Awesome BenQ 1920x1080 Full HD Monitor!

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

...gorgeously with the Full HD display, so you are more than welcome to hook up your Blu ray player or PS3 to the monitor and watch movies with high quality definition. Although I do not play games myself, and only bought a PS3 for the Blu ray player, my friend always talks about how gaming on his E2400HD with his Xbox360 or PS3 is absolutely phenomenal. There are also many reviews out there that suggest the same option! I personally enjoy my E2400HD mostly for the widescreen and large display. I use my monitor mainly for work, browsing and movies. As I do a lot of my work from home, it is really important for me to have multiple programs or screens opened at once, and since the E2400HD has such a wide screen it?s perfect for keeping multiple programs opened at once! As I mentioned before, Full HD movies look absolutely spectacular on this monitor...

Review of BenQ E2400HD

HD pictures without monthly subsrciptions

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, intuitive epg, easy setup
Disadvantages: None

...regional channels (such as ITV and BBC). After storing the channels you can view the full epg listings or show a quick list of all available channels by pressing the ok button. This shortcut button also shows which channels are available in HD by means of a small red HD logo at the side of the channel name. The epg is very well laid out and makes Sky's epg look very outdated (as is to be expected after 10 years). The remote is by no means a design classic, but is fairly well built and does the job intended. Picture quality on both ITV HD and BBC HD is amazing considering you have no montly outlay after purchasing the box. It is also worth noting that ITV HD is not available on the Sky HD Platform, although some would argue it is not a proper channel as it doesn't have it's own epg listing and is only accessible by pressing the red...

Review of Humax Foxsat-HD

Freeview HD

Advantages: Good quality reception, plenty of channels avalible
Disadvantages: Expensive, limited HD channels so far

...with it is the limted HD reception, admitedly it does look a lot better than normal digital. But it may just be the area i am in but i only have 1 dedicated HD channel. The rest have to be found by using the red button on the normal show. And even then the only HD tv seems to be football or tennis, admitedly for me it is not a bad thing. Im sure the variety can only get better though. Maybe doesn`t justify the expensive but is a solid all round freeview box....

Review of Humax Foxsat-HD

Full HD goodness

Advantages: beautiful glossy tv, full 1080p, lots of inputs, easy to use.
Disadvantages: settings suck out of the box

...This is a fine HD tv. A beauty to behold in fact. Anyone thinking of buying a large HD tv will know its an expensive business and not one you should just jump into willy-nilly. Being sensible and prudent, I did alot of research before i spent my money. Every review I read had nothing but good things to say about this Samsung TV. I was semi-wary, as I had never had a Samsung product before and was loyal to Sony. However, the price was good. Anyone who knows about HD TV's knows there are a few important points to consider. Firstly, you have to think about whether you want Full HD (1080p) or are happy to setlle for something less? (720p) Standard tv's are 420p. These numbers refer to the number of pixels which run horizontally on the set. The more there are the crisper the image. So in the case of 1080p the number of pixels...

Review of Samsung LE-40R87BD

Get yourself FULL HD!

Advantages: Great picture! Great price.
Disadvantages: Erm!

...We have just bought this TV for the front room downstairs. All of our other TV's in the house are samsungbut after seeing this TV next to the Samsung we decided it was a better picture and it was cheaper! The Tv is very good quality. It is Full HD which means it can run things like a PS3 and a Sky Hd box in 1080p. Some TV's may say they are HD ready but that isnt the same quslity as Full HD. If you are planning on having a HD DVD player or something like that then you need a Full HD tv. If you are not fussed about HD then simply buy a TV that is Hd ready and you will save a bit of money or you can get a bigger one for the same price! If the HD thind confuses you just know that 1080p reffers to the resolution of the picture.This TV has a resolution of 1920x1080p. This is a very high resolution and means you will get a very very good...

Review of Toshiba 37XV503DB

HUMAX FOXSAT HD

Advantages: No contract and lots more channels the Freeview.
Disadvantages: None really but note, it will not receive 'pay for' Sky channels.

...This Freesat receiver requires no contract and has nothing to do with Sky whatsoever. However, those with an existing working Sky dish can simply plug in this box and away you go. Functionality is somewhat like Freeview but a dish is required instead of a conventional TV aerial. Has easy to use menu's and installation takes just a few minutes. The remote control has good weight and seems to be robust. Excellent for those wanting to drop Sky, receive BBC HD and ITV HD with more services to follow sometime soon . . All usual channels available including Five from the 18th November 2008. Works in non-Freesat mode also and supports DiSEqC 1.0/1.2/USALS so has good non-28.2E service capability with a motorised dish or a multi-LNB system. In Non-Freesat mode this receiver behaves like a FTA receiver. Freesat and non...

SKY HD

Advantages: Superb picture quality
Disadvantages: Initial price and set up

...the full installation. The viewing experience grows on you and as long as Sky keep adding channels I'd say its an expensive but worthwhile investment for the movie or sports fan. After almost a year of having sky HD its hard to invison life without it, with its perfect veiwing, and its alround exelence, i love it. when i watch other TV's i can see the diffrence and all the time prefer HD! It has to be the best thing made in 2007! Thanks for reading Dexter...

Review of SKY SKY HD BOX

Simple yet effective box with HD

Advantages: Smart, compact, picture quality
Disadvantages: Slow, volume issues

...the channels. It generally updates itself every couple of weeks (it will ask you first) and only takes around 2 minutes. It is also possible to do a manual tune of non-freesat channels, although there is no EPG for these channels and to be honest most of them aren't worth bothering with, but if you have the time they are there. I am running the box through the HD port of my Philips LCD TV and find the picture clear and quite sharp (a definite improvement over the Sky box picture). I'm not sure if it's the box that is making the difference or the fact its running through the HD port instead of the SCART socket that makes the difference. The colours appear natural and smooth with only a little jaggedness around objects. The sound is also clear and strong. The HD picture on the other hand is FANTASTIC, the difference is very noticable. Infact I...

Get your Kit Off With The Full Monty

Advantages: Funny story
Disadvantages: None

...When I was on holiday a couple of weeks ago for some reason I suddenly decided I want to buy The Full Monty on DVD when I got back. I am not sure where this came from, maybe it was from seeing so many near naked bodies by the pool? Anyway.... The Full Monty originally came out in 1997, and was a film I enjoyed watching as a youngster. I recently went into Asda and found this DVD for 4 pounds and so purchased straight away. The film is based in Sheffield, where there was once a thriving steel industry. Fast forward to the 90's though and that has all changed. The people who were once working in the steel companies are now unemployed spending their days down the job club or trying to find another way to make some money. The main character of the film is Gary (played by Robert Carlyle), he was once a worker in the steel factory...

Review of The Full Monty (DVD)

Can you buy a full HD projector on the cheap?

Advantages: Cheap and bright full HD machine
Disadvantages: Poor colour reproduction

...This is probably the first of the high end home cinema projectors that I have felt is capable and bright enough to use in a commercial setting. It combines an impressive specification with a price that is low enough to bring full HD projection into their home cinema or meeting room. With comparable machines often costing two or three times as much as this machine, where are the downsides to buying a full HD projector on the cheap? Specification/Connectivity This machine is a 3600 lumen projector with a texas instruments full HD DLP chip and a 5 segment colour wheel. There is connectivity for HDMI, DVI-D, 2x VGA, VGA out, component video, s-video and composite video. There are audio inputs for all the inputs allowing you to use the projector as the switching centre for your home cinema if required. It has RS232 and ethernet...
