Sony KDL-40X3000

Advantages: Accurate Colours, Deep Blacks, Great HD picture
Disadvantages: Below-par video processing, expensive

...This television, for me, offers essentially everything - but at a price. Aesthetics wise, it is excellent, the glass surround adding an extra element of design often missing in new televisions. There are plenty of connections available for use on the X3000/X3500, including HDMIx3 and Componentx3, and a USB slot. Generally, I feel the Television offers very good image quality via SD Freeview, Sky or Virgin Media. During fast action scenes such as sports, the video processing of the Bravia Engine Pro lets the set down a bit - occasionally pixelated areas appear. This can be improved by activating the 'MotionFlow 100Hz' feature available, but it cannot be truely eliminated. However, HD is, as is most sets, where the Sony shines. The picture quality on Blu-Ray discs and the PlayStation 3 is excellent, with little to no motion blurring...

Toshiba TLP-S30 A Form Over Function Projector

Advantages: Looks Great - Very Stylish, Compact & Very Light.
Disadvantages: Not Bright Enough At All

...The Toshiba TLP-S30 Projector This projector is very aesthetically pleasing, it looks very modern and and the face of it looks to be a great projector. There are several important factors to look at when considering buying a projector and that is the brightness. This projector boasts a 1400 lumen lamp. For those of you who aren't used to projector terminology, lumens are just a unit for the measure of how bright the bulb in a projector is (and lamp is just the correct term for a projector bulb) Now this isn't an amazing brightness, but the Sanyo PLC-SU20 (just as an example) works comfortably at 1200 lumens and around 1500 lumens is really what somebody new to projectors should probably be looking at. So the brightness of this projector is good then you woul think. Well actually no; On paper the projector should perform very...

Review of Toshiba TLP S30

TURN YOUR HOME INTO A HOME CINEMA

Advantages: size of an A4 piece of paper
Disadvantages: replacement bulb cost

...This review is for my other projector (gotta love Ebay) the Toshiba TLP-B2 now if you want the specific specs then please also look at the product information tab. This review is about how I feel about the performance of this unit and then some hehehe. The Advantages: The Projector: This unit is VERY small (size of an A4 piece of paper) and very light and because of this I have no worries that it is going to fall out of the ceiling where it is mounted currently. When I bought mine it came with a very nice carry case that could hold the unit, remote and still had enough room to hold any papers or presentation materials you may have to use. The picture produced by this machine is GREAT with its 16million colors plus combined with a light bulb that produces 1000 lumens and lasts for 2000+ hours you don't need to be in...

Review of Toshiba TLP B2

Stunning quality!

Advantages: Beautiful Quality Camera, fantastic quality pics, very easy plug n play
Disadvantages: None so far

...I have had this camera now for about 2 weeks, having been recommended it by my local camera shop (price £159). We probably should have searched for the cheapest available online - but I do like personal service and will pay for it. Available in Black or Silver and with an ultra high quality 12.1 mega pixel CCD lens, this is one camera that is more than ample for our 'family outings' and yet has so many features, I am sure would keep a professional photographer happy. The screen is approx 2 and a half inches across, and easy to view and internally, it has a 12 GB memory, which holds a huge array of (upto 4000x3000 pixel) photos. There are a wide arrange of settings allowing video, scene settings to try and look your best, or can be switched to auto to let nature take its course... It comes with a USB and HD attachment, and can...

Review of Casio EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z1200

Picture this

Advantages: The weight of the camera and optical zoom
Disadvantages: The blurred images which appear

...which is terrible considering how big each picture size can be. This has to be bigger in my view. The video resolution for this camera is 640x480 pixels and that is not to bad considering and it does look fairly good on the camera. The video quality for this camera is 30fps which is fantastic and the best I have ever had for a camera. The video format is always in AVI which is very good as this means this can be used on the computers for DivX player and then transferred to a DVD+R disc to view on a DVD player. Image resolution for this camera is 4000x3000 which is fantastic and the best it can produce. This camera can use up to a 32GB SD memory card, which is extremely good for a camera, this size. Overall the specifications for this camera are simply fantastic. Features ---------------- This camera has one very good feature...
