Technika Television

Advantages: Compact, Stylish
Disadvantages: Slightly slow software

...wall mounted, with standard mounting holes to fit most brackets. The Technika also has the outstanding idea of having the freeview service and dvd player built in making it very convinent and a good all in one. The remote is a good size and the buttons are easy to understand and you don't have to be really close to the television for it to work like with some remotes, it will quite easily work from the other side of the room. The instruction manual was also easy to understand all though this was hardly needed as the television was so easy to set up. We purchased ours from our local Tesco supermarket for £279 which i concider a very good price for the television with built in DVD and Freeview. The cable has a good lenth to it making it easy to place where you want it and still be able to reach the plug socked without masses...

Review of Technika LCD19DVDID-107

Technika does me proud.

Advantages: Price !
Disadvantages: None as far as I can see.

...of the television and it is ready to play. Then when you have finished, remove the DVD , press the `Source` button again and return the highlighted area back to Digital/Freeview. The Teletext is easy to operate and you can watch both text and programme at the same time if needs be. All of the channels, both terrestrial and Freeview are good. The remote control set is easy to understand and the one remote covers all functions. For us one of the main benefits was managing to rid ourselves of all those unsightly cables. Before buying this Technika set we had cables running for the television, the DVD player and the Freeview box. We are more than pleased with our purchase, some have said that integrated DVD players are not the best of ideas but we are willing to take that chance. The price was excellent and we think that we got a good bargain...

Review of Technika LCD22-208

Remote Remote

Advantages: Good Features. Well Made
Disadvantages: A little expensive

...As mentioned in my review of the Wii Nunchuck I have had my Wii for a few weeks but haven?t had chance to review it so am starting with the peripherals. The Wii uses wireless controllers (it was the first games console to do this) that communicate with the main console via bluetooth. Unfortunately the Wii only comes with a single controller and as the main fun with the Wii comes from playing against friends and family I immediately purchased a second controller for £29.99 (it is hard to find them cheap anywhere on line or the high street). The controller is white plastic (the same as the Wii itself) styled like a small TV remote and is solidly made and feels even more so when the 2 AA batteries are put in. The remote which has a wrist strap (to prevent it flying from your hand and smashing your TV or other fragile items when you...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Remote - game pad

Technika 8" digital photo frame good value for money

Advantages: 1GB internal memory built-in, easy of use
Disadvantages: May not be recognized by certain computer e.g. XP Home with AMD chip?

...My Mrs wanted me to buy a digital photo frame because our friends have recently got one. So I started to look at the most common 7" frames and then she said they are a bit small. The next one up is 8" but with much less choices. That is not too bad because it is easier to make a decision. It was down to the final two - Tesco's Technika SR08 or the Linx 8" from Amazon. While I was browsing and investigating at my leisure, Amazon suddenly raised the price from £52.43 to £78.28! This makes the Linx too expensive. So I have just bought the Technika SR08 from Tesco Direct for £58.48 instead. The set up was easy - plug and play (well not quite that straight forward, see below). For the picture display the screen resolution is 800 x 600 pixels, better than the Linx DPF. However the manual did not mentio the screen...

Review of Technika SR08

Wii Remote Controller

Advantages: Innovation, Responsiveness
Disadvantages: Price, Ease Of Use

...I purchased the Nintendo Wii after weeks of searching the internet for a shop that hadnt sold out and once i found one available i bought it immediately. The package came with Wii sports and a remote controller and i have to say that i was quite impressed. The controllers work well with the console and in particular with wii sports. The biggest issue that i have with the remote is the battery issue. Whilst the batteries do last a long time when installed, to keep replacing them costs a fortune. I also have had this problem with my xbox 360 wireless controllers and would recommend anybody who was buying the controllers to also consider a quick charge kit to accompany it. The unit is very responsive and works very well, this depends on where you put the sensor that is supplied with the wii so make sure that you read the manual carefully...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Remote - game pad

Wii Remote

Advantages: Great product, allows for playability
Disadvantages: None

...The Wii Remote My husband and I love our Wii machine and have had it for two years plus now and have still not tired of it. When we first bought the machine it came with two Wii remote which are basically essential pieces of kit because this is what allows you to play all the games. A Wii remote is basically the games controller and works by using motion sensing capability. The great thing about the Wii controller is that you don?t have to plug it in so it really lends itself to the interactive game play that is the beauty of the Wii itself. I hate it when you have to plug a remote in as it means you are really tied to the spot you are playing. With the Wii remote you can walk around and it gives you room to perfect your tennis backhand or golf swing for example. A Wii remote is approximately 7 inches long and about 2 inches...

Review of Nintendo Wii Remote

Nintendo Wii remote

Advantages: Durable and Sleek
Disadvantages: Wired to the Nunchuck controller, battery powered.

...With the release of the Nintendo Wii, controller design was always going to be an integral part of the console. As a result, Nintendo have opted for the sleek approach, no bigger than an average TV remote. Working in tandem with the Wii Sensor Bar (which comes with the console), it allows for the gamer to point and use the remote as if they were in the game. This review is mainly to give pointers with many questions and queries often asked about the remote, as well as offering basic information about the use of the controller. The controllers work using AA Batteries (though an AAA battery adapter was provided in my Wii bundle) and this can be quite expensive especially if this console is played on very regularly. I recommend that Ni-Mh rechargeable batteries are purchased in order to get the full potential of the product. This...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Remote - game pad

Wii loves the Wii remote

Advantages: Sleek, attractive design. Gives a unique gaming experience
Disadvantages: Uses batteries..

...Wii remotes are wonderful! I find they give a unique console gaming experience that is not available with other console controllers. The great thing about the Wii remote is that it gives you a wireless gaming experience allowing you more freedom to move around whilst playing, and really get in to the movement and action in the game. Of course the downside to this is that it needs batteries, and if you use our Wii a lot - lots of batteries! The Wii remote is a really attractive design. It is pure white and is in a rectangular shape. There is a sensor at the top of the remote which is to be pointed towards the sensor bar which you place on top of the tv (which comes with the Wii console) The Wii remote fits in your hand really nicely, it is not uncomfortable to hold at all. You only use one hand to control the Wii remote (depending...

Review of Nintendo Wii Remote

A condom for your Wii remote!

Advantages: Your remote wont slip out of your hand
Disadvantages: Have to take it off if you want to use a steering wheel

...I don't know how many times I have gasped at people on Youtube throwing their Wii remote at the TV while they are playing a game. I would be absolutely gutted if I smashed our beloved flat screen but fortunately I shouldn't have this problem. Nintendo have come up with a solution and if you bought your Wii a while a go then you can go to there website where you can pick yours up for free. The Wii remote jacket is basically a silicone outer that fits snugly over the remote. It gives your hand a much better grip on the remote while you play games and stops the silly accidents that have happened in the past. The jacket looks flexible but I did wonder how easily it would fit onto the remote. I can safely say that I found it very easy. You do have to push and pull it a bit but it bends easily whilst still remaining intact. I have been...

Review of Nintendo Wii Remote Jacket

Wii Remotes-the best game controllers so far?

Advantages: Very responsive
Disadvantages: Battery life is poor

...This contraption is an amazing piece of technology. At least one Wii remote control pad is supplied when you purchase the Nintendo Wii. I don't think its much to look at, but here is a case where form followed function. It appears to be a pretty average remote control pad but it's far from that. It consists of 8 buttons on the top: - Power on/off - Direction pad - Button A - '-' Button - Home Button - '+' Button - Button 1 - Button 2 As well as the Button B on the underside. The majority of individual button functions obviously vary with the software you are using on the Wii at the time. Currently I have only seen these Wii Remotes in white, but hopefully they will be available in more colours shortly. At the bottom end of the remote there is a port for the Wii Nunchuck, which is an additional control device...
