V7 L17FM flat screen/TFT monitor

Advantages: Good value for money, easy to operate
Disadvantages: Tends to "wobble" a little

...I've recently brought this TFT monitor as my two-year-old CRT monitor gave up on me. I'm not into gaming at all so I was after a simple TFT monitor with a large screen without paying anything more than £150. I shopped around for no more than half an hour before I found Misco on the Internet and was instantly keen on this model and its price. The item was shipped out the next working day and the following day I received the monitor and was not disappointed. The monitor was packaged well and was very easy to install (using the power and analogue signal cables to link the PC to the monitor) and it was up and running. I flicked through the user manual afterwards and it only confirms what I did. It also has a few trouble shooting tips. Onto the monitor itself then, the first thing I noticed was how much brighter and clearer...

Review of V7 L17AB

Good quality TFT monitor at reasonable cost

Advantages: Lightweight, good viewing angle adjustment
Disadvantages: Speakers not best quality, but workable

...I decided to replace my 19" CRT monitor for home use. Using a 17" TFT at work, I found the resolution ont hat more than adequate. Research on prices on the web showed that this Digimate monitor was the most reasonable, with the right features. I was particularly attracted by the angle adjustment, and the built-in speakers. Ordering was extremly simple - I used a company called aria - and the cost was £123 inc VAT. I had the screen delivered to my work address, which was no problem for their on-line ordering system. The product arrived promptly and well packaged. Configuration onto my system was easy - very much a simple plug and play, as you would expect these days. The process was simple for all levels of user - from basic to expert. Setting the monitor up ont he desk - again very easy, with the angle adjustment...

Review of 17" Digimate L-1718 TFT Monitor

Dell Studio 17 Laptop.

Advantages: Great machine for small price.
Disadvantages: None

...This is the most affordable Laptop computer ever.. Dell Studio 17 the price is right about $380.00 Where in these days you can get a Note Book Computer with this kind of money? The Studio 17 is as attractive or desirable as an XPS laptop, but it is more appealing than an Inspiron. With that in mind, it achieves its objective: to be cheaper than an XPS without sacrificing too much in the way of looks. Yes indeed there are better replacement machines available, but the Studio 17 hold its own with most. With than in mind we are talking about /or $370.00- $380.00 price range. This machine is powerful, effective, good looking, light weight and easy to handle. The scree is wide and rezolution is fantastic. These days it's just doesn't pay to spend too much money on computers because tomorrow they will become absolite. So you spend...

Review of Dell Studio 17

Brilliant HD Laptop

Advantages: Thought has been put into every aspect of the laptop
Disadvantages: Bit low on usb ports

...Dell in my view are amazing with laptops, desktops, servers, the whole lot. This sleek Inspiron 17 is for me one of the best dell sells for value. If you buy from the dell website you can personalise it like add a bigger hard drive ect. Starting price at the dell website is £349 which includes VAT and shipping. The screen is superb, 17.3 inches and a wide screen like quite a few laptops. It has a 1600x900 resolution which HD giving spectacular quality. The base model comes with vista home basic and a nice 160 GB hard drive. The battery life is quite good around 6 hours I can get out of mine not watching a hd video. It has a built in 1.3MP webcam with microphone along with the base which is good quality. Includes 3 usb ports and also comes with ATI Mobility Radeon graphics. There are many cool and sleek colours you can choose from along...

DELL BUSINESS: The worst customer service & you have no rights

Advantages: Product is fine but dont bother buying from them direct due to poor customer service/ norights
Disadvantages: Product is fine but dont bother buying from them direct due to poor customer service/ no rights

...told we have no exchanges/cancellations/refunds/refunds whatsoever for business customers + I could not speak to a manager when I requested. They just did not want to know. I sent my email well before they shipped it so it was little effort for you.... I am miffed please be resonable etc.... I tried again by email and got the same response these are our T&C's.... This 7day/£20 return policy is displayed on the business site in the top right hand corner on the view all drop down screen but it is only for consumers only. There are hidden T&C's for business which basically according to DELL mean you have you have no rights and they did not want to know. I am sure it could be challenged but they seem to operate on the basis taht who can be bothered. That cost me £80 so if anyone reads this before purchase I hope it puts you off and it costs...

Review of Dell Inspiron 17

Superb 17 Inch Flat Screen

Advantages: Fantastic range of equipment
Disadvantages: None

...I recently upgraded my office computer display to a flat screen. The choice wasn't large but the quality of the products on offer was superb. I choice the Belinea 10 17 10 TFT flat screen, resolution 1280 x 1024 with built in speakers, because it looked professional and was the most cost effective I could find. I have been using the display for 1 week now and cannot fault it. Although it is not until you see a traditional monitor that you appreciate the desk space being saved. Indeed my desk looks less cluttered with just as much 'work in progress' as before. Tip – Read the instructions that come with the panel. It does not come with software, which must be downloaded from the web site but at least that ensures the most recent versions. As for setting the equipment up, I spent less than 10 minutes playing...

Angelcare Monitor

Advantages: Peace of mind.
Disadvantages: Remember to turn off when lifting baby out of cot

...I knew from the outset that i would be one of those paranoid mum's constantly worrying about my baby & wondering if he was still breathing through the night, so I invested in the Angelcare monitor with movement sensor mat. The set includes a 'baby unit', 'parent unit' & movement sensor mat. The mat is placed under baby's mattress (if like mine, the base of the cot is slatted, or you're using it in such a moses basket, then you will need to place the mat on a firm surface such as a piece of plywood under the mattress), & is so sensitive that it can detect even the lightest of breathing. The mat connects to the baby unit which then transmits to the parent unit. If no movement (yes, even light breathing counts as movement) is detected for 20 seconds, an alarm sounds on both the baby & parent units, enabling time to get to your baby...

17 Again: a star is born.

Advantages: funny, light hearted, hot
Disadvantages: bit teenagey, hollywood, screaming girls

...I believe in Zac Efron. I believe that behind the singing, the dancing, the basketball, the Disney brainwashing, the Hollywood smile, the flowing soft hair, the chiselled good looks, the piercing blue eyes you can swim in, the toned, muscular bo... Hmm... Seems I got a tad carried away there. Where was I? Ah yes, I believe that behind all that superficial (yet godlike) nonsense, there is a bloody good actor behind Mr. Efron?s perfect visage. I believe that one day we will all see the artist formerly known as Troy Bolton lifting one of those prestigious gold men in triumph of being able to break free from tween sensation to the star of our time. To say that in 17 Again, Zac is soaring, flying, there not being a star in heaven that he can?t reach would not only be the worst joke of all time, but also completely accurate. In High...

Review of 17 Again (DVD)

A Quality Monitor

Advantages: Many functions, clear sound, no interference, talk back
Disadvantages: Temp sensor maybe a bit sensitive

...We recently borrowed this monitor from a friend - it's on our wish list but we can't really afford to buy one, so we are trialling this one at the moment. Due to us borrowing it, we were never given an instruction manual, but have still managed to figure out most of the functions with success! And compared to our Tomy Walkabout, this is a fantastic monitor, even if it is a little pricey (£69.99 I think) The Baby Unit: This unit has 9 buttons across the top: -On/Off Switch -Rec button (which I think is to record your voice but we haven't used this function) -Page (to page the parent unit I presume if you've lost it somewhere) -A button with three circles on - I think this is to increase or decrease the brightness of the nightlight -Nightlight -Volume up -Volume down -Play/Stop (the lullabies) -Music (to select...

Review of BT 150 Digital Baby Monitor

Boots 17 Liquid Eyeliner

Advantages: Quite cheap; didn't irritate skin or eyes; looks okay
Disadvantages: Pale colour, thin texture, poor staying power

...I don't feel fully made-up without wearing liquid eyeliner, which gives a definite, precise line on the upper eyelid to enhance the lashes and define the eye. Not all cosmetic brands produce liquid eyeliner; for instance, I don't think Maybelline or Boots Natural Collection offer one in their ranges. I experiment with different brands of make-up occasionally to make sure I'm not missing out on bargain prices or better quality items. If I recall correctly, I bought the 17 Liquid Eyeliner as part of a money-saving offer (3 for 2 on 17 cosmetics). It is usually priced at £3.91 for a tube. One tube of liquid eyeliner tends to last me a few months, so that is a reasonable price. Boots describe it as "a creamy and smudge proof eye liner perfect for creating a defined and dramatic look". I bought it in Black, my usual shade. The liquid...
