Samsung PS50B451

Advantages: Brillaint TV
Disadvantages: Hard to get used to

...One of the TVs in my house has just been replaced, we was lucky enough to get a deal on the Samsung PS50b451 instead of it costing around the £700 asking price a friend of ours used her staff discount and along with some vouchers, the TV cost us around £350 which is brilliant for what it is. bit of a bargain actually. I thought I would review it to see if it is actually worth the £700 asking price to those who aren?t as lucky as us to have a friend who works in a shop that sells them. Why choose this one? The reason that we choose this particular TV is that we wanted one in the 50 inch size range to replace the old one, and when we had a look at the range available we found that this one was not only the cheapest for what it is, but also we found that this one was the better looking of the three we narrowed our choice down to...

Awesome Orion 32" LCD

Advantages: Sharpness, Quality Picture
Disadvantages: None

...Product: 32? LCD television Make: Orion Features: HD Ready Price: Varied Introducing of Orion I?ve had the Orion 32? LCD Television for quite some years now, and I must admit, it is some monster of a T.V. I love sitting in my comfy chair, a beer in one hand and watching Manchester United play on the big screen. In my house it feels like being in a pub, I?ve got the bar and the 32? LCD, so I can get a drink whenever I feel, and I have a free front row seat in front of the big screen. In some ways, my house is better then the local boozer, even though I love going to the pub, because you can meet up with friends, be sociable, and the atmosphere is good. There?s just sometimes, where I have decided to stay in and watch the football, I find it better to invite your mates around and sit in front of your own big 32? T...

Review of Orion TV32082

Almost star quality from Orion

Advantages: Reasonably priced from a reputable manufacturer
Disadvantages: LCD picture quality can be poor when viewing from certain angles

...we don't watch a huge amount of television in the bedroom, I didn't lean towards any particular manufacturer as I might have done if I were buying a new main television set for the living room. I was also just looking for a portable TV in the region of a 19 or 20 inch screen. Having checked the local retailers, and compared prices online, the best I could find for our circumstances was a digital LCD made by Orion. To give it it's full name: an Orion TV 19PL110D. If you've ever bought an LCD or plasma television from Toshiba or Sharp, the chances are it was manufactured by Orion as it happens to be one of the world's largest OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) of televisions We chose this model because out of all the televisions in this size, this particular model had the best overall technical specifications. For instance...

Review of Orion TV-19 PL 110 D

The Canon EOS 50D superb image quality.

Advantages: Superb image quality, well built, High resolution, low noise, Excellent spec.
Disadvantages: Only minor gripes, no CF card included, large and heavy compared to some.

...The Canon EOS 50D This review is based on my own reviews of this camera elsewhere (Amazon) and has been edited for the pupose of posting on here, I hope you will find it useful. I bought this camera almost as soon as it was released, so I have had plenty of time to get used to it, and test it fully before writing this review. Overview The first thing you notice is that this is not a small lightweight camera, but is a solid well built camera designed for serious use, yet despite it's size and weight it is still easy to hold and is comfortable to use, for those of you that have used the EOS 40D it has the same body shell as that, and has the advantage of using the same accessories as the EOS 40D as well. The menu's are well laid out and easy to use making this camera easy to set up and use, the large...

Review of Canon EOS 50D

Ford orion

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: none

...When I was younger I always wanted to own a Ford Orion ( I know I was young and wisdom comes with age). When I passed my driving test I knew what would be my first car, with £3000 to spend off I went, and came back with a D reg Ford Orion 1.6i turbo, I loved it . Over the next year or so I added a body kit, alloy wheels and various other extras, this car was the dogs bollocks and I would cruise around town getting looks from everybody. Now I am a lot older I look back at that car with some embarassment but also regret that I ever sold it. I have had many cars since then but none hold my affection like my Ford Orion ( your first car always will)....

Review of Ford Orion 1.6

The Ford Orion - No Longer With Us, Thank God!

Advantages: Comfortable, Spacious, Cheap spares
Disadvantages: Dodgy high-speed handling, Poor starting, Corrosion in vital areas

...I bought a ten-year old Orion Ghia 1.6 in 1996, after many years of hatchback ownership. Obviously, it was a second car as I could not risk having a Ford as my one and only vehicle. The car felt good, solid and comfortable so I bought the Orion (60,000 on the clock) for £750. The problems I inherited with the car were a non-functioning electric window switch (cured with a dose of WD40) and some ancient and rock-hard front tyres, which scared the life out of me the first time I stood on the brakes.The front wheels locked solid sending the car screeching down the road in a cloud of smoke. It was either get some new tyres or look around for a decent life insurance policy - the tyres won the day. The car turned out to be reliable, except in the area of early morning and, occasionally, hot starting. I did develop various start...

Mapex Orion Classic Drumkit

Advantages: Superb Quality & Build
Disadvantages: Quite expensive and not for beginners!

...Orion Classic was sat right at the back gleaming under the spotlights. The kit included: 22 x 18 Bass Drum (with retractable spurs) 16 x 13 Rack Tom 14 x 11 Rack Tom 12 x 9 Rack Tom 10 x 8 Rack Tom 14 x 5.5 Black Panther Snare All made from all Maple shells with outer Birdseye veneer (Antique Ivory) I managed to get the set for £1,400 as at the time they were retailing at £2,000 so it was well worth the purchase! The kit jumped right out and just looked the business. It has a lot of quality extras compared to the average kit. Mapex have put a lot of thought into the designing of this kit, for example the lugs on the bass drum are all protected by outer metal protection so that they will not get damaged/bent if the kit was to get bumped when taking in and out of a car. The mounts both for the cymbals and the toms come...

Review of Mapex Orion Classic Drumkit

IMAGINE having 50 first dates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: great acting
Disadvantages: a bit questioning

...Yet again Woolworths comes involve for yet another review. They had put 2 DVDs really cheap, unfortunately I was not there to get them, but my mom was so I had no option but to watch these 2 films. These 2 films were 50 First Dates and Maid in Manhattan. They were both only £5 each so it was definitely worth it, according to both my mom and Woolworths. This film follows a girl called Lucy, who had a very fatal car accident, and she is diagnosed with amnesia, so every single day she thinks that it's the day of her accident. However, this person called Henry, is new in Hawaii and meets her one day, at a cafe. He doesn't know she has amnesia and all of a sudden the say they'll meet each other the next day, only she had totally forgotten about that arrangement. Then Henry has a really good idea, but will it work, or will it not work...

Review of 50 First Dates (DVD)

Ford Orion 1.3 1989/1990

Advantages: Larger than Escort, Cheap to run and maintain
Disadvantages: underpowered, usual old age rust problems.

...and space. Roof racks could be fitted and infact I managed to fit, myself, partner, 2 kids and a 5 man canvass tent with all accessories for 2 weeks camping trip. The car has no special gadgets with mainly all mechanical parts, this made things easier for me fault diagnosis was easier. The interior was standard as for an escort/orion, grey/brown materials with grey carpet, standard foam seats, no air bags, no power steering. Just plain and simple mechanics. All in all, I liked this car even with the problems I had. If you are looking for a cheap family car with a secure boot space then this would be for you. Be prepared to put up with basic upholstery and features....

Orion TV37RN10D

Advantages: Price and features
Disadvantages: remote control

...I brought this set about 2 months ago and cannot fault it, i have it wall mounted in my games room, linked up to the ps3 and xbox 360 the picture is fantastic for an entry price point TV. This is my second Orion set and i cant fault them. I have always usually stuck with high branded products but as it was not my main tv i went for something slightly cheaper. I have to say my friend has a sony set and even he thinks the picture on the Orion is better. · Integrated digital tuner (DVB-T) to receive Freeview · HD Ready · Brightness 500 cd/m2 · Contrast ratio: 1200:1 · NICAM stereo sound · Teletext / Digital text · PAL / SECAM compatible · Accepts NTSC signals through the inputs · 2 x HDMI sockets · Component video inputs · PC input (with accompanying audio input) · 2 SCART sockets · S-Video input · AV inputs...
