Linksys KiSS 1600 review

Reviews Apple TV looks good and has a slick interface but the lack of material for it renders it little more than an expensive waste of electricity. Using a wired network is even easier, and you'll need to do this for streaming HD material, as Wi-Fi can't...

Denon DN-S3500 review

Reviews The deck will use the sensory data from the platter to instantaneously alter playback of the source material. Using pairs of turntables and a mixer, they hacked together rudimentary systems that let them cue material on one deck while a record...

Freecom Network Media Player 350 WLAN review

Reviews We tried a variety of material, from samples we downloaded from the Internet, to some DVD-originated material which we had for testing surround-sound systems. Everything looked as it should, but high-definition material in the WMV format looked...

Denon AH-D2000 headphones review

Reviews This material difference affects the tone of the headphones' bass, given that wooden enclosures tend to offer a more natural sound, but we'll come to that shortly. Present still are the exceptionally comfortable padded earcups -- though the...

Sony KDS-55A2000 review

Reviews It performs brilliantly with both HD and standard-definition material, has plenty of connections for hooking up your gear and yet costs less than half of what you'd expect to pay for a similar-sized plasma or LCD TV.

Philips 32PFL9632D review

Reviews StrengthsIf you're planning on watching plenty of high-definition content or playing HD games then you should love this TV -- hi-def material looks unusually clear and clean here. It works reasonably well with standard-definition material too...

Pioneer PDP-428XD review

Reviews Indeed, they actually put a number on this in their press material, claiming 80 per cent better blacks. There, you will find all the inputs you need, including a trio of HDMI sockets, VGA and component video inputs that all serve high-definition...

Shure SE110 sound-isolating earphones review

Reviews This strong yet flexible material ensures the cable doesn't break away from the earpiece during its lifetime of being wrapped around an ear. The body of each 'phone is built from a strong, lightweight plastic while the audio cable running into each...

LG 47LB2RF review

Reviews Hi-def material looks great overall, but there was still some blurring around moving objects or during camera movement. It's worth noting that this wasn't an issue on hi-def material, only on Freeview from a set-top box.

Samsung LE40F71B review

Reviews The speakers are also hidden, and fire on to a strip of silver material. The strongest area for this television is high-definition material. With plenty of features such as a memory card reader, Picture in Picture and MP3 playback, the Korean giant...

Samsung LE40M87 review

Reviews The Samsung LE40M87, for example, can be bought online for around £800, which puts it almost in the bargain-basement range, despite being able to show 1080p material. You'll also find Samsung's movie mode, which aims to reduce the level of motion...

Toshiba Regza 37WLT68 review

Reviews The good news is that, as a slightly lower resolution screen, it's much cheaper than the latest 'Full HD' models -- under £900 online -- so you'll have some spare cash to spend on high-definition material to watch on it.

HDTV basics

Reviews While there may not be a lot of material out there, luckily it's easy to get hold of. That's true; all but the most expensive sets with 9-inch CRTs, LCoS engines, or the very highest-resolution DLP and LCD panels are incapable of resolving every...

Motorola Pebl review

Reviews It feels very comfortable in the hand because of these dimensions, its rounded edges and symmetrical appearance, and the material used to make its outer casing, which has a soft, almost rubbery feel. It sits on a rounded -- of course -- strip of...
