Panasonic PanaFlat LC50SG

Advantages: Works in relatively bright conditions, quiet
Disadvantages: unreliable, very big, short bulb life

...replaced the bulb, which cost £250 but that hasn't fixed the problem. Panasonic have not replied to my requests for help. Bulb-life is just 2000 hours when used in normal mode. I'm going to give up and go back to a proper telly. Projectors, like this one have advantages over other types of display, in that they can project a huge screen size, which gives a real cinema feel, even when just watching TV and yet disappear when turned off, unlike large flat-panel screens which can dominate a room. I use a 72" roll-up screen, but an even bigger screen could be achieved just by projecting onto a large white wall. Unfortunately attention should be paid to the bulb life, because the replacements are very expensive. During bright daylight, in some rooms, you may also find dark scenes in films difficult to watch, unless you have thick curtains. I cannot... Read review

Advantages: High quality, fast, easy to use,long-lasting cartridges
Disadvantages: Very occasional paper jams

...to buy a black and white printer, keep it for a few years and then replace it with a colour one when our eldest daughter got to the stage of needing one for her schoolwork. I decided to leave my husband to it, and so off he went to PC World. An hour later. he came back with a Panasonic KX-P7100 under his arm. Well not exactly under his arm as the box was too big for that. But you know what I mean ! It cost £ 170, and he had also bought a USB cable for £ 13.99 as there wasn't one with the printer. I don't know if it is normal for a printer to come without one, or whether you always have to buy one. INSTALLATION ******************* Whenever we buy anything remotely connected to a computer, whether it is a printer, Broadband, monitor or the computer itself, hubby and I always install whatever is necessary together.

Advantages: laser and duplex and compact
Disadvantages: only black and white and over time develops some problems.

...The KX-P7100 made by Panasonic is a brilliant printer because it prints 14 ppm (pages per minute) due to its laser technology and has a built in duplex system for well duplexed pages,saving money and time using only half the usual paper.But now after time the paper has began to jam,crease and fold with added lines from the toner.this may be due to the settings or it could just be general ‘wear and tear’. For example a new toner would cost in the region of £50 and this may not even fix the problem.and if left in a cold room the paper may jam up and waste paper so it neds to be kept in a warm but not humid room(due to damness).So I think that this product would suit a office or school but not a home in a cool country or small home....
