Awesome BenQ 1920x1080 Full HD Monitor!

Advantages: 2ms, HDMI, Full HD 1080p
Disadvantages: The exterior of the monitor is a bit glossy.

...I bought the E2400HD 8 months ago and have loved it since the day I received it. I ordered it online and it came in three days later. It came in a standard brown BenQ box with the monitor, the stand, D-Sub, power cable, and an installation CD/manual. I bought it through a friend?s advice as he had bought the E2400HD when it first hit the shelves, and he has been telling me about how awesome it is ever since! It is hard not to agree with him, because the monitor just performs at a superb level and quality for the price range that it is competing in! The E2400HD would be what I?d like to call a multi-media/functional desktop/laptop peripheral display. It comes with HDMI and DVI support, and is loaded with 1080p (16:9 display or also known as 1920x1080), which gives the monitor a very beautiful bright and crisp display. Blu ray works...

Review of BenQ E2400HD

UMC X216/17A - 1080p in 21.6 inches!

Advantages: Crisp image, Pretty good audio, Lots of inputs, Great freeview.
Disadvantages: Occasional problem changing resolutions, Slight backlight bleed.

...I bought this UMC television for £170 and I'm very happy with it. It's sleek black finish and hidden cables puts it in pride of place on my desk. Picture Quality: I'd done a bit of research beforehand and found that 1080p is usually found on 24 inch and upwards televisions. This means that there is a very high number of pixels per inch in this television and consequentially, pictures look very crisp. It's not really a high-end television so for example there is a little bit of 'backlight bleed' when the screen is completely black, but you don't really notice it. Whites look especially nice on this television. I am doubling it up as a computer monitor and it's very pleasing to the eyes when word processing and the like. Sound Quality: I play music on this television every day via my computer system and it's actually pretty good. It has...

X-530

Advantages: Price/quality, look
Disadvantages: sensitive to interference

..., Most people aim at good quality sound in PC's. Often good sound card is not enough and better speakers must be bought. That means spending more money for good stuff, or less for cheaper brand. Not necessarily when considering Logitech X-530 5.1 speakers. First some esential tech data: Total pow RMS : 70 Watts Total peak pow: 140 watts Cable lenght: center:160cm front: 140cm/180cm rear: 450cm Installation is as simple as possible and described weel in manual. Very attractive design gives it professional look. Whole set is assembled with high quality components both inside and outside. Unfortunately there are too many cables and subwoofer looks like attatched to big spiderweb, however are quite thick and strong. Center, front, and subwoofer speakers cables are quite short; even for desktop use lenght is...

Logitech X-230

Advantages: clear sound, very low noise
Disadvantages: remote control would be nice

...An easy, plug'n'play sound system in cute-looking body with great performance. I was looking for new speakers for my laptop but then I decided I wanted more than just speakers and started searching through the lists of 2.1 and 5.1 sound systems. Originally I was about to buy a 5.1, but I realized such a set wouldn't be smart for a laptop which I wanna carry around and have it now on my desk, then on my bed, then on the floor etc, for which a 5.1 felt too much of cables and mass. I'm happy about my decision since the Logitech X-230 has proven to live up to the expectations based on what they promise, the sound is clear, full and I find it great for both music, games or movies. The subwoofer bass is strong and full, perfectly satisfying for almost cinema movie experience. You can hear hardly any noise and the volume range is wide enough...

1080 Snowboarding

Advantages: great tricks
Disadvantages: too similar to wave race

...The Wave Race 64 team is at it again, and this time its on the snow slopes. Miyamoto took the genious design team possibly made the best N64 racer, and exchanged the Kawasaki Jet-Ski’s for Lamar Snow boards. No, literally, that’s what they did. 1080 Snowboarding can be best described as Wave Race 64… in the snow. 1080 retains the same options and game play modes that were featured in Wave Race 6. Miyamoto and the design team did obtain new licenses for this wintry racing game. As mentioned, Nintendo signed on Lamar to provide models of their Snow boards for use in the game (my favorite being the Tahoe 155). Not only did they manage to obtain usage of the snowboards, but they acquired rights for Tommy Hilfiger clothing! Each racer has their own Tommy Gear outfits that will brighten up the TV set during your races...

Review of 1080 Snowboarding (N64)

American History X

Advantages: Edward Norton; Dialogue; Tension; Story
Disadvantages: Propaganda

..."We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help the struggling black man, you know. Cut him some slack until he can overcome these historical injustices. It's crap. I mean, Christ, Lincoln freed the slaves, like, what? 130 years ago. How long does it take to get your act together?" --Derek Vinyard Edward Norton is one of those rare contemporary actors that you know whatever movie he's going to be in it's going to be good. American History X is by no means an exception, with Norton phenomenal in his performance as an ex-neo-Nazi attempting to prevent his brother from pursuing the path he did. Edward Furlong (Terminator 2) plays the young skinhead Danny Vinyard, criticised by his teacher (Avery Brooks) for turning in a paper on Mein Kampf. The black teacher then instructs Danny to create a report...

X-540

Advantages: Great price,great sound quality, matrix button gives great 5.1
Disadvantages: Lots of wires!, Remote on quite a short wire

...Logitech X-540 Surround Sound. I ordered ths off amazon for 49.99, it was sent by courier (Home Delivery Network Ltd) and arrived within 2 days of ordering. Very easy to set up and great price for full 5.1 surround sound. Took 10 mins to hook it up to my Xbox and is amazing while playing Gears of war :D... First thing you notice is the weight contained in the small box the Speakers come in,its about 1ft square and contains 1 Bass and 5 satellite speakers, each individually packed in plastic bags. The bass unit is quite bulky and for optimal quality should be placed on the floor, but if you dont have much room, (like me) then you can put it it behind your TV or something... The base is the main part of the speaker set up, on the back are about 8 jacks for you to plug in the seperate speakers and inputs. Each is colour coded so its...

American History X

Advantages: Great plot, superb characters and a theme that needed to be discussed
Disadvantages: violent

...Well my next review again is another film that was made during the 90's. Gosh they really don't make films like they use to. I must admit ive only seen this film twice once in high school and once with my friends, and both times the film just gives you a sense of shock. The film im going to review is the 1998, critically acclaimed "American History X", directed by Tony Kaye and Edward Norton and Edward Furlong. Ok two quick recaps here, Edward Furlong is the guy who was John Connor in Terminator 2, however just a wee bit more older in this film, but he still looks the same. We then have Edward Norton; you might recognise him from his earlier work in Primal Fear and The People vs. Larry Flynt I must admit this review will talk about some cruel and in some cases sadistic scenes, and for that I apologise if it causes any offence...

X-Citing

Advantages: Great Acting, Fit men, Loads Of Action, Special Effects
Disadvantages: Got to wait for the next one

...So far I have really enjoyed the X Men films and so I couldn't wait to watch the latest offering from the X Men stable. I trotted off to my local cinema as soon as I had the opportunity and here is my review I have tried really hard not to give too much away so as not to spoil the film for anybody who hasn't yet seen it. X Men For those of you who are not familiar with the X men movies, Origins: Wolverine is the 4th movie in the series. X Men was originally a comic book by Marvel that has ben adapted into cartoon and movie format. The X Men are basically humans who have mutated. Not all the mutations are obvious some mutations are not visable. Unlike the first three movies X Men Origins: Wolverine, goes back into one of the character's pasts, in this case Wolverine, so we can see how he came to be and what shapes him. Wolverine...

The joy of X?

Advantages: Great feel-good dance pop
Disadvantages: too short

...After putting her career on hold to battle breast cancer Kylie has certainly made up for lost time as she continues her quest for world domination. There was the re-scheduled tour, a children's book 2 perfumes and another one set for next year, not to mention modelling swimwear for H&M and the Kylie exhibition (now in Glasgow) and a return to acting in Doctor Who. After celebrating 20 years in music her 10th studio album is probably her most hotly anticipated and comes four years after "Body Language" Most Kylie fans will already have heard the "kylie X Pre album" which was put on torrent sites months ago (and is still widely available) from apparently stolen master tapes and the biggest shock are the tracks which are missing particularly the Scissor Sisters "White Diamond" (only available as a slow ballad if you get the album...
