A Superb DVD Player

Advantages: Picture, Sound, Cheap
Disadvantages: None

...Advantages Picture, Sound, Cheap Disadvantages None INTRODUCTION ........................ I have been searching for a DVD player for a while due to the lack of ability the Playstation 2 has of playing DVD's well. Now my playstation 2 has broken I decided I needed to get myself a stand alone DVD player instead of playing them on my Playstation 2. MY VIEW ON THE PLAYER ...................................... I had been very aware of the Toshiba SD220E after reading many glowing reviews of Toshiba's budget DVD range. This DVD player is part of an award winning range that came out a couple of years ago which including the SD210. Also on dooyoo. BUYING THE PLAYER ............................... I happened to find this player on ebay so I thought I would bid, As it happens I won the bid at a total cost of £20.50 and it...

Review of Toshiba SD 220 E

The best introduction to DVD

Advantages: Beautiful playback, Stylish, More outputs than sticks and shaken
Disadvantages: No decoder (what do you expect at this price?), Very sought after

...OK, so you can pay 60 - 80 GBP for a DVD player, from the likes of Alba, Crown and other cheap and cheerful 'manufacturers'. Just go to your Supermarket, major electrical retailer or even Toys R Us (now what's the character for a reverse R?). But you would be throwing away your money. Before buying any non-commodity item (electrical especially) a little research pays dividends (especially at the Co-op). Those same Supermarkets, along with more traditional Newsagents and bookshops, offer a number of What? consumer magazines. Then there's a raft of helpful 'comparison' web sites too. The SD220E is a five star champion across the board. Like all entry DVD players, it is compact and bijou. It comes in black or silver and more recently in multi-region format. So what do you get? Well firstly, a picture quality that is superb. Clear...

Review of Toshiba SD 220 E

A superb dvd player at a superb price

Advantages: Value for money,Nice looks,superb quality playback,wealth of sockets available
Disadvantages: selling like hot cakes, needs chip to be made multi-region capable, no scart lead.

...The Toshiba SD220E is my 3rd DVD player I have bought. Purchasing one is a veritable minefield of new acroynms to get your head around. My first 2 dvd players I bought because they were cheap, unfortunatly the players themselves were too. The Toshiba SD220E on the other hand is one hell of a piece of kit for your money. I payed £134.99 including vat and delivery from www.dvdplayers.co.uk for a pre multi-region chipped model in silver. The dvd player itself is a very sleek and stylish looking addition to anyones tv rack. One thing that suprised me was the narrow width of the player. It comes with every socket on the back of the dvd player you could ask for. It does not however have analogue outs for 5.1 sound as the player does not contain a decoder. It does however have coaxial and optical outputs if one decides to connect a 5...

Review of Toshiba SD 220 E

New to DVD? This is for you!

Advantages: Great first time buy, sleek design, value for money, tons of features
Disadvantages: Fiddly remote, 1cm too wide for my corner unit!

...For a long time I viewed the DVD market with scepticism, then came this mid-range budget player and my whole viewpoint changed. I was looking for a player that didn't cost the earth but would give me access to features that I couldn't get with VHS such Zoom modes, angle changes and the obvious improvements of both picture and sound quality. I was looking for the basics first and any extras as a bonus. As it turned out I was in luck with the SD220-E. The first thing that struck me about the player itself was the sleek design of the unit. Whilst much of the player is silver, the front fascia is covered in the main by a satinised clear perspex-like strip that houses the basic function buttons of the machine. All of this is positioned below the CD tray and incorporates a crystal clear LCD display. This is dimmable via the remote...

Review of Toshiba SD 220 E

The best sub 300 pound DVD Player there is.

Advantages: Cheap and very impressive
Disadvantages: Remote a bit too fiddly

...The things that most people look for in a good quality DVD player are the picture quality, the sound quailty, the appearance and also price. On all these 4 counts the SD220E comes out with very high marks. The picture quality is great, very clear and belies the fact that it is considered a lower end DVD player due to the price (I paid £110 from Amazon.com). None of the problems I have encountered with other DVD players is evident (this being the shocking ability of some to mess up a large black area of the screen and make it look like a mini rainbow (never good for the mood effect required in a film!). Sound wise too this player scores well. Surround sound adds a whole new dimension to a great movie and when it is as clear as this then all the better. Able to play audio CDs as well (although with slightly less clarity but if you...

Toshiba NB100

Advantages: Nice look, good battery life.
Disadvantages: Too small.

...actually pretty impressive. Function The notebook works quite well with wireless internet and doesn't cut off often as I have found with wi-fi on some other laptops. It also has an impressive battery life, in a recent car journey, I found it lasted about 3 and 3/4 hours, easily enough time for all of the film I was watching as well as some of another. It is available in two versions, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP Home., but the Linux has 512Mb of RAM and an 80Gb hard disk, the Windows one has 1Gb of RAM and a 120Gb drive. I personally own the windows version, since I know more about the operating system and prefer the high memory levels. The rest of it's specifications are pretty average for a note book and it runs as such. Overall The Toshiba NB100 is great if you're japanese and/or believe things should be made...

It could suit small business ventures that dont necessarily require a high processing speed, but is...

Review of Toshiba Satellite L350-12N

A great value Toshiba!

Advantages: Great Picture. Sound. Looks.Durability
Disadvantages: None really

...Hello all and welcome to this review. 3 Years ago it was decided that we needed a Tv in our kitchen. Well it was the room that everyone spent the most time in..... So I don't know why we didn't have one sooner. While browsing the Argos catalogue i saw this one, only £135 for a Toshiba 21 inch..... Bargain! We ordered over the phone and a few days later this thing was up and running:) But be careful when opening this, it is a very heavy unit and you could hurt yourself! Always get the Argos man to install it for you! Haha It came in a rather bland box with Toshiba stamped on every face including the Eco friendly signs. I was glad that Toshiba use eco boxes:) makes me feel better about my purchase! In the box there was: This lovely Tv A remote An aerial cable (Unusual, have to buy them seperate usually!) and full...

Review of Toshiba 21N21

The Toshiba Regza

Advantages: Price, price, price
Disadvantages: bulkiness, appearance

...The Toshiba Regza is a great Television for those looking to get good value for money. The flat, LCD, wall mountable Regza, compared to other brands, will not break the pounds at around £800-£900. Visually, the Regza 46" is plain. In order to wall mount the set a bracket needs to be purchased seperately, this can be very expensive (a couple hundred pounds). If buying the television to sit on the floor, ensure the price you pay does include the stand. The Regza is easy enough to wall mount, however it does pertrude from the wall considerably compared with other, more expensive models. The Regza is an easy television to watch, with lovely colour tones and a clear picture even in sunlight. Adjusting the screen is a little difficult unless you read the manual first, as settings are complicating compared to older TV models...
