BenQ T91W Reviews

The T91W is the latest LCD offering from the BenQ stables. It can be tilted up to 20° up and 5° down verti- cally, but it can’t be tilted horizontally. The three but-tons on the monitor take
care of all the functions, but they are placed behind the monitor—inconvenient. Furthermore, the buttons seem tacky, and are unre- sponsive at times. This 19-incher is sleek, and weighs just 4.8 kg. It has a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:10, and supports a native resolution of 1440 x 900— something movie buffs will love. With a fast response time of just 5 ms (millisec-onds) for grey-to-grey, this one will not disappoint gamers either; it is just as good for fast-paced gaming as your CRT. The T91W has an excel-lent contrast ratio of 700:1. The 300 cd/m2 brightness spec is more than enough. The backlight is placed evenly, so there are no bright / dark spots along the border. Colours are vibrant. It should be mentioned, though, that the LCD could not pro- duce the darkest regions as pure black, but it did fairly better than most of the LCDs we’ve tested. It has wide viewing angles of 160° for text and 150° for movies. Movies on this monitor are a treat; games look equally good. The black borders become inconspic-uous while viewing, adding to the immersive experience. VESA wall mounting is supported. Power consump- tion is 45 W at full load and 2 W in standby mode, meaning significant savings on your electricity bill. BenQ has put in a pair of speakers, though you might never want to use them—the quality of these is nothing that really deserves a men-tion. The sore point: a DVI connector is lacking. This will really be missed by videophiles who demand the purest of video sig-nals. In the final analysis, we think Rs 13,400 for the BenQ T91W is a little too much.

Mercury HT 5800R Home Theatre 5.1 Channel System Reviews

Though this 5.1 channel system has a 5,800 watts PMPO, it has only 25 watts RMS for the satel-lites and 50 watts RMS for the subwoofer. The RMS power gives you an idea about the actual sound output that the system can achieve without distortion, whereas the PM PO output indicates the maximum out-put achievable by the system, albeit with distortions. The wires are long enough,and speaker stands and wall mountings are provided as well. One shortcoming is the ridiculously short power sup-ply wire. The system provides good performance and at Rs 7,000, it offers good value for money. The subwoofer is quite powerful and you can crank up the volume with-out experiencing too much distortion. If you’re looking to own a 5.1 speaker sys-tem, but are constrained by your budget, the Mercury HT 5800R offers a decent enough solution. How- ever, if you cannot settle for anything less than perfectsound, give this one a miss... SPECIFICATIONS : Four satellites at 25 W RMS, one subwoofer at 50 W RMS, w...

Mercury HT-4500 Reviews

The HT-4500 is a 5.1-chan-nel speaker set and each of the five satellites pumps out 6 watts RMS, while the subwoofer is capable of 20 W RMS power output. The black satellite speakers are compact and subwoofer. Also, the cable for the front channel speakers isn’t long enough for the speakers to be placed suffi-ciently far apart. The cable connecting the woofer to the soundcard is of the same colour, which can cause some confusion. The speakers give a good surround sound effect with reasonable clarity for a good home theatre experience and can also be connected directly to a DVD player. The performance in the low and mid frequencies is also good. However, the speakers are not built to listen at full well-designed, though a tad heavy. The subwoofer has the volume and fade controls on the front, which makes it dif-ficult to access these settings, as subwoofers are generally placed near the feet, with the front face ideally facing a reflecting surface. Another inconvenience is the power swi...

Che-ez Spyz Digital Camera Reviews

Spyz is slightly larger than a matchbox and comes in sil-ver and metallic blue. It bun-dles a dog tag and an USB cable, but oddly, misses the battery. The software bundle comprises the Che-ez manag-er, Arcsoft Photo Studio 2000 and the driver CD. The manual explains fea-tures such as sound beeps, LED and LCD displays very neatly. The device can take up to 26 photos in the high-resolution mode of 640 x 480 pixels, and 107 photos in the low resolu-tion mode of 320 x 240 pixels. Other features include a timer and continuous capture that turns the camera into a cam-corder. The Che-ez Manager also lets you convert frames into a movie in AVI format. The Spyz can also act as a Web camera when used with the Che-ez Manager or MS Netmeeting. However, some-times the manager does not recognise shortcut keys such as the [Alt] + [F4] combination for closing the program. The interface is also very basic and below par. The price tag may justify all the features of the Spyz, but the management software...
