...The Techwood TWP 4210 is a truly awesome television. i have been a owner of techwood tv's for a long time and i have to say that this i sone of the best that i have ever had.

Disadvantages: see my first review of the telephone

...Although you can no longer buy the Bonatone Vantage 4210 you can track down used handsets and base units from places like eBay and Amazon. I have had my 4210 for over 18 months and it still looks, feels and performs like it did the day my purchase arrived. Even if it died and refused to work ever again, 18 months use for £30 is nothing to turn your nose up about. The thing is, I can't see my 4210 ever starting to look outdated and if it gives me a further 6 months of hassle free performance I may well break out into song as I really didn't expect much prior to buying it. I think Binatone, I think of the first cordless telephones that looked awful and tacky. What sets the 4210 aside from its nasty predesessor is the fact that it is near on identical to a Siemens cell phone I owned about 3 years ago and still brings back memories... Read review

...Product: Digital Terrestrial Receiver Manufacturer: Techwood Model: TWD FV2A Supplier: Curry's Price: £19.99 Features: Remote Control, Single SCART connector, TV IN/OUT, Now & Next EPG, 5 Event Timer, Teletext, Favourites List. Dimensions: 231(9.1) x 156(6.1) x 44(1.7) mm(in) - 840(1.9) g(lbs) Review: If like me you have a second TV or a Video/Hard Disk Recorder in the house that doesn't support Freeview, you may be interested in this cheap and cheerful DVBT receiver from Techwood. As befits it's price the Techwood TWD VV2A is not a bells and whistles piece of equipment, rather it is functional to the extreme. Packaged with only a TV aerial lead and a couple of slim instruction manuals, this rather chunky receiver is definitely aimed at the "price is paramount marketplace". Even the box the unit comes in is a really... Read review

Advantages: Superb Quality, SUperb Price
Disadvantages: None Whatsoever

...This is an amazing piece of kit for the money! I recently bought this Techwood 32" LCD TV, Sporting a 1366 x 768 HD Resolution and an HDMi input, a feature often missing on budget television sets, but a must for XBOX360 and Playstation3 owners. The look and feel is also excellent, finished in a matt black with a lovely deep black LCD screen, the buttons and LED's on the actual TV itself are nicely designed and unobtrusive, the blue colour of the LED when in standby mode is also very cool looking. One of the best features is that in the box you get both the base mounting kit for placing the unit on a surface, and also the wall mounting kit, which usualyy costs anything upto £60.00 as an additional purchase, this is excellent value for money when considering this is a budget piece of equipment! The TV is easy to use, has numerous... Read review

Advantages: Good quality pix for your money
Disadvantages: My firewall didn't like the software updater

...I went into Comet to buy a replacement video, and came out with a digital camera - don’t ask me how that happened! Anyway, the camera I bought was the Kodak Easyshare CX4210. My decision was based on price - it was the cheapest one in the cabinet with a tag of £99.99, but it got even cheaper when the sales assistant discovered it was the last one in the shop and they wouldn’t be restocking - £89.99! The camera comes with 2 ‘AA’ Kodak digital camera batteries, a USB cable for downloading photos to your computer, a video out cable for viewing photos on your TV, a wrist strap and a ‘custom camera insert’ for use with optional Kodak Easyshare camera docks (which I didn’t buy, but is for one touch picture transfer and battery charging). Also included in the box is an easy to use quick start guide, and 2 CD-roms - Kodak easy share... Read review

Advantages: Price, Ease of use
Disadvantages: Doesn't play DVD-Rs

...I have recently bought the LG 4210 DVD player and although cannot yet write about reliability over a period of time, I thought I'd let you know my initial impressions. Firstly, I bought it in October 2001 from Comet for £159, which included 3 DVDs (Big Daddy, The Sixth Day and Hollow Man). Although it came with a scart lead to connect to your TV, I was advised to buy a better quality gold scart lead with more connectors- apparently giving better quality although I haven't checked that). Anyway, the basic specs of the machine are: Plays DVDs and audio CDs (it doesn't play VCDs (video disks which aren't really sold in this country but are big in Japan). It also doesn't play CDRs or DVD-Rs - these are disks which have been made usually by people at home although some small businesses produce them (e.g. I have seen a company that can... Read review

Advantages: Cheap includes twenty movies
Disadvantages: not multi regional

...In true Christmas tradition I was in Tesco on Christmas Eve doing some first and last minute shopping. Essentials were already in the trolley: wine, whisky, vodka, gin, fizzy stuff and some orange juice for the Bucks Fizz. Time to look round the boring bits of the store, endeavour can be rewarded and it was in this case because I came across an LG 4210 DVD player complete with twenty movies for the cost of £199.99. Who could be worthy of such a gift in such a large box, (always the most exciting to open!)? Why me of course. Time to rush home rip open the box throw away the 40-page manual and set the machine up, (is this a man thing?) The DVD player is a sleek silver model weighing 3 kgs measuring approximately 43 cms by 15 cms by 7.5 cms the actual dimensions may be in the manual but I don’t know where this is. The player can...

Advantages: Nice camera with plenty of features.
Disadvantages: Problems with batteries

...I got the Kodak cx4210 for my christmas and I was really impressed as I took it out of the box and saw its sleek and functional design for the first time. All of the buttons were conveniently placed on the body of the camera, (just under your thumb), and the lcd screen was a definate pro. The interface that you access using the lcd screen was functional and easy to use. The review mode is convenient but it is hard to get the full impact of your photos when viewing them on a 2" display. The picture quality was excellent in relation to the price of the camera. The only problem I have with the camera is the batteries it uses. The 2 AA batteries supplied with the camera worked fine and powered it for several hours but when I replaced them they only lasted 5 minutes. Since then I have also purchased a Kodak Easyshare camera dock... Read review

Advantages: Looks Cool - It is like having the use of 2 phones - Base Speakerphone
Disadvantages: No Speakerphone on the Handset itself

...Recently, my cordless telephone broke down, leaving me know option but to replace it. However, I was not going to run out and buy the first phone I saw, Oh No! so I decided to use my standin phone for a short time, until I found the phone that most appealed to me; which I must add didn't take very long. I went into Argos to to buy something, when I came accross one of their offer flyers. I took the flyer home, and had a good look through it, and that was when I came accross the Binatone Vantage 4210 telephone. It looked fantastic, and I just hoped that the quality of the phone would be a good as its looks. Anyway I decided to purchase it at a very reasonable price of £34.95. I took home the phone and on looking at the workmanship of the phone, it looked great. It has a comfortable feel in the hand, and looks really modern too... Read review
