At first sight, the Philips 230E1 looks as if it is a clone of the 230C1. Both these screens are 23 inch full HD with HDMI, DVI and VGA sockets. The main difference between the two models is panel responsiveness. Philips rates the 230E1 at 5 ms and the 230C1 at 2 ms. Both have the same 2 x 2 watt speakers. If you don’t like the sound, Philips also gives the option of plugging in some headphones or a speaker kit just above the built-in speakers.

As far as appearance goes it has the same black glossy bezel and chrome base. The speakers have been placed behind a grey band that runs under the bezel. As usual, Philips includes its 1 port USB hub. We would have liked to see a second but even this is useful for, say, connecting your USB key directly to the screen rather than having to reach behind your PC. All in all, it looks pretty good on your desk. Its main default remains its base. No pivot mode, nor vertical adjustment.

Philips 230C1 0 comments

Philips is back with a 23 inch 2 ms full HD screen, that includes DVI, VGA and HDMI sockets as well as a pair of 2 x 2 watt speakers. Nice looking and reasonably priced, it's well worth a look.

It is similarly designed to the 220CW9, with a glossy black bezel and base socket and a grey metalic base. The bezel is underlain with a grey bar to disguise the speakers and gives it a very nice finish. Philips has again included a 1 port USB hub. The base is the 230C1’s weak point. The panel can only be tilted a few degrees and there's no pivot mode or even any way of adjusting it vertically. If the sound quality given by the built-in speakers isn’t what you’d like, there’s a headphones socket just under the speaker bar.

Sony Vaio TZ 0 comments

It's obvious that the Vaio TZ from Sony has been designed from the ground up with 100% mobility in mind. It looks stunning in its carbon fiber casing and remarkably thin design, and with up to eight hours of battery life, there is very little that discerning road warriors won't appreciate about the TZ.

Sony New Mobile Looks Kinda Like An Envelope 0 comments

There have been leaks and rumors about the strange new product, labeled "Sony New Mobile". It's now looking like a more and more official thing as Sony revs up for CES 2009 in January.

We're not sure exactly how it's going to work, but it certainly looks different. Sony's possibly-netbook-thingy is far wider than it is deep, and quite thin, appearing to fit into a woman's handbag in this promotional video. They also have an image of it morphing into an envelope, which we swear we hadn't seen before we came up with our title.

What will this new computer be? All we know so far is that it's got good wireless connectivity and is small enough to compete with netbooks (oops, should we not be saying that word?), which opens the door wide open for speculation. Other specs are very hard to come by, but it better be something interesting to go along with its unique shape. We'll all find out on January 9.

The good: Produces relatively deep black levels; accurate color; very good dejudder processing; sleek styling with 1.2-inch thick panel; extensive feature set with Yahoo widgets, network streaming, and a lot of built-in content; extremely energy-efficient.

The bad: Expensive; less-uniform screen than other LCDs; poor off-angle viewing; backlight fluctuates with program brightness; dark areas tinged bluer; shiny screen can cause reflections in bright rooms; red frame isn't for everyone.

The bottom line: Although its picture quality can't quite live up to the high price, the Samsung UNB7000 series is a technological and design tour de force.

The good: Deep blacks and detailed shadows for an LCD; three component-video inputs; slick styling.

The bad: Expensive; poor color decoding with heavy red push; only one HDMI input.

The bottom line: While not quite as good for home theater as the best plasmas, the expensive Sony Bravia KDL-V40XBR1 puts on a pretty face and delivers an impressive picture.
