredibly masculine and just in case the carbon-fibre lid, black and red colour scheme and yellow Ferrari badge slip past you, the F1 engine start-up noise for Windows will jerk you back to reality.

Navigon 7210 review

Reviews Additionally, you'll see the introduction of 3D landmarks and a new Curve Warner safety feature to go alongside the safety camera database, speed warnings, Lane Assistant and Reality View Pro. Navigon has been working hard to get a foothold in the...

Siemens AX72 review

Reviews That doesn't mean that it doesn't have any modern features though, and in reality it's not as simple as it may first appear. The Siemens AX72 is an entry level, GPRS candybar phone with a simple design and a 65k-colour screen.

Casio Exilim Pro EX-P505 review

Reviews In reality, everything is scaled down to a dinky size. It's a secret -- don't tell anybody. Hybrid cameras aren't true hybrids. Photo cameras inevitably make poor camcorders, and camcorders inevitably take terrible photos.

MSI GX700-204UK review

Reviews The 250GB hard drive may be small compared to some other machines, but in reality, it's more than enough for the casual user. Laptops aren't generally known for their gaming performance, but if you haven't got room for a full-size PC and still want...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200 review

Reviews If you like eye-popping colours and don't mind sacrificing some fine detail and reality to get them, you'll love the saccharine-sweet snaps the T200 serves up. Sony heads uptown, with another brushed metal T-series camera that screams quality and...

Judging picture quality

Reviews Look for these features or characteristics and disregard other features that sound good on the surface but in reality are just marketing ploys. Most electronics shops show their televisions on a big wall, fed by the same video signal split a...

Asus PW201 review

Reviews We can't attest to whether it's actually doing this in reality, but in practice the PW201's movie playback was commendable and colours appeared warmer and more vivid than on screens that lack a glossy coating.

Acer Aspire 7720 review

Reviews The black plastic lid is speckled with small reflective bits -- which is presumably meant to look distinctive, but in reality just makes it look like it's covered in small particles of dust. The Acer Aspire 7720 -- nicknamed 'Gemstone' -- is a...

Samsung HT-TXQ120R review

Reviews The reality of upscaling video to 1080p is that it won't improve the quality. It's pretty hard to find AV stuff without '1080p' emblazoned on it in some way. The Samsung HT-TXQ120R is no different. This 5.1 surround-sound system proudly proclaims...

Popcorn Hour A-110 review

Reviews This might cause some people problems, but in reality most AV receivers have both, and if yours doesn't or all your optical sockets are in use, you can get a converter for less than £10 online. We reviewed the Popcorn Hour A-100 a few months back...

Olympus SP-570 UZ review

Reviews On paper, this is a cracking camera with amazing specifications, but while it's well-designed and well-made, the average picture quality and poor high-zoom and high-ISO performance are a blunt reality check.Edited by Nick Hide

HTC Touch Diamond review

Reviews Sadly, the overwhelming reality of TouchFLO 3D is that it's far too slow compared to the iPhone's interface. But can HTC apply Apple's success by using Windows Mobile and a fancy new interface? The HTC Touch Diamond will be available soon on most...
