Such a lovely little thing! When I go out jogging, it's not the slightest in the way and works perfectly. It stores all my favourite songs and I can't remember how I managed without it.
Another thing... I searched the internet high and low and found the same item for even as much as £30 more than what I payed for at amazon. Rather funny thing too was that when I bought the item from amazon it would've cost me £3 more to have bought the iPod Shuffle which had only 1GB memory from Argos. But this way I got it for cheaper and with more storage AND delivered to my door for free. Couldn't be better.

I spent time checking that the cartridge would be suitable for my photosmart printer and found that the 350xl was a match for the C4200 series - unfortunately the product that arrived did not fit my printer. The code would benefit from a more detailed explanation in the description as to printer compatability.
The 351xl that I ordered from cartridge king was a perfect fit. Not sure what went wrong in the ordering process from Indigo Starfish for the black cartridge but this has proved a costly mistake - as I did not realise it would not not fit until after opening the package.

Ordered on Monday 22 Dec 2008. Delivered at 9am next morning. Can't argue with that for service. Setup of the TV is simple and quick. SD channels look great and even 2 metres away are still impressive and not pixellated. Analogue are there but unecessary and not brill.
The 37" screen is great for a typical lounge (mine is about 3.8m X 3.8m) and the viewing from the typical L-shaped sofa and obligatory two armchairs is not too big or too small. Action is handled well and colours/blacks and whites very good.
I did consider a 40" inch but as this TV is in a corner, a 40" would have meant that it starts to creep into the lounge and dominate. I also considered Full HD but came to the conclusion that I don't need it ... Read More:

Having used a Sony DVD camcorder for just over 12 months I was beginning to get tired of some of its "issues", such as sqaushing 16:9 footage into 4:3 and Sony's own proprietary ways of coding the information on the DVD which makes it difficult to read by other software I have. But I was learning to live with them...
However the worse thing happened on Christmas Day. Having taken video of the kids opening their presents I switched the camera off. On swicthing it back on later the same day to review the footage I got a "recording diabled" message and all the camera wanted to do was format the disc. I put the disc into a PC and tried everything I could think of to locate the footage, but to no avail. It was totally lost - the ... Read More:

Ordered this cable at the same time I ordered PVR from another supplier on 18th June. PVR arrived on 20th.
The cable finally arrived this morning, 25th.
Happily the PVR came with its own cable-however,the downside to this was that the cable was cheap and caused a lot of "ghosting".
The Strand cable has cured most of the "ghosting", and, as such, is very good value for the unit cost and P&P- if you can afford to wait for delivery, that is.

There is a way to open and close the DVD tray...something that is not in the instructions for the machine. If you hold the `stop` button in for a few seconds, the words `Open` appears and the tray opens up. Press and hold again to close the tray. I found this, as my VHS player has the same function and I tried it out! Great machine...i bought 3 of them and using one until that one wears out!

This USB drive is an absolute bargain, costing no more than an internal drive of the same capacity. It is large enough to requre the use of an AC power supply, in case anyone was wondering. The case is very neat and the rubber protective ends are very functional. The best feature however is that it powers itself down when my laptop goes into sleep mode. Making it ideal for playing music, or even large batch tasks, it will simply turn off with the pc after a period of inactivity.

I am very disappointed with TOMTOM. I purchased the device back in September and only one month later I am experiencing serious issues with it. It is the 520 Traffic edition. It use to reboot when I was driving in the car and for the last few weeks I have had the dreaded red X issue that a lot of people are talking about. I have formatted the drive as recommended on the TOMTOM web site. I have even resorted to downloaded a FLASH clearing utility and have had to re-install ALL the software. You do get the option to restore from backup but I did this before and the issue re-appeared.
We all need a "reliable" device and I can not rate this device high because it simply is not reliable. After one month, I would definitely not recommend ... Read More:

I bought this dvd player based on the reviews here, especially regarding region 1 hack. However everybody should be aware that the hack doesn't work. It looks as though Samsung have made changes. It is impossible to get the no disc sign off to allow the sequence to begin. Pity as the main reason I bought it was for the kids to watch a pile of their old region 1 discs. Seems okay otherwise, basic dvd player.

Got this to replace a Dell 22" TFT which had been my first widescreen monitor. I thought the Dell had been spot on but on connecting this Acer I could not believe the difference. Despite both monitors being the same resolution, the Acer screen appears much smoother with better contrast. The colours are superb and there are settings for Text, Pictures, Movies etc to choose from.
The surround looks stunning and I like the small footprint of the stand. You need to be aware this has a glossy screen and reflections may be an issue for some however it does make images look far better.
Although the model number shown on this item page does not have the D at the end indicating a DVI connection it does in fact come with a DVI socket.
