If you're buying a flat screen TV, some marketing tactics when it comes to 1080p and 720p can be deceptive. Here's what you need to know

Not as capable as we’d have expected. You can do better for this money

It's a sign of the times when Compaq's Aero 8000 runs Windows CE in a box bigger than a Sharp PC-A250 (reviewed issue 23, p86) running Windows 98. So what's the big idea? Windows CE uses no moving parts, while software in ROM means immediate start-up times, high reliability, and long battery life all highly desirable qualities in a portable.

The Sim2’s pictures are a thrill in every way – if $13,000's your limit, it’s the prime candidate

Superb print quality at consistently high speeds, and it’s packed with useful features too.

Beautiful, ultra-compact, super-slick and friendly to use, plus great quality. A winning combination from Canon.

The Sony bandwagon rolls on; this is another simple to use set that produces brilliant big-screen images

We think this TV is a real bargain - a good few quid cheaper than comparable models and every bit as impressive

The E-510 has a barrowful of features and is a joy to use but we miss the size and convenience of the cheaper E-410

The second most expensive printer to purchase, Epson’s C900 outlay cost is quite high given its fairly low quality results; as a consequence, this printer’s value rating suffers.

Over 60 new tracks plus more to download means our love affair with Guitar Hero continues. It’s only rock ‘n’ roll but we like it – a lot

Still a great looking camera that's foolproof to use, but Wi-Fi's now only half the feature it was

Forget the low-ish pixel-count, this camera has the lot: handling, features and image quality. Add that to the high-powered battery, good for a claimed 2000 shots, and you have a real belter
