Advantages: Fantastic Picture, Good Size, Price
Disadvantages: Connections, PIP, Remote

...electronics mmmm geek!, The TV was Packaged in a large cardboard box, internally packed in polystyrene and plastic bags with a huge plastic shield on the screen, the whole box is very cleverly used to pull and couple of tags and it all folds open leaving one TV stood upright in its glory. Design & Build Quality: Gunship grey a sharp square look, around 2" Display Frame and about 5" thick at the deepest point, the bottom is curved with a speaker grill and the front is kept very clean from anything with only the Sony brand logo placed central bottom, the Controls are on top of the TV and are Volume, Channel Menu, Source and Power, The TV Can Stand on Desktop Stand or Be Mounted, the Stand is a small footprint of about 15" x 7" and can be placed on any TV Stand Designed for 40" TV`s, The build is excellent and what you would expect from a brand...

Advantages: Superior Picture Performance, Sexy exterior, Component Input, NTSC playback
Disadvantages: Speakers aren't detatchable, no extra leads in the box, only 1 analogue tuner

...! The built in power supply means that there are no bulky transformers to hide away anywhere, just a ‘kettle’ lead (supplied) connects the TV to the mains. The KLV-26HG2 comes with a table top stand built onto it, however you can remove this and fit it to the wall using the optional wall bracket (SULW1) which is available for around a ton. Overview This TV is crammed with technology, but is designed to be subtle, which I like. The screen performance is second to none in its class, it is bright, and colourful, and vivid. It is HDTV (High Definition Television) ready, which makes it future proof. Its dimensions of 31.1" x 18.9" x 9.45"(790 x 480 x 240mm) including the stand make it thin enough to sit on the smallest shelf, though it’s not the slimmest LCD out there. It weighs 29.76 lbs (with Stand) and is easy to lift by just one person... Read review

Advantages: makes your ps2 stand
Disadvantages: thats all

...extremely easy to install, it simply inserts into the hole in the bottom on the PStwo and a small coin to tighten its one oversized screw finishes the job. Durability: The Official stand is pretty tough as it is made out of metal but be warned if it takes trips to a hard floor the charcoal black plastic will come off which seriously spoils the finish. The screw used to attach it to your PStwo is very large and very tough and unless you very careless you wont have to worry about damaging it. Value: Some may question the value of this accessory as after all it is only a stand with quite a hefty price tag of £9.99 on it but it does make your PStwo look alot better especially in a compact space and to me £10 is a small price to pay for that. Third Party: Third party vertical stands are available too from the likes of 4Gamers and Madcatz... Read review

Advantages: Looks great, Sound quality wonderful, Easy to set up, picture quality very good, relatively inexpensive.
Disadvantages: Settings in software for bass/balance, no component video, 1 scart.

...Got this item pretty cheap considering how good it really is. Looked at quite a few various systems, but following the purchase of other Sony items just wanted to keep some commonality. Floor standing speakers look great, no messing around with wall brackets (pet hate). Female influence also forced this a little. The voice speaker is very powerful and is balanced great so the floor speakers never drown it out. The balancing i talked about in disadvantages is actually very easy, once you find the button for the menu on the remote. Picture of various sized rooms with an arm chair, just move the arm chair to where you are sitting. There is also a +- for all the speakers and the sub on yet another menu, not so easy to find. Have not really messed with this. Programmed settings are excellent. The DVD player is multi... Read review

Advantages: Great music and lyrics, vocals
Disadvantages: Nothing

...his way through the lyrics. This get's the album off to a great start. 2.) Love In This Club This is this albums equivalent to Usher's massive hit "Yeah". This track is about the moment when you are in a club with someone you are really attracted to and want to get down to business with them. This has a great beat and the vocals flow through the track brilliantly. 3.) This Ain't Sex This is a great mid tempo track which Usher performed on some TV shows arouhnd the world in the build up to the album. This is about making love on another level than sex. A real connection between the two of you. This song is so catchy and is one of the funkiest tracks on Here I Stand. 4.) Trading Places This opens with a pounding drum beat and then a piano comes in. I love the way the drum beat moves along throught the song... Read review

Advantages: Lots and lots of well-shot action!!
Disadvantages: Simple storyline and the rest of the movie.

.... The film wasn’t a hit on the cinema and made most of its money on rental and TV. Evaluation/My opinion. Like I mentioned earlier I would happily sit through Last Man Standing again, but just to enjoy the excitement of the well-shot shooting sequences, that are in the many. The special effects that are used (mainly in the shooting scenes) are well used and the make-up is well done. I would have to give ‘Last Man Standing’, Six out of ten – mainly for the excitement. However the story line was acceptable. I think it is clear to say that both Bruce Willis and Christopher Walken could both do and get better parts than this. AN ENJOYABLE DISSAPOINTMENT. Thanks for reading.... Read review

Advantages: a good mix of songs, fantastic vocals, lyrics included in cd inlay
Disadvantages: none

...More Girl". To be honest, I have never heard the original song, and I don't know how close it is to the original, but they sound great on it, and it is a powerful track for something that plays out so slowly. You can imagine some of the songs on "Stand Still Look Pretty" being put to good use on an American teen drama - oh wait, they already have! Their songs have appeared in both "One Tree Hill" and "Smallville" - some may sniff at this but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. I think myself that when a song is used as a soundtrack to a particular moment, whether it's a film or a tv programme, it shows how much a song's melody and lyrics can relate to a certain point in someone's life, and isn't that one of the reasons why music is so powerful? Excuse me, didn't mean to get all deep there! Both Branch and Harp have great voices... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Powerful, Great sound for the price
Disadvantages: None

...I purchased this amplifier about a year ago, and I have been extremely pleased with it. I am a student in music technology, so I am quite picky when it comes to audio equipment, but this is a fantastic amplifier for the price. >Value< Unfortunalely, due to my financial standing as a student, I was limited to around £100-150. I would ideally want a mid-range amplifier such as a Denon, but at this price range you will only get a low wattage model. I have 120w floor-standing speakers, so I decided to go for this Sony beast, which has a power handling of 140w RMS (70W per channel, stereo). 'Bang per buck' is excellent here' >First Impressions and Aesthetics< First impressions were good - build and appearance are of typical Sony quality. The amplifier comes in black as standard, but mine is the TA-FE370S (silver). The device... Read review

Advantages: Inexpensive DVD, produces belly giggles and ample bonus material.
Disadvantages: Unsightly rugs

...Special A 30 minute stand up performance of Jimmy. He recycled most of his usual and in my opinion best jokes into a short act. Top Gear Interview Mr Carr is interviewed by Mr Clarkson then Jimmy trying to beat the previous guests' times round the race track in "a reasonably priced car." XFM Highlights Commentary on the show with Ian Morris, Jimmy's producer. Subtitles Although not strictly in the bonus material, it might as well be. You can choose to read the subtitles in the Queen's English, Cockney, Yorkshire and Scottish. It's like 5 versions of the show for the price of one. Being a Yorkshire lass I can relate to the Yorkshire subtitles the most. As an example Jimmy says "I said to my girlfriend, you shouldn't eat before you go swimming, she said why and I said, you…look… fat." and the Yorkshire subtitle reads "Ah sez... Read review
