PDP-4280 XD - Crispier than a Chinese Duck!

Advantages: Excellent sound, excellent vision, modern technology at its best
Disadvantages: A tad expensive, slight issue with shadows

...The Pioneer 4280XD a fantastic choice of television and quite possibly one of the best plasma options currently out of the market, before it's release there was a massive hype within the circles that follow this sort of thing and you should know that the visual quality even when not on High Definition is absolutely gob smacking but then for the price it retails at, you'd expect as much wouldn't you? Unfortunately there isn't all that much I can tell you about this product, after all it's a tele and the best way to review a tele will always be to watch it but as per usual I'll give my insight and hope that it helps you the consumer make an educated decision regarding the PDP-4280, perhaps the best way to start this would be to reveal the specifications. Features and Measurements: Screen Size: 42 inches Aspect Ratio: 16...

Review of Pioneer PDP 506 XDE

PDP4270xd GREAT Value palsma!!

Advantages: Value for money, pure blacks and contrast reproduction
Disadvantages: 1 x HDMI, no PC input, cant take 1080i or p signal unlike 427xd

...i am a experienced tv retailer and i am hell bound to give my personal and impartial opinion. this tv is a great buy for those who can see the light and realise that 1080i/p signals are too far off to be buying a 1920x1080 res tv now!! although most people who have the money will probably opt for the higher model (PDP427xd) as this has the ability for process the 1080i signals and re-interpolate them to fit the 768 screen personally i feel from experience that what ever you are using will look better if it is set to the 720p mode as then the TV is not messing with the signal. the tv does benefit from having the best Plasma Contrast processor on the market and this shows especially when you are watching movies and sport. this is normally a given when it comes to the Plasma VS LCD debate but even against other Plasmas this TV...

Pioneer PDP-505HD

Advantages: Great
Disadvantages: None

...The design on the TV is great. The side speakers are very well integrated with the TV and don't stand out either (they are removable as well if you plan to use a surround sound speaker system). The picture is outstanding and I felt it really was head-and-shoulders above the other TVs I was considering (Sharp Aquos, Sony Plasmas, Philips, Hitachi and Panasonic). I went to a several retailers and looked at the large Plasma tvs with the same High Definition signal and the Poineer was the best there. As i said before the picture quality is the best i have experienced and this TV delivers a stunning picture which sharp contrast and no pixelization and the sound quality is also great with everything sounding like it has just happened beside you and with Pioneer's new PDP-505HD Advanced PureCinema,material on DVD, videotape, and even...

Review of Pioneer PDP-505HD

Pioneer PDP 507XD

Advantages: Breath-taking quality
Disadvantages: none as yet

...This TV simply oozes quality in every area. The panel itself is of the highest quality I have ever experienced. Some firms make the mistake of producing a high-quality panel, coupled with mediocre sound. I really do believe this set has extremely high quality speakers built in. Spending £2k on a TV, you don't want to buy something that is going to become obsolete anytime soon. Now we all know how fast-paced the TV market is, but this set tries to combat future technology with the inclusion of 2 HDMI sockets (to connect you HD peripherals) and 3 scart sockets. Quite simply, this set has plenty of connectivity options. You really do get what you pay for with this set. Now I'm told black designs are 'in' this year. Pioneer have obviously followed suit with their new range of plasmas, and I have to say, whilst you watch a tv...

The revolution will not be televised - XMI X-mini II Mini speaker

Advantages: Great sound, bargain price, sleek look.
Disadvantages: The kids listening to happy hardcore at the back of the bus might find out.

...Revolutions: they aren?t usually very good, are they? Big promises by ego-crazed dictators, resulting in the butcher of millions of innocents. No, I?m not a massive fan of revolutions, so I was sceptical when the X-mini arrived on my doorstep, promising ?audio revolution in a box?. On the back, the big promises continued: ?Delivering on the promise of ?sound beyond size?, the X-mini II capsule speaker is petite in size but massive in sound?. By this point I was becoming very suspicious. The look of the thing worried me a little too. Not because it looks bad - it has a very slick look; the vivid red of the speaker poking out from the round, black casing like some demented 8-ball. It?s also very small, which is obviously handy. It?ll easily fit in your back pocket. The packaging too is very attractive (although if you lose sleep over...

Speakers which might do the job?

Advantages: Cheap, good sound
Disadvantages: reliability

...Hello, Welcome to my review. I had these speakers included with my lovely hp computer which I purchased back in 2005. These speakers came in a rather blank box, with HP written on it, they came nicely packed with a lovely and very easy to use instruction booklet. They looked very professional and they are a nice grey/silver colour with a tint of blue, you plug these into the back of your monitor and they run off the monitors power input which is very useful, they do not have a power cable themself because they use the monitors cable for power, meaning theres a saving of plugs when it comes to your two point plug way! The speakers are prevented in dark blue plastic, with a silver/grey with "Hewlett-Packard" on the front, with the soft cotton above covering the speakers themself, tinted at the top with a silver/grey strip. These...

iPod speakers

Advantages: Portable and lightweight
Disadvantages: You have to be very careful with them.

...I received these speakers as a Birthday present in March from a friend. I was thrilled with them as I had been desperate for a docking station or speakers to play my iPod on. The speakers: The speakers are very attractive and compact yet produce a rich deep bass sound, which is not always present on speakers of this size. They are very lightweight and fold to close at 15 ounces and 8 inches wide, 5.4 inches deep and 1.2 inches thick. The box the speakers come in quotes "With four AA batteries your speakers will play continuously for twenty-four hours" which sounds brilliant but in my experience on 2 x AA batteries they will play for 19 hours. As well as built in controls there is a wireless remote but you do have to be quite near to the speakers and at the right angle for the remote to actually work! The speakers also act as...

Review of Pioneer PDP 435 PE

Champagne Speakers

Advantages: Looks stylish and produces excellent quality sound
Disadvantages: Price

...If you have a pc or laptop and are interested in music, you've probably got some computer speakers. Well I brought a desktop pc and I managed to break the speakers so had to purchase some more. I can't surf the Internet or write reviews unless I'm listening to music or the radio. That?s the great thing about pc's and the Internet is that you can listen to any radio station in the whole wide world! Or you put all your cd collection on to your hard drive and use your pc as your hi fi. Well, these speakers look the part for starters. The two side speakers look like champagne glasses hence the name, very sleek and ultra modern style unlike the normal box shape speakers. They don't look like computer speakers, as they are black in colour. Most of the computer speakers are either beige or a grey colour. You also get a super...
