Samsung UE55F6400 55-inch 3D Smart LED TV review

Samsung UE55F6400 55-inch 3D Full HD Smart LED TV price, features and specifications

Samsung UE55F6400 review
Samsung UE55F6400 55-inch 3D Full HD Smart LED TV

Samsung UE55F6400 is a premium 55-inch 3D Full HD Smart LED TV which offers some of the latest features and technology at a very reasonable price. And though this is not the most expensive Samsung TV of this size it probably offers the best value for money ratio for those searching for a big screen TV. 

Samsung UE55F6400 is a stylish looking TV with the typical design features from the F6400 series and the One Design series. I myself am not big fan of the looks of these TVs because of the combination of shiny metal stand with black gloss frame of the panel. The frame itself is quite thin and makes the UE55F6400 look smaller than other 55-inch LED TVs. 
Samsung UE55F6400 measures 125.04 x 72.46 x 4.88 cm and weighs around 16.8 kg without the stand.

Philips 40PFL3008H 40-inch Full HD LED TV

Philips 40PFL3008H 40-inch Full HD LED TV price, specifications and review

Philips 40PFL3008H review
Philips 40PFL3008H
Philips 40PFL3008H review - this affordable 40-inch Full HD LED TV is perfect for those searching for big screen with good picture quality but want to stay low on the budget. 

Design
Philips 40PFL3008H won't impress you with looks, it is entirely made of black shiny plastics (which I don't like at all) and is neither the thinnest or the lightest of the TVs in this segment. It measures 93 x 55.4 x 7.7 cm       without the stand and weighs around 8 kg. The build quality is on a good level. 

Features
Philips 40PFL3008H doesn't offer any 3D or Smart TV features but that is quite normal considering the fact Philips wanted to keep the low price tag. Philips 40PFL3008H offers good quality Full HD 1080p picture with maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. This TV has brightness of 300 cd/m² and 100 000 : 1 dynamic contrast. Philips is also using their Digital Crystal Clear and 100 Hz Perfect Motion Rate technologies for improving the overall performance and picture quality of the  40PFL3008H. 

Sound
The sound in the Philips 40PFL3008H is provided by 2x 8W stereo speakers with Clear Sound and Incredible Surround. 

Connections
2x HDMI
SCART
AV
USB
 IEC75 antenna
CI+
VGA
Optical audio
3.5 mm headphone jack

Price
Philips 40PFL3008H is offered for around 400 Euro ($550) which makes it one of the most affordable TVs in the 40-inch Full HD LED TV class.

I would also recommend you two other affordable 40-inch LED TVs - Samsung UE40EH5000K and Finlux 40F6050.

Head YOUTEK Graphene Speed S tennis racket review

Head YOUTEK Graphene Speed S is currently one of my favorite rackets and that is why I decided to make this quick review of the racket. Actually if I had to replace my Head Ti S1 it would be either with the Head YOUTEK IG Speed Elite or with the  YOUTEK Graphene Speed S.


Head YOUTEK Graphene Speed S
Head YOUTEK Graphene Speed S tennis racket

Head YOUTEK Graphene Speed S has a headsize of 100 square inches and weighs just 285 grams (300 grams with strings). This makes it perfect for advanced players who like the power and control of a premium professional racket but want a lighter, more maneuverable frame. The YOUTEK Graphene Speed S will suit to most women tennis players.

LG 42LN5700 42-inch Full HD Smart LED TV
LG 42LN5700 TV - our consumer opinion

LG 42LN5700 review - in case you are in the search of affordable 42-inch Full HD Smart LED TV than you may consider the LG 42LN5700 as one of the best choices matching those requirements.  It delivers very good picture quality and Smart TV functions and is offered at a very reasonable price.

Looks
LG 42LN5700 is a simple looking TV with typical LG design. Its frame is decided entirely in black and is made of plastics. The frame thickness of the panel is relatively small and the panel itself is quite slim. As an entry level 42-inch TV the LG 42LN5700 won't impress anyone with design but its sample looks will suit most customers.

Sony KDL-55W900A Internet TV
Sony KDL-55W900A Internet TV


Sony KDL-55W900A review - this 55-inch TV is probably the best we have reviewed so far. There is nothing ordinary in the Sony KDL-55W900A Internet TV and everything is on the highest possible level. Of course this exceptional quality comes at pretty high price but when we are talking about such high-end tech devices price is not that important.

Probably the most important technology in this amazing TV is the TRILUMINOS display technology. It makes colors look incredibly true and natural, unlike any other TV on the market today.

Samsung UE32F5500 32-inch Smart LED TV specs and review

Samsung UE32F5500 32-inch Smart LED TV price, specifications and review

Samsung UE32F5500 TV
Samsung UE32F5500
In today's review we are taking a closer look at the Samsung UE32F5500 which is one of the latest 32-inch Full HD LED TVs by the world's largest TV manufacturer. It is one of the most affordable panels from Samsung's 5500 series. We can say the UN32F5500 is the cheaper version of the Samsung UE32F6400 which is pretty much the same TV but with 3D included.


The UE32F5500 is part of Samsung's One Design series which emphasis on thin panels with small frames and elegant stand. The overall impression from the build quality is pretty good as well but remember this is an entry level Samsung TV so you can find better quality out there (for more money of course). 
Samsung UN32F5500 is a Full HD 1080p TV with maximum display resolution of  1920 x 1080.
For improving the picture quality Samsung is using some key technologies like the popular HyperReal Engine, Mega Contrast, Wide Color Enhancer (Plus) and CMR 100 (Clear Motion Rate).


Connectivity and Smart TV

Samsung UE32F5500 also offers a wide variety of Smart TV functions and with the help of the built-in WiFi connection you can easily connect to the Internet and use some of the apps from the Smart Hub or watch some shows through On TV which is available in 17 EU countries.
The sound produced by the two 10W speakers of the UE32F5500 is good but I myself would definitely use external sound / speakers with this TV. Dolby Digital Plus / Dolby Pulse, DTS Studio Sound and DTS Premium Audio 5.1 are supported by the Samsung UE32F5500.
Samsung UE32F5500 is equipped with plenty of connection options like Component In (Y / Pb / Pr), Composite In (AV), Digital Audio out (Optical), Ethernet (LAN), 3x HDMI RF In, 2x USB, Headphone jack, Scart, CI Slot and IR out.

Of course the UE32F5500 has both Analogue and Digital (Freeview) tuners.

Price

Finally it is time to talk about the price of the Samsung UE32F5500 which I think is a competitive one - around £340. Within this price range you can also buy LG 32LN575S or Sony Bravia KDL-32R420A which have similar specs and performance. Probably the Sony offers the best picture quality from those three   and the LG is the best overall package but in case you like Samsung than the UE32F5500 would be the perfect choice for you.

Sanei N10 is high-end cheap Android tablet with dual-core / quad-core processor and plenty of useful features.

Sanei N10 is very well equipped tablet, with quality hardware and very nice 10.1-inch IPS display. You can also find this tablet with the name Ampe A10 which exactly the same device. The confusing part of all this is the fact that these tablets are offered with different hardware specifications like different processors and different memory volume.

Sony Bravia KDL-32W650 32-inch Full HD Smart LED TV


Sony Bravia KDL-32W650 / KDL-32W650A review - here is another quality Full HD LED TV from Sony, the KDL-32W650 has pleasant design and offers great picture quality and Smart TV functions.
Actually this is the successor of the popular Sony Bravia KDL-32EX650 which was one of our top choices for best 32-inch Full HD TVs.

Design

That is definitely one of the best looking 32-inch LED TVs on the market today. Sony Bravia KDL-32W650 is extremely thin and almost frameless.  Its stylish chrome/metal stand keeps it solid on place and also gives it a premium look and feel. Sony Bravia KDL-32W650 dimensions are: 72.5 x 43.8 x 6.9 (1.58) cm and it weighs around 6.8 kg (without stand). The overall impressions of the looks and feel of this TV are very good.

Technology

Sony Bravia KDL-32W650 offers great Full HD 1080p picture thanks to some advanced technologies like the Motionflow XR 200 Hz, Advanced Contrast Enhancer and X-Reality PRO.

Sony is also using their Live Colour and Deep Colour technologies for improving the colors and overall picture quality of the KDL-32W650.
Sony Bravia KDL-32W650 is also a Smart TV with built in WiFi (with WiFi Direct function) and plenty of useful applications like open web browser, Skype and other social apps.

Connectivity

Sony Bravia KDL-32W650 is pretty well equipped with connection options,something typical for most Sony Bravia TVs. This one has 2x HDMI, SCART in, SCART out, USB, Ethernet, PCMCIA, analogue audio in, audio out, optical audio out and D-Sub with Stereo Mini for connection with PC. Actually this is the best connectivity equipped TV in this class so this is a big advantage for the KDL-32W650 against the competition from LG and Samsung.

Sound

The 2x 5W speakers of the Sony Bravia KDL-32W650 are Bass Reflex Box type and produce good quality sound but unfortunately the are not very loud (you would probably be better with external sound for listening music). There are few sound modes to choose from - Standard, Cinema, Sport, Music, Game and compressed audio. Sony Bravia KDL-32W650 also supports S-Force Front Surround 3D and Dolby Digital / Dolby Digital Plus / Dolby Pulse.

Price

Sony Bravia KDL-32W650 is not the cheapest in the 32-inch Full HD Smart LED TV segment but it is definitely worth the money. You can find it for around 500 Euro which is a pretty good price for a quality LED panel like this one.
In case you want the same specifications but bigger size TV you can take a look at the 42-inch Sony Bravia KDL-42W650.

Wenger quality Swiss backpack is made in China

Wenger Swiss backpack price and quick review - why I think it is one of the best consumer backpacks on the market

Wenger Swiss backpack
Wenger quality Swiss backpack

You have probably heard about the Swiss brand Wenger and the quality products they are making. There was a huge discount campaign for selected Wenger suitcases and backpacks in the local store so I decided to take advantage of the low prices and bought myself a nice backpack.

Of course I was a bit disappointed when I saw the 'made in China' line on the tag because Wenger products are actively advertised as Swiss products and one would think quality Swiss product should be made in Switzerland not anywhere else. 

But I also know that almost all of the big manufacturers (worldwide) are outsourcing their businesses in China and that the Chinese can make some really quality products when they want to. That is why I decided it is worth the 18 Euro and bought the backpack.

GoClever Tab R105BK Android tablet review

Price, specifications and review of the 10.1-inch Android tablet with keyboard GoClever Tab R105BK

GoClever Tab R105BK
GoClever Tab R105BK

GoClever Tab R105BK review - the first thing you will probably notice in this affordable 10.1-inch Google Android tablet is the fact that it comes with keyboard as standard. Most tablet manufacturers prefer to have the keyboard as an accessory for which you have to pay extra. 
But it is not only the keyboard that impresses in the GoClever Tab R105BK tablet. It is one pretty well equipped tablet with very good hardware and low price tag. 

Display
The 10.1-inch capacitive IPS LCD display of the GoClever Tab R105BK is also LED backlit and supports 10-point multi-touch. It is a high resolution (1280x800 HD resolution) display with 16-bit colors and it is probably one of the best screens in this price segment. 

Hardware
GoClever Tab R105BK is a very capable tablet thanks to its good hardware. This tablet is powered by dual-core ARM Cortex A9 1.50GHz processor and quad-core Mali400MP4 GPU for better graphics acceleration. GoClever Tab R105BK also comes with 1GB of DDR3 RAM and 8 GB MLC NAND flash available for storage. You can expand the storage space with additional micro SD cards (up to 32GB).

Connectivity
GoClever Tab R105BK has Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth 4.0 build-in but unfortunately 3G and GPS are not among the list of connection options in this tablet. What you also get is mini HDMI (with Full HD playback support), headphone jack and microUSB 2.0 OTG. 

Extra features
GoClever Tab R105BK has two cameras on board - one 0.3 MP front-facing camera and another 2.0 MP rear camera. The tablet also has G sensor and comes with pair of headphones and keyboard in the box. 

Battery
GoClever Tab R105BK relies on 6200mAh li-pol battery which lasts around 6 hours of work before it needs recharging. 

OS
GoClever Tab R105BK comes with Android 4.1 operating system which works just perfect with the provided hardware. 

Tablet dimensions - 266 x 175 x 9 mm
Weight - 0.614 kg

Price
GoClever Tab R105BK costs around 200 Euro (£170 in UK).

Verdict
GoClever Tab R105BK is a very good tablet for the money, with great IPS display and pretty fast hardware. Probably the only thing missing is the 3G connectivity but that is a small drawback when you consider the low price of this very capable 10.1-inch Android tablet.
