Sony VPL-ES2

Advantages: Motorised Tilt, Auto Setup
Disadvantages: Poor Sound Quality

...The sony VPL-ES2 is a great projector at a bargain price. I wil admit that I think it would struggle with large presentations with only having a 1500 lumen lamp. But for home use and for small scale office presentations this projector is just what you need. I bought this projector for watching films at home after selling my previous projector due to it being far too noisy. This projector is very different when it is on the sound from it is barely noticeable. If you've purchased a projector before then you'll know that the most important thing is the bulb life. Because when the bulb goes they can easily cost anywhere upwards from £300-£400. It is often a more economically viable option just to replace the projector. However with this projector you have no reason to worry. The bulb life is a staggering 3000hours and in eco mode it...

Review of Sony VPL ES2

The price of portability and quality

Advantages: Portability - appearance - resolution
Disadvantages: Price

..., finances don't always stretch that far and then you can hear me talking up my Alba stereo and LG television!) And so I arrive at the Sony VPL EX1 data projector. For those who have not used or become aware of data projectors: a data projector takes input from a computer or tv/video/dvd source and projects it onto a screen or wall at a far larger size than would normally be considered affordable. Ideal for presentations to an audience that are increasingly finding their way into the home as a tool for home cinema. In this instance, having used the projector for some time, I am happy to report that you do get what you pay for and to confirm that the Sony badge does cost a little more than some of the nearby projectors that look similar but carry an alternative brand name. So, let’s start with the bottom line. This projector cost us...

NO MORE VPL!

Advantages: quiet, horizontal AND vertical keystone adjustment
Disadvantages: no gamma correction facility, low output

...-saving solution and would make it less visible, it would also be less susceptible to damage once it had been installed on the ceiling. What the VPL lacks in number of features it certainly makes up for in picture quality in my opinion. Sony have obviously prioritised correctly with this piece of kit because naturally with any projector the key is to have a high picture quality. This machine has three LCD panels fitted to improve colour accuracy and it uses high quality optics. If you?ve got a suitably-equipped DVD player the VPL is also able to display a progressive scan image which a lot of the earlier models don?t. Setting up the unit is very straightforward, as I find with most Sony appliances the instruction manual offers detailed step-by-step instruction on wall mounting etc. so you really shouldn?t experience any difficulty even if you...

Advantages: High Brightness, 3LCD Projection System, AIAS (Advanced Intelligent Auto Setup), Short Focal Length
Disadvantages: Abit Noisy

...The Sony VPL CX21 is a bright, slim, and stylish projector designed for mobile applications. A friend of mine has this and we always watch movies on it.

It provides high light...

Listen with Sony

Advantages: Comfortable and cheap
Disadvantages: careful around traffic

...Sony MDR-EX35LP Hi, this review is about Sony MDR-EX35LP earphone. The brand Sony is very popular with their high standards quality products. It is very rarely heard of that their products become faulty... beside Playstations. This earphone has a neat and tidy design. It is slim and simple but not so stylish. That does not really matter as when do you get someone checking your earphones. Most of them looks practical the same. In the Sony website (http://www.sony.co.uk/product/hip-ex-series/mdr-ex35lp), there is an option of white, red and black colour. But elsewhere, for example ebay, there are colours available in pink, blue and gold... mainly from Hong Kong. There is no additional extension cord but the cord is long enough with a length of 1.2m. There is a slider so you could adjust the length and also it helps prevent...

Sony's pearls

Advantages: Unique pearl design that comes in different colours
Disadvantages: Not as efficient

...Hi, this review is about Sony?s earphone MDR-EX33LP. Manufacturer Two Japanese men, Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka worked together from when they were young. Their lives were always designing and manufacturing new electronics. One of their first innovations was the automatic rice cooker that was successful. They were originally called Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, which is interpreted as Tokyo Telecommunication Engineering Company. These men made a living by repairing radios and manufacturing voltmeters. Later, after many successes, they founded the company Sony in 1946. Sony has an excellent meaning that suits well for Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuke. Sony is made from two parts; the word sonus, meaning sound in Latin and also the term sonny boy that was used in America, which mean bright youngster is what was put together. Sony has...

Review of Sony VPL CS2

SOny VPLCX76 - Excellent value and quality.

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, Strong built in wireless support, Good build quality
Disadvantages: Contrast is poor

...This projector is very simple to operate, with Sony?s automatic setup features present in full force. Turning on the power causes the built-in lens protector to retract -- there?s no lens cap to lose -- and the motorised tilt mechanism to raise the projector to the height last used. Auto input search then finds your PC or video connection and displays the image, which is then automatically adjusted for focus, vertical keystone and pixel alignment. Manual settings include a horizontal keystone adjustment that allows you to project off-centre from the wall or screen you?re using. When the power is removed, the internal cooling fans continue to blow until the lamp has cooled. This means you can switch off and go without the usual wait before unplugging the projector. The VPL-CX76 uses 3 x LCD imaging and the image quality of the VPL-CX76...

sony MDR-EX 71 SLB

Advantages: the bass, the treble ans the all the round great sound and quality
Disadvantages: not many!

...I'm not going to beat around the bush with these head phones... THEY ARE AWESOME! I got a pair of these from my local sony retailer about 3 weeks ago. I had bought an ipod but the headphones had broken within 2 weeks of using them. after seeing the price for a new pair of ipod headphones (which i now hated with a passion) i decided i may aswell push the boat out and find some better headphones. the mdr-ex71sl's were recommended to me by a close friend of mine. when i finally located a pair, i thought they looked slightly cheap, but looks can be very decieving. the sound quality is amazing and the bass can actually be heard without a constant rattle or vibration, they are durable and they are by far worth the money if you want to spend the £30+ . the one thing i do not like about these, and is purely because im fussy more than...
