Advantages: Good Picture quality, nice size and price! Disadvantages: The Sound is RUBBISH!
...I have had this Television for a while now, and I honestly can't remember how much I paid for it, however I would hazard a guess at around the £250 mark. I bought it to replace another Toshiba televion I had which was square and since I got Sky and DVD's etc. I wanted the widescreen.
This television lasted a week in the living room, before the square one was put back in, and the 28W27B was plopped into the bedroom. The picture quality on this TV is better than the old one without a doubt, however the sound is absolutley rubbish. There is absolutley no bass from it (which I like, as I tend to watch MTV Dance an awful lot) and when you turn the bass up in the menu, it goes totally distored and really you just dont want to listen to it. I don't know if this is a general problem with this "Virtual Dolby" thing, but give me the hassel...

Advantages: Good Quality Surround system Disadvantages: Large unit, had to unpack & remove door to get in!
...to cosmetic damage.
This cost £900 and so was not cheap, but overall we are very pleased with our purchase and especially the after sales service from Toshiba.
I would recommend Toshiba to anyone, but obviously the price of a 32" widescreen TV now (1 year down the line) should be a lot more competative than the £900 we paid ( I have seen the same model on E-bay £499 brand new).
This TV is identical to the Toshiba 32Z27B, the only difference is the 2 remote speakers are supplied as part of a unique deal with Curry's.

Mamiya RB67
When I decided to buy a medium format camera, I looked at an RB67, and easily dismissed it. You need hands the size of a gorilla, and it really ought to be sold with a Benbo tripod welded to the bottom.

You cant really argue when someone offers you a camera for free can you? But when it has more megapixels and more optical zoom than the slightly older model you already have and does not perform as well, you do have to ask youself, is it all worth... more
Being my birthday the other day, my fiancée compensated me by buying me a Panasonic DG67, weighing in at a mid-range £99.99. I was so impressed with her choice that I decided to write a review on this featured-packed phone which, I think, represents... more
