Nurvo Horizon tablet review - price, features and specifications of the cheap 7-inch Android tablet with All winner A13 processor
Nurvo Horizon cheap 7-inch Android tablet review
Nurvo Horizon has been on the market for quite some time and it is now one of the most popular cheap Android tablets with All winner A13 processor.
This 7-inch version of the Nurvo Horizon has pretty basic specs and will not impress with performance but it is budget-friendly device so we can't expect any cutting edge technology.
Probably the biggest drawback of most cheap Android tablets is the volume of their RAM memory. The Nurvo Horizon has the same problem with its 512MB of RAM. And though the single-core 1.2 GHz All winner A13 processor performs pretty well it can't make up for the lack of physical memory.
Here are the basic specs of the 7-inch Nurvo Horizon tablet:
Plays AVI,RM/ RMVB,FLV,MPG4 - 1,MPEG – 2 video format files
Plays MP3,WMA,AAC,AC3,WAV audio format files
Picture browsing of JPEG,BMP,GIF,PNG,TIFF format files
As you can see it is all pretty basic but that is what you get for the price of £50 (it is cheap, isn't it).
I myself wouldn't invest in such outdated device no matter how cheap it is and if you feel the same way you can take a look at some of the more capable Nurvo tablets - Nurvo Horizon 10.1 and Nurvo Horizon II.
Price, features, specs and review of the 42-inch Full HD Smart LED TV Samsung UE42F5700
Samsung UE42F5700 42-inch Full HD Smart LED TV review
Samsung UE42F5700 review - here is another one of the latest Samsung LED TVs and this 42-inch Full HD LED TV is definitely worth taking a look.
Though the UE42F5700 offers plenty of interesting and useful features in is not part of Samsung's high-end TVs. This more of budget friendly 42-inch TV with exceptional picture quality and Smart TV functions.
Design
Samsung UE42F5700 is a nice and stylish looking TV with very good build quality and is part of Samsung's One Design series. It is made of hard plastics and some metal finish on the stand. The frame is quite thin and doesn't ruin the compact dimensions of the TV - 97.18 x 57.69 x 4.94 cm. The panel itself is quite thin and will fit in most tight spaces.
Picture quality
Samsung UE42F5700 offers very good Full HD 1080p picture quality and watching movies in 1920 x 1080 resolution is a real pleasure. Samsung is using few of their clever technologies for improving the overall quality of the images - HyperReal Engine, Wide Color Enhancer Plus, 100 Clear Motion Rate are all available in the UE42F5700.
Smart TV
Samsung UE42F5700 is a Smart TV 2.0 with Smart Interaction 2.0 apps. I myself have tried plenty of different Smart TV interfaces from LG, Sony and many other brands but Samsung offers probably the most intuitive user interface for their Smart TV functions. Connecting to the Internet apps is quite easy thanks to the built-in WiFi adapter and WiFi Direct function.
Connection
You can rely on plenty of different connection options in the Samsung UE42F5700 TV. Ports and interfaces like 3x HDMI, LAN, 2x USB (with media player and USB HID), SCART, component and composite, CI, IR out and headphone jack are all available. There is also a very useful function called AllShare which allows you to share content or get mirror view of a screen.
Price
Samsung UE42F5700 is offered for around 650 Euro and it is a fair price considering the features and specs this TV has.

Price, specifications and review of the 55-inch 3D Smart TV Sony KDL-55W805
Sony KDL-55W805 55-inch Full HD 3D TV
Sony KDL-55W805 review - today at our Test and Review blog we are going to take a look at one big TV. And what a TV that is... Sony KDL-55W805 is a 55-inch Full HD 3D Smart TV.
Here are its main features and specs:
TV type: Full HD 1080P Smart LED TV
3D: Passive
Motionflow XR 400hz
Sense of Quartz Design
Clear Phase Speakers
Freeview HD
Over 1000000:1 Contrast Ratio

And that is just a small part of what the 55-inch Sony KDL-55W805 has to offer. It has great Smart TV features, amazing 3D sound and plenty of connection options (fully equipped with ports and interfaces).
Price
Sony KDL-55W805 is pretty expensive but we wouldn't expect anything different for a fully equipped 55-inch 3D LED TV. It costs around 2000 Euro (£1,500 in UK)
With the big screen and all the extras Sony KDL-55W805 is probably the perfect TV for home cinema but in case it is above your budget you can take a look at the Sony Bravia KDL-42W805 and the LG 42LA691S.
Price and specifications of the cheap 7-inch Android tablet Ematic Genesis EGL26BL
Ematic Genesis EGL26BL tablet review
Ematic Genesis review - this cheap 7-inch Google Android 4.0 tablet probably has the biggest discount at eBay these days - 78% from $250 to $55 now (for manufacturer refurbished). I honestly don't think that this tablet even deserves a $250 price tag and I will explain why in a while.
But first lets take a look at the main features and specifications of the 7-inch Ematic Genesis.
It is powered by 1.2GHz singe-core processor and has just 512MB of RAM which is quite not enough for a modern tablet. I would rather pay $5-10 more and get cheap tablet with at least 1GB of DDR3 RAM rather than save some money and look at my tablet struggle with every application different than calculator.
The 7-inch capacitive touch-screen display of the Ematic Genesis EGL26BL has resolution of 800x480 and will not impress you neither with vivid colors nor with pinpoint accuracy.
The space for storage in this tablet is 4GB and you can add more with additional microSD card or just use the 5GB cloud storage option that is offered with the tablet
As for the connectivity options, you can rely on WiFi and micro USB.
One of the surprising features included in the Ematic Genesis EGL26BL is the front-facing camera (many cheap tablet manufacturers just skip this part).
As you can see the Ematic Genesis has pretty average specs even for a cheap tablet and that is the reason I think it was never worth $250.
