Mitsubishi Diamond Pro (2070 SB)

Advantages: Excellent display, Highly reliable
Disadvantages: It goes back a fair way and it's no Flat-bed!

...Suitable for both home and professional users alike, the Diamond Pro 2070 has a whopping 22" frontage with 20" of viewable screen. The maximum resolution is 2048 x 1536 which, in todays market, is decent enough by anybodys standards. At over 60lbs (just under 30kgs) it is quite heavy, but as most suppliers will deliver the beauty this shouldn't cause any problems. There are ample controls on the front set of the monitor, they include brightness, contrast, horizontal and vertical sizing and position, colour temperature and other standard features. The dynamics of the monitor, and the immense resolution are evidence of how far monitors have developed in recent years, the high calibre glare reduction enforces it's worth in the market even further. The resolution pre-sets are as follows: - 2048 x 1536 / 86 Hz 1920 x 1440 / 92 Hz...

What a Diamond geezer!

Advantages: Willing to match quotes and very approachable
Disadvantages: None

...In true Emma style I had left my car insurance renewal to the very very last minute. In fact, I think it expires at midnight tonight! Nothing like living on the edge eh. I had received my renewals notice from Diamond, my current insurer, weeks ago but it's been sitting in a drawer at home. Needless to say it's still sitting in a drawer at home which was quite unhelpful when I went to call them and give them my policy number and details. So, after a phone call home to my boyfriend, who's currently playing at house-husbandry whilst he has a couple of days off, I had all the details to hand and I gave them a call ? "Welcome to Diamond, my name's Andrew, how can I help you today?" Excellent, a guy answered my call and my blag was about to begin. "Oh hi Andrew" said in my most sweetest, sickly, girly-girl telephone voice. "I...

Review of Diamond

Are Diamonds for ever?

Advantages: Cheap, you can choose not to pay for some services, they will actully insure my car.
Disadvantages: You can't use them if you're a bloke.

...Hmmm... I dunno. There's clearly a pattern in these reviews which goes, "great until you make a claim" but then find me an insurance comapany to which that doesn't apply? I found Diamond via the confused.com website. I have quite a low opinion of the insurance industry which is probably not merited but for the most part I believe you are paying to comply with the law and not much else. At this point I should say that Diamond only provide insurance for women drivers (sorry boys). The rationale for this is that statistically women drivers have less accidents than men and so if they aim at just women there'll be less claims and they can keep their premiums low. WHY DID I CHOOSE DIAMOND? Firstly, because they were cheap. Secondly, well because even the best insurers don't offer a great service. I used to be insured...

Diamond's Really Do Cost Blood - Blood Diamond

Advantages: Gripping, Superb acting, makes you think about life differently, eye opening
Disadvantages: It is a very disturbing film and might be too disturbing for some

...Personal Opinion I watched Blood Diamond last night and it was an absolutely amazing film that was completely absorbing and gripping. It is a 2006 action/adventure drama film co-produced and directed by Edward Zwick, director of Glory and The Last Samurai. It stars Leonado DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou. The film was put forward for five Academy Awards of which included Best Actor (DiCaprio) and Best Supporting Actor (Hounsou) I admire Leonardo DiCaprio for his acting abilities he is a first class actor who is able to get deep into the character. As a character actress myself I know it is not easy to dig deep into a character that is so emotionally challenging as DiCaprio played. It would have made him feel a wide range of emotions and he probably had to dig deep to places that brought back that same emotion that...

Diamonds are a girls best friend!

Advantages: Gorgeous smell
Disadvantages: Nothing

...Reading a magazine one day, I came across an interview with Beyonce, where she claimed her favourite perfume was the ?Armani Diamonds?. I?ve always being a fan of Armani; I have a few pairs of their glasses and perfumes so when I read that the Armani Diamonds was one of my celebrities favourite perfume, I was quite anxious to know what the ?Armani Diamonds? smelt like because if Beyonce likes it then it must be something pretty special. I visited my local Boots store and sprayed the perfume onto my wrist, and my first impression wasn?t too good all I could smell was alcohol, I didn?t smell my wrist again I just left it not thinking anymore of it. Later, that week I went to visit my cousin and told her I was disappointed in the smell of the Armani Diamonds, I told her it stunk of alcohol and she explained I had to wait a few minutes...

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Advantages: Smells gorgeous, I got a free gift with mine.
Disadvantages: Runs out too quickly because I use it all the time.

..."Diamonds are a girl's best friend" and never was there a more true statement! I received for Christmas last year some vouchers for Boots, and had originally planned to treat myself to a new hairdryer with them, that is until one of my work colleagues came in smelling lovely of a new perfume her boyfriend had treated her to for her 21st birthday. I had a little squirt and loved it there and then. So off I went to Boots to treat myself to some courtesy of my kind friend (the one who gave me the vouchers) Emporio Armani Diamonds is a beautiful fragrance endorsed on the tv ads by the gorgeous Beyonce. It is a fresh, floral, sexy scent with a fruity aroma too. It comes in 3 sizes of bottle 30ml for £28, 50ml for £38, and 100ml for £52.(prices are from Boots but shop around you may get it cheaper) Mines is the 50ml bottle which I...

Diamond 56e Pro External Modem

Advantages: High Build Quality, Fast, Good Drivers
Disadvantages: Serial Interface, Needs 240VAC power

...from server to client) will increase and make the game jerky, plus if the game only just runs, then the extra 5-10% toll on your CPU may rob you of precious frames making the gameplay horrible. I experienced this many years ago with Half life on a low spec computer with an internal PCI winmodem. And since I wanted to play a lot of games online at the time, I decided that I should not skimp on the modem. I bought a Diamond SupraExpress 56e for about £80 (it will be a lot cheaper now). This was a fair bit, but definately worth it and I'll explain why: The installation of the modem was simple. I plugged in the phone, data and power jacks and powered up. It was detected and installed automatically. I connected to the internet and began browsing sites, and quickly found software I wished to download. I was originally disappointed by...

Review of Blood Diamond (DVD)

Diamond, the best Pokemon game yet?

Advantages: Hours of playability
Disadvantages: A lot of the the storylines have been done before

...stream of zubats and magikarps at times which is quite boring! There are only 150 pokemon which you will see up until you have defeated the Elite Four. Once you have seen all of these and defeated the Elite Four, over 400 different pokemon will become available! Previously, I have played other Pokemon games. The ones I've played are Red, Blue and Silver. Although there is a lot more depth to Diamond, I actually prefer the earlier games in some ways, in terms of the storylines and the range of pokemon you are able to capture from the start. You are able to build a better 'squad' right from the beginning whereas in this game it seems to take time. A lot of the storylines seem reused in this game, although you can't really change the format of the game a lot as it wouldn't really be Pokemon then. There is a lot of new stuff in the Diamond...
