Sagem Axium HD-D56 review

Reviews It's a move into the smallest part of the already niche market of big-screen TVs -- like Apple suddenly deciding to make electric cars. A French company known for its mobile phones decides to make a rear-projection television?

LCD (liquid-crystal display)

Reviews An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light can or cannot pass through them, thus creating the images on the screen. A technology used in creating displays for laptop computers, tablet PCs, personal...

Panasonic SDR-S10 review

Reviews Panasonic has opted for a compact, black and silver design that can only be described as 'retro 80s electric shaver'. Panasonic takes a step sideways from its powerful triple CCD and hi-def shooters to deliver a quirky, all-weather flash memory...

Eclipse TD307PAII review

Reviews Rated at 12W, this pyramid-esque system may look like a trendy electric pencil sharpener from the 80s, but it's actually a very capable amp with extremely low levels of distortion. The speakers that came with your PC are likely to do the job of...

Pick the right peripherals

Reviews When exposed to electric current, the molecules of liquid-crystal material change their alignment to either transmit or block light, which ultimately creates an image. Do you want a less expensive but bulky CRT or a sleek LCD?

Kodak EasyShare ZD710 review

Reviews Like most superzooms, the ZD710 is saddled with an electric viewfinder. Camera manufacturers, out of all the gadget-makers out there, are mercifully willing to give their products relatively sensible names.

Phones by personality

Reviews From electric pink to golden brown, there is a phone to suit almost any taste -- you can even get a diamond-encrusted model. Camera phones have recently started to offer similar resolutions and features to compact digital cameras.

Toshiba MT400 review

Reviews Unfortunately, there's no accompanying PC audio input, but there is an RS-232 control input that lets you connect to a home-automation system -- so you can setup an electric screen to be lowered the moment the projector turns on, for instance.

Dell XPS 710 H2C review

Reviews The custom-designed H2C cooler combines standard water cooling with thermo-electric heat dissipation of the sort you usually find on a NASA space shuttle. Many thought Dell's XPS gaming brand would vanish into obscurity after the company acquired...

Sonic Gear i-Steroid review

Reviews By inserting a thin gauze in the gap between the elements and sending a weaker current through it (for example, the input from an electric guitar pickup), the stronger signal will pick up the characteristics of the weaker one.

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Studio review

Reviews Switching to the heavier, often sludgy textures of art rockers Deerhoof on its latest album, The Runners Four, proves that often the greatest sounds an electric bass makes lie in the midfrequencies, not the low end, and the Super.fi 3s highlight...

Yamaha AW1600 review

Reviews The AW1600 also offers gating and a Hi-Z input for patching an electric or bass guitar straight into the desk. Digital multitrackers (devices that record more than one track simultaneously), in particular, have gone from novelty to serious...

Pentax K200D review

Reviews White balance is slightly off under electric lighting, but the range of presets is always within easy range. This new entry-level dSLR shares a lineage with the Samsung GX dSLR range due to a deal between the two companies.

Apple iPod classic review

Reviews We pumped a lossless rip of Electric Uncle Sam by Primus through our classic, using our Denon AH-D5000 headphones. Coming in 80GB and 160GB capacities -- costing £159 and £229 respectively -- the classic can hold a massive archive of music and video.
