The brand and the price could prove this camera’s downfall. Who’d buy a Samsung when you can get Pentax for less?

A high-quality panel, but it lacks the finishing touches to make it a winner.

The future of storage is expensive, for now. That aside, how do Blu Ray drives compare to DVD drives?

A promising debut for UMPCs, but the controls are tricky to master

A 21" widescreen LCD that hits the sweet spot for gaming.

The SyncMaster 172X from Samsung was a bit of a powerhouse in our tests, scoring highly in all regards except one: surprisingly the monitor was a little over-saturated, meaning whites looked a little washed out, and this would not change regardless of how we tweaked and fiddled with the screen’s settings. However in day-to-day usage you’d barely notice this.

Samsung has produced a nice looking mini-cam with an unusual dual zoom system. One button for optical and another for the digital, which serves more to confuse than help.

A different screen to the rest on review in this category, the Samsung SyncMaster 172W doesn't have a 4:3 aspect ratio, but is instead a widescreen format display.

Although similar products have been available (with much controversy) in the US for a few years, the Samsung DVD-H40A is the first Personal Video Recorder (PVR) to reach our sunny shores.

It was a hard choice not to include this camera in the short list, especially considering the price. The 190MSi is a well-appointed handycam that uses a 0.8-megapixel CCD, 12x optical zoom and records still pictures. While the images weren't as good as those from the higher priced cameras, it performed well, and would make a great purchase.

Samsungs new entry into the laser printer market isnt as intimidating as its rough exterior looks.
