Review: Panasonic TX-L26X10B | Posted on: 22/06/2009 @ 10:32
The TX-26X10B HD Ready panel is not exactly the most attractive one around, but it does boast the piano black frame that's so popular on current TV ranges, along with the manufacturer's reassuringly sturdy build quality. And while this model lacks most of the features found on Panasonic's more highly specified versions, it certainly offers some very strong selling points. The dynamic contrast ...
Review: Panasonic TX-L37S10 | Posted on: 22/06/2009 @ 9:40
Panasonic considers the L37S10B an 'entry-level' LCD TV, and so it's clearly unrealistic to expect it to blow our socks off. But even so, we have to admit to finding this set just a bit disappointing. A general feeling of indifference towards it begins almost right away, as we clock its bland design. Things pick up momentarily when we spot a solid three HDMIs, a PC and SD card slot among its ...

Either way, this slim, compact unit is comfortable to hold and pleasingly light, even with the ...

Review: Panasonic HDC-HS200 | Posted on: 20/06/2009 @ 11:00
The HS200 is something of a pocket battleship in that it packs a lot of top-end technology into a small and practical frame. Both video and stills can be stored on a decent-sized 80GB hard disk along with multichannel audio. Full HD video resolution is offered while stills are captured at over 10MP. A good-sized f1.8 lens extends to a respectable 10x optically and there's a flash alongside it. A ...

If you\'ve ever visited Benchmark Reviews in the past, you\'ve probably noticed that we\'ve tested a large collection of NAS products.
