Samsung Q1 review

Reviews At the rear of the Q1, there are two flip-out stands -- one for resting it on a desk at a 45-degree angle, and another for resting it at a 20-degree angle. The Samsung Q1 is the world's first physical implementation of Microsoft's much-hyped...

Philips Cineos 52PFL9632D review

Reviews WeaknessesStandard definition material from the built-in Freeview tuner doesn't impress to the same degree, with noise on show -- although it certainly isn't bad considering the huge screen size. Sound quality is a little tinny compared to the...

Sony Bravia KDL-46W3000 review

Reviews The problem is simply that as objects move around the screen, they blur and smear to a really quite alarming degree, making high and standard definition sources alike look distractingly soft and unnatural.

Nikon Coolpix 8400 review

Reviews Digital cameras equipped with a 39mm (equivalent) wide-angle lens offer only about a 56-degree angle of view; this camera's 24mm (equivalent) focal length translates into a whopping 84-degree perspective, which makes even the Coolpix 8800's 35mm...

Kodak EasyShare V705 review

Reviews Like the V570, the V705 includes a panorama shooting mode, and since the 23mm lens is so wide, you can make a 180-degree panorama with as few as three shots. When Kodak introduced the V570 at CES last January, some editors were confused by Kodak's...

Dell UltraSharp 2707WFP review

Reviews Everyone has their own idea of the perfect display size, determined by some mystical combination of applications used, available desk space, viewing distance and resolution -- tempered by a degree of techie feng shui and a hearty dose of budgetary...

lossy compression

Reviews With graphics, video, and audio files, a certain degree of lost data won't be noticeable, so many of those file formats use lossy compression (JPEG is an example). A method of file compression in which some data in the original file is lost when...

Goodmans GHD1621F2 review

Reviews Digital recorders or PVRs (personal video recorders) offer the most affordable and easiest way of recording television programmes -- think of a 21st century VCR that doesn't need tapes or a Masters degree to operate.

Hitachi TRK100DAB review

Reviews The top panel is tilted forward at a 45 degree angle -- presumably for easy access to its buttons -- but it serves to give the radio an unwelcoming, clinical air. The TRK100DAB is a radio to put in your kitchen or bathroom and have tinkling away...

Nokia 3250 review

Reviews Quite literally -- its key feature is that you can twist the number pad section through a total of 270 degrees in 90 degree bursts, providing you with controls for both music playing and the built-in camera.

Creative Zen Nano Plus (1GB) review

Reviews Nirvana's Drain You lost a perceptible degree of clout -- the high end felt slightly cramped and the bass sloppy. Given the recent launch of Apple's iPod nano, the Creative Zen Nano Plus -- which came out first -- has been pushed into the shadows.

Vosonic VP8360 review

Reviews These are perfectly positioned for use when the player is docked or held, but it's difficult to get the player in a trouser pocket without bending the bottom of the headphone cable to an unacceptable degree.
