Iiyama - a name to trust

Advantages: Quality, design
Disadvantages: Price

...Thanks in advance for reading this and I hope it helps you in making a purchasing decision. Over a decade ago I was a poor student shopping for my first ever PC. I knew what I wanted - a 486 processor running at 25MHz, 8Mb RAM, 200Mb harddrive and most importantly an Iiyama 14" monitor. Sadly the wages department of the hotel restaurant I worked through that long and tedious summer dictated a few small changes. The PC eventually became a 386 processor running at 40MHz, 4Mb RAM, 120Mb harddrive and no Iiyama monitor. Instead of the Iiyama I had some rebadged monitor with a huge curve and a low refresh rate. The Iiyama was the first thing to drop off the list as it saved the most money. My point? Even then Iiyama was synonymous with quality and of design and product. The Cathode Ray montiors they produced then had an appropriately...

Review of Iiyama Pro Lite E380S

IIyama vision master pro 1413 17"

Advantages: Price, quality, reliability
Disadvantages: Not for advanced and demanding users

...1 IIyama is definitely one of most recognized and respected both CRT and LCD manufacturer,( for Windows and Macintosh) and that places it above other producers on market because of it's expirience, and japanese origin. Sometimes people say that company that is focused on one specific item makes better stuff and if it comes about IIyama i can fully agree. External look IIyama vision master pro 1413 17" is simple monitor without addons like speakers or tv tuner and is available in cream (white) color ( some other models comes in black or silver ). Unusual design creates a picture of massive and solid construction and reminds me an oval cut in half. Monitor is put together very well, all joints fits perfectly. Even being a low budget product still looks as new; plastics used to assebble are rather good quality and have...

DS Lite!

Advantages: Fun, easy to use, great features, great games!
Disadvantages: Once you pick it up its hard to put down

...I own 2 DS Lites, my son has one and my partner does, they come in a great range of colours Black,White,Pink and the newer Blue. The touch screen on them is great, it makes the games so much more fun and with games like super mario you get mini games that all use the touch screen and they are great fun. As for the size of it well i carnt complain its small quite slim and light! hence the name. As for the age recomended on these my son has had one since last christmas and at the time he was 3! and after about a day learnt how to use it better than me lol. some games can be akward for smaller children but the likes of super mario, mario kart, shrek,cars ect are great for them. Its also very durable my son has dropped his on tiled floor, sat on it and god knows what else and its fine, its also very easy to keep clean. From...

Iiyama Vision Master Pro 513

Advantages: Huge picture
Disadvantages: Huge footprint

...behind it. Then I was able to slide it back further and it became a bit more viable. So, to sum up: this is a great monitor but it goes back quite a way. If you have the room then the Iiyama Vision Master Pro 513 could be a good choice. If space is a priority then LCDs are improving all the time....

Nintendo DS Lite

Advantages: Stylus system Touch Screen Gameboy Advance Compatibility Small game cartridges wireless play
Disadvantages: graphics games are limited

...I had one of these for about a year until I sold it off for an Xbox 360 (good decision). I found the DS Lite has very good wireless play for friends in the area with one of them. The chat rooms are also quite useful if you are on a trip with several friends. As I found out, on a ski trip, I spent about 3 hours on the DS racing about 10 other people in Mario Kart; its a brilliant way to pass a journey. However, equally, it is also fun offline. Although the games don't have as good graphics as the likes of the Xbox 360 or PS3. They are still not bad and they do have the one of a kind revolutionary stlylus-touch screen system. This allows you to draw out the actions on the touch screen of the DS in certain games. More credit is put to the DS lite since it is compatible with the older gameboy advance games (quite a few consoles don't allow...

Nintendo DS Lite : 'Flipping Brilliant'

Advantages: Wide range of games, cheaper than consoles, portable and light weight.
Disadvantages: Cannot play films, store or play music on the DS unlike the Sony PSP console

...The Nintendo DS Lite is a portable gaming system with two screens that have been vertically alligned, one at the top and one at the bottom. On the bottom is a touch screen that allows you to use a stylus pen for selecting options to playing games. There's also the standard direction buttons, located to the left of the bottom screen, and standard X, Y, A, B buttons along with Start and Select Buttons- all of which are located to the right of the bottom screen,. The Nintendo DS games come on a cartridge format and cost anything between £10-£25. The main advantage of the Nintendo DS Games over the Sony PSP games is the loading times are much quicker this is mainly because the cartridges are smaller in capacity to the UMD Discs. The Nintendo DS has been made much smaller than the original DS, the dimensions of the new console are 0...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

Nintendo DS lite

Advantages: so easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...This was bought for my son for a birthday present last year, I paid £109 for the DS, accessory kit and the game that came with it was Cars. I was not sure if he would be impressed with it or not (as he can be hard to please sometimes, like most kids these days) but as it turned out he was over the moon and I must add so was I , as I to, enjoy playing it. Another good point is that you can play the game boy advance games on it as well, my daughter has a GBA and they sure some their games which is really handy. The nintendo ds lite is really small and easy to use, you can either use the keys at the side or you can use the stylus, either way is good, Also if you have two DS lites in the one household you can send messages from one to the other, this is also really easy to do, in the main screen menu, you will see a symbol...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

NINTENDO DS LITE

Advantages: I can communicate with friends when im on holiday
Disadvantages: nothing

...At first when I purchased the Nintendo ds lite I must admit I think I'd made a big mistake, there wasn't a lot of games available and I knew I'd get bored of it, Recently there's being a few games out and there's an internet browser which I love as you can email friends when your on holiday if the room has a wifi connection, I also love the fact the there's lots of flash cartridges available which are rewritable and I can upload msn onto the flash card and use it like I would use it on the computer. The Nintendo DS Lite, is a sleeker, Nintendo DS. The device employs innovative dual-screen and microphone-enabled gameplay as well as Wi-Fi multiplayer capabilities, allowing for a growing list of original and fun games that you can't play on any other system. It is thinner and more attractive than the earlier DS, but it still delivers...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

Nintendo Ds Lite

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...The Nintendo DS 'Lite' is a great portable console that comes in a range of colours for anyone who likes games made by Nintendo and other game makers who are associate with them. It has two screen's one touch and the other veiw only, this allows games to be more interactive and fun! The amazing thing about the Nintendo DS 'Lite' is that its lighter that the orginal (funny enough lol) this makes it more compact and easier to carry about. Games for the DS and also Gameboy advance games can be played on this console. Gameboy advanced games are inserted through the bottom slot on the Nintendo DS. However they do not have touch screen interactivity. Nintendo DS allows users to use a touch screen which is different to any other console on the market, this makes games more fun and interactive in some cases and is a very appealing...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

Nintendo DS Lite

Advantages: Great gaming, light and easy to use
Disadvantages: Battery life isnt great

...Product - Nintendo DS Lite Price - Got mine for £99 4/5 Battery quality - I find I can play for half a day without any problems 3/5 Design - Small and light 4/5 Durability - I haven't broke it yet 4/5 The Nintendo DS is the updated version of the classic GameBoy by Nintendo. While the GameBoy was huge, the DS does not seem to have the same fame due to the huge popularity of the Wii. However, for a pocket games console, I would say this is the best one on the market at the moment. The shape of the console is small enough to put in a handbag, pouch or a large pocket but big enough you wont lose it. The top screen (within the lid) is a simple viewing screen, while the bottom screen is a touch sensitive pad allowing you to interact with the attached wand (which easily stores within the side of the console). This screen gives...
