LG’s ‘Scarlet’ range of televisions are causing quite a buzz. Is it the massive marketing campaign? Is it the intrusive red colour that the back of the TV is finished in? Could it in fact be the glowing red/white hole on the front of the TV? Whatever it is, people want to know about this …

If you’ve been tramping around the Internet much recently you will almost certainly have seen adverts about a hit new TV show called Scarlet. It turns out that there was no hit show at all, and it was all a big publicity stunt for a new LG TV ‘series’ (meaning range) called Scarlet. There was even a party at some …

After something of a wait, Philips’ new range of LCDs are finally hitting the shores of our fair island (Holland is a long way away… oh) and bring with them an intriguing range of features that build on the success of Philips’ previous Ambilight tellies. The range is made up of four models, starting with the 32-inch 32PFL7603D. It’s a …

Are you looking for a way of recording television or watching video you’ve downloaded from the Internet? disgo thinks it’s got the ideal product for you, the Media Bank. There’s only one problem: it’s standard definition, and that upsets us. So, what does the disgo Media Bank do? Well, first off, you can connect it to your computer over USB2 …

In Japan, Hitachi’s range of ultra-thin TVs are known as ‘Wooo’, which is pretty vanilla from the country that brought us the Nintendo Wii and tentacle-based pornography. Name aside, we’ve been excited about the inch-and-a-half-thick Hitachis since we first saw them at CES 2008, so when the company offered to let us get our sweaty hands on the 42-inch model …

Crave officially loves Will Smith. Our MP3 man Nate Lanxon loves him so much he actually claims to have previously been him. No, we don’t know what that means either. But as you can imagine, when Sony sent us Men in Black on Blu-ray, we were delighted. And not only because we got to watch the Family Guy parody of …

You know how rubbish TV can be, right? If you think you can do better, now’s your chance — Ofcom has announced that it’s finally putting the analogue TV spectrum up for sale. We’ve known about this for some time now, but we’re only now learning about dates and how much is available. There’s 128MHz on offer, and each individual …

Not so long ago, Panasonic was telling us all that plasma was the future and we’d do well to remember that. The problem for Panny is that as good as plasma is for honking great TVs, it’s utterly hopeless for smaller screens. As the most popular screen sizes these days hover around the 32- and 37-inch marks, this year Panasonic …

In 2005, a 36-inch widescreen CRT was considered huge. Quite right too — it weighed over a metric tonne and needed specially re-enforced furniture to squat on. Just three years on, and comparatively massive TVs, that just a few years ago would have been a logistical impossibility, are now ten a penny. Even so, a 52-incher is something special, and …

We love Freeview’s marvellous combination of choice and freeness, but even your old gran can see its picture quality is a long, long way from high definition. So when the Philips DVDR5520H arrived at Crave in a box emblazoned with the phrase, “Watch Freeview in 1080p HD quality”, we expected its next trick to be turning on the tap and …
