It has actually made me want to cancel my subscription, as in fact , nearly all the reviews this month are pretty useless, especially when it comes to reporting technical capabilities - take the new 5* Sony LCD - what really do you learn about the set from the review - you would of thought they would mention if it could take a 1080P feed and how it performs here - makes me think maybe they never got round to actually testing the kit and just made up an add-hoc review to get it in!!!
[rant]There was one review in a magazine (I can't remember for definate which one but I think it was a "What Plasma" magazine) about two years back that did a group test of LCD's. They gave the winner of the group test to a Sony and feature checked its HDMI connector even though it did not have one and missed DVI connections off other displays even though they did. I can't see how they could actually have performed any of the tests as the particular model that they had previously 'tested' and photographed (as with all available Sony's at that time so it was not a case of mistaken identity) did not have any form of digital video connection what so ever, let alone HDMI as in the feature list. Maybe the review was not even proof read which is even more of a cardinal sin. So the very thing, HD connectivity put it as a front runner and ultimately a winner of the group test was not even a full feature - component only HD video.
Previous months review Group test conclusion [/rant]
As a result, I take magazine reviews with a pinch of salt.
