August DA104CD

Advantages: Small, compact, 70 hours playing time and records 170 songs
Disadvantages: There aren't any!

...This compact and stylish MP3 player is great. We bought this for our 9 year old daughter last August for her birthday. She loves it. It is small enough to go in her pocket and is, of course, pink. (However it comes in silver and blue). I was a bit sceptical of how long the batteries would last but true to its word they lasted for ages. We travel 5 hours in the car quite regularly and she has it on for most of the journey. It is great not to have to stop and get out another CD or stop for more batteries. It has stopped the never ending CD mountain she used to take with her. They are all downloaded into this little miracle and she still has room for more. The quality of the sound is good too. However the sound coming for her has alot to be desired!!!! But you can't have everything. It is easy to use and easy to download... Read review

Advantages: picture quality, look of tv
Disadvantages: sound

...When i purchased this tv last August it ticked all the boxes and thats what this review is based on. I found the tv easy to set up, and was impressed with tjhe ease of the on screen menus. Once operating, i find the picture quality excellent with the colours crisp and true. I suppose if there was one weakness it would be the sound, but this was really only noticed when trying to play music through the tv. As for an intigrated free view tuner... brilliant. In this world of anti clutter, not having to have an extra box and cables lying around is great. So.. whats bad. Difficult to say really. I suppose now looking back i wonder how much the 100Hz technology has benifitted me, but then its difficult to say without a 50Hz screen next to it for comparison. All in all, i'd recommend this to anyone who wanted excellent picture quiality... Read review

Advantages: Wide Screen
Disadvantages: getting the sound right

...We bought this tv after our last one went 'pop' and never came back on. My husband had wanted new one since we were married last August so he finally got his wish. We set a budget of £300, but once I was in the store I have a tendancy to buy on impulse. I was immediately drawn to this tv, and I can't really say why except it was the nicest looking one for under £400. The sound quality is amazing, with a variety of options that can be linked to a stereo system. The colour and quality of the screen is fantastic, and the flat screen is my personal favourite. I love the fact that I can now see all my programs in widescreen, a capacity the old tv did not have and thus the picture was usually missing a large percentage. The price was great, and we couldn't wait to get it home. The stand takes a bit of working out to assemble... Read review
