My Toshiba 32WL56 has only one HDMI port, which is already used by the Sky HD Box. I want to buy an upscaling DVD player to get the best out of my collection, do they need an HDMI port or can I use the Scart? If I can’t, is it possible to plug two HDMI …

If you want a new television and have some money left over after the government has finished taxing you, may we suggest a shiny new model from Samsung? The LE46M87 is from a range it ambiguously calls ‘Bordeaux’. We’ve licked it, and it doesn’t taste anything like wine. If anything, it was a little salty. The M87 TVs are really …

So you’ve got a 50-inch plasma in the lounge, a 32-inch LCD in the bedroom and a waterproof TV in the bathroom. That only leaves the kitchen devoid of entertainment. No need to panic, though — Bush has released what could well be the smallest HD Ready television your money can buy. The catchily named LCD15W08DVDHD has a 15.4-inch widescreen …

I keep looking to make the jump to a new TV, yet every time I look at them the standard Freeview picture is poor in comparison to my five-year-old Toshiba 32ZP18 TV. Are there any LCD/plasma televisions that can match my current TV for standard definition material to make my ‘jump’ worthwhile, especially given that the majority of content is still standard definition? Lee Graham You’ve just asked …

Do you remember the TV you had in the 70s? We’re prepared to bet that if you do, you’ll also remember that it had a sort of plastic wood veneer finish. Well, HANNspree, famous for its adorable fluffy TVs, has decided to throw the LCD kicking and screaming back into the 70s. Perhaps it’s watched a little bit too much …

Panasonic doesn’t much care for LCD. It’s often telling us how much better plasma is than the liquid crystal displays of other manufacturers. But you have to admire Panny — even though it thinks the technology is inferior, it still produces great televisions using it. The Viera TX-32LMD70 is one such success story — it has made Crave froth with a …

The first thing that struck us when we got the Evesham Alqemi 32SX out of its box this morning is how good looking it is, especially for a budget television. Finished in the same glossy black as televisions costing twice as much, it’s hard to fault the styling. Sadly, the elegant design doesn’t go as far as the remote control, …

When the LG Super Multi Blue player was announced at CES this year there was much excitement from the gathered technological masses. A high-definition player that can cope with both HD DVD and Blu-ray — “W00t,” we thought, and even said it out loud (when no-one was in earshot). And now, after much waiting, the BH100 has arrived and LG …

Change can be a scary thing. Crave still remembers its first day at gadget school. It was scary and we missed our mum. Changing televisions is just as daunting: your trusty old screen discarded like yesterday’s paper and a new upstart put in its place. The good news is Toshiba doesn’t want to scare you, it wants to help — …

If you can’t get, or don’t want, full cable TV, Virgin Media would still like to get some money off you. Surely that’s the dream of every company, isn’t it? So how does Virgin persuade people to hand over money without getting anything in return? Offer them something ‘free’ that actually turns out to cost quite a lot of money, …
