Panasonic PT-AX100E review

Reviews Panasonic claims its PT-AX100E boasts class-leading brightness for a home cinema projector. This is supported by so-called 'Light Harmoniser' technology, which automatically detects ambient light and adjusts brightness and black levels accordingly.

black level

Judging picture quality

Reviews Don't fall for brightness. You want the pictures -- not necessarily the controls -- to be roughly equal in brightness, contrast and colour. Most electronics shops show their televisions on a big wall, fed by the same video signal split a hundred...

Dell 2300MP review

Reviews The brightness also leaves a lot to be desired, making this a projector that's only suitable for a darkened room. User mode allows you to adapt the brightness, contrast and colour settings yourself using a test disc and save them to a preset...

Apple iMac Core 2 Duo (24-inch, 2.16GHz) review

Reviews Apple has also improved the brightness. We looked at the 24-inch model next to a 17-inch Core 2 Duo iMac (with the old brightness level) and the higher-end screen's image gleamed in comparison. We like both products, but neither features a screen...

Hitachi L42VP01 review

Reviews But although this means you have to sacrifice some brightness when watching dark scenes, it's a system now employed by practically every LCD TV around, and it generally works well enough. What's more, it does this without the picture losing as much...
