Latest Review of the 42 Inch LG's 42LG70YD

If you are viewing from a blu-ray source then this tv is described as "awesome" by the reviewer.

clipped from www.gizmodo.com.au Review: LG's 42LG70YD 42-Inch LCD TV If I were to try and sum up the LG 42LG70YD LCD TV in one word, I'd be torn between choosing either the word "average" or the word "awesome". Which one describes the TV best really depends on the quality of the content you're feeding it... That statement is true of any TV, of course, but with the 42LG70YD, it's even more pertinent. Watching the SD digital channels through the built-in HD tuner isn't a pleasant experience. You can see the grain in the footage, motion staggers across the screen and any writing that happens to be on the display is jagged like the teeth of a mountain range. One other thing that bugged, although it wasn't the fault of LG, was the EPG - it took forever to update with current information - I gave up after five minutes waiting to find what was on Channel 7's HD channel. The FTA channels really need to sort that out.

In depth review of this 12 mega-pixel camera from Panasonic, click through to read the whole article

clipped from www.ephotozine.com Panasonic DMC-FX100 reviewed Digital Camera Review The headlines features of the FX100 are pretty impressive. You've got a whopping 12Mp resolution, a very handy 28mm wide angle lens, and a large 2.5in. screen on the back. And all crushed into a camera the size of a mobile phone. If only it could make the tea as well. The FX100 has a kind of Canon Ixus appeal to it, with the gun-metal grey barrel and it's one of Panasonic's nicest looking cameras with a large 2.5in. LCD and very flashy looking buttons on the back. On top of the good looks then, it packs 12Mp resolution inside and this can give some very detailed images. With good focussing and metering, plus easy-to-hand exposure compensation and scene modes, it's possible to get some very nice, detailed images.
