I dithered for a long time trying to choose a 40" TV. Couldn't decide between Panasonic Plasma or Sony LCD. In the end my dithering paid off as the price has dropped by over £400.
I bought the Sony in the end and I'm extremely pleased with it. I'm mainly using it for Sky (SD) but even on Freeview through the built in tuner it has a great picture (so long as you don't sit right in front of the screen) much better than any Freeview picture I have seen...very little Pixilation even on fast moving stuff like football.
Haven't tried any HD sources yet but upscaled DVDs look very rich.
I'm slightly disappointed by the sound....doesn't have the punch of my Toshiba LCD so at some stage I may consider surround ... Read More:

It takes a bit of cheek to charge even three quid for this. Using it to connect my PC to my LCD monitor produces a picture with the worst ghosting I've ever seen. Jiggling the cable about, switching off nearby appliances, offering sacrifices to Greek gods, none help.
The trouble is, every cable on the market seems to have at least one bad review attached to it, so it's hard to know which to buy. Whatever the answer, it isn't this.

Using this neat and very well priced gizmo I can now (to the annoyance of my partner) change Sky HD channels from a different room. My full setup allowed for a new coax cable (CT100) to be run from the Sky HD box to the second TV which has proved flawless in operation. It is not routed through any other equipment and doesn't have to be plugged into the second TV aerial output (main picture and sound is through a seperate HD lead) - thus freeing this outlet up for the terrestial aerial input. You do have to follow the instruction as you must enable the output on the Sky box but in doing so product performed straight away.

Given that these surge protectors are available at nominal cost and will protect your potentially valuable electronic equipment in the event of a power spike, these items are an obvious purchase for every household. There's not really a lot more to say, except that the build quality of the power strip seems to be high. My only issue I have found is that I sometimes have difficulty persuading my PC to boot when it is powered via the surgemaster. The problem seems to be the initial high power drawer of my NVIDIA 8800 GT graphics card. Therefore I sometimes have problems persuading my PC to boot, but since I don't reboot very often it is not really much of an issue. It was puzzling for a while though, so bear this in mind if your PC has a high ... Read More:

Purchased this through ACS Media on Amazon.co.uk Marketplace and item arrived swiftly and in perfect condition.
I'm not that technically competent so a brief teething trouble (I had to disconnect my webcam to allow the turntable to be heard) was swiftly resolved with a quick call to the Ion tech helpdesk (although they're only open during office hours) who were excellent.
The software takes less than 30 seconds to install and is extremely simple to use. I've not had the need to try the advanced software as yet, but played back through iTunes it sounds great to me.
There are also leads to attach the turntable to your stereo so can use as a separate also for playing old vinyl records via an existing sound system. ... Read More:

I bought this product to allow me to use my xbox through my pc speakers and monitor and its great! For 1p you'd think you cant go wrong!
But do be advised that although the product is 1p, the p&p is about £5 - you may be able to get them cheaper from a local shop? I didnt look into it, cause im lazy and paid the price. in addition, i find the ports a little stiff so to speak, in agreement with another review, meaning you do have to give it a good push to get your jack in ;)
At the end of the day though, it does what it says, and now i can switch between xbox and 360 with ease, as well as have sound playing at the same time for both. YAY!

This is absolutely amazing!
I've always considered myself as a "sensible Audiophile", in the sense that I wouldn't class the most expensive equipment as being the best by any means.
This just proves this. It proves it so well.
I have Rockbox installed on my iPod, listening to a HD Audio File (FLAC, not ALAC). This is phenominal. I can hear so clearly, the vocals, the instrumentals.. It's just mind boggling.
For the price, I would highly recommend this, words just cannot explain the sheer ecstacy my ears are recieving at this moment.

Few months ago I saw this at Aldi shope and bought a pair for 7.00+ and it worked fantastic. I gave this to a friend in Sri Lanka on return from my holiday four months ago and he still enjoys it.
I bought a set at Asda recently only to find that the cost was only 99p. I thought they made a mistake. Came home and tried speakers after about two days. My laptop speaker is much, much better and I had lost the receipt by then.
