| 2013: TV Gets Sharper, Smarter And More Local |
| Ultra HD is a phrase we’ll be hearing a lot of in the next 12 months and beyond. The first compatible TVs are now on sale and while price tags north of $30,000 put them out of the reach of all but the most flush of early adopters, Astra has announced it is set to launch a 4K demo channel next year for those with PCs powerful enough to watch it on. |

| PSB M4U 2 Headphones |
| They might be full-sized but the PSBs never feel heavy on the ears thanks to the gyro suspended ear cups and adjustable headband giving you a perfect fit every time you claim it back from that friend who suddenly seems to have developed a taste for the finer things in life. And of course, good music. |

| Razer Edge Pro - The Gaming PC That’s A Tablet |
| A grand for a tablet? You’d have to be the guitarist from U2 to afford one! But unlike U2, the Edge Pro justifies itself. There’s a gamepad controller, a keyboard dock turns it into a desktop, or a docking station and controllers turn it into a console ideal for Steam’s Big Picture. |
|
| Razer Sabertooth Elite Xbox 360 Controller |
| The Sabertooth isn’t Razer’s first stab at a gamepad last year’s pro-focused Onza pad included analogue sticks with adjustable torsion but the Sabertooth does something more. This time the focus is on extra buttons between two to six of the blighters and a pretty advanced on-pad system for customizing them. |

| Head To Head - Samsung 46ES7000 VS Sony KDL-46HX853 (Part 2) |
| There’s no shortage of content to choose from on both models with over 40 video apps on the Samsung and 45 on the Sony. Some of these are common to both smart TV platforms including popular ones such as iPlayer, BBC Sport, BBC News, YouTube, LoveFilm and Netflix. |
|
| Head To Head - Samsung 46ES7000 VS Sony KDL-46HX853 (Part 1) |
| Smart TV just hasn’t had the attention it deserves, possibly because it lacks that tangible wow factor and because early versions flattered to deceive, offering rather perfunctory services that weren’t that well implemented. They also suffered by comparison with the experience of accessing similar features on a computer via the internet. |
|
| Red Redray Player - Dedicated 4K Player |
| The Redray downloads the films you buy from Odemax to its 1TB hard drive (enough for about 100 hours of 4K, says RED) and will whack out 4K video at 60fps. You're not restricted to Odemax content, mind it'll also play from SD cards and USB drives, and upscale 720p or 1080p videos from those sources. |
|
| Oculus Rift - Virtual Reality Headset For 3D Games |
| Gaming is no stranger to vaporware - its 12 years on, and were still waiting for Elite 4. But even in an industry that fails to deliver more often than a courier navigating via Apple Maps, virtual reality stands out. From Nintendo's blurry Virtual Boy in the'90s to various nausea-inducing arcade machines of the '00s, VR has spawned more headaches than FIFA has sequels. |
|
| Get Yourself A Portable DAC |
| Computers and smartphones are the cornerstones of modern hi-fi, as fundamental to the digital music revolution as vinyl was to the Golden Age of Stereo. But then again, they’re still computers and therefore sonically compromised compared to a dedicated music player such as a stereo. |
|
| AR.Drone 2.0. Parrot New Wi-Fi Quadricopter |
| Parrot's AR.Drone 2.0 may well be the ultimate geek toy - a Wi-Fi-equipped, smartphone-controlled quadrocopter, with cameras that stream live video to your iOS or Android device's screen. The updated version even does acrobatics. You're totally going to flip... |

| Improve Your TV Sound |
| Plenty of TVs on the market have dazzling picture quality, but sound quality has suffered as TVs have become ever slimmer. There’s simply very little room for speakers inside a 1-to 2-inch-deep cabinet. |

| Sony KD-84X9005 - Sony’s First 4K TV |
| Picture quality is extraordinary. To access the screen with native 4K content we used a server pre-loaded with specially prepared content (currently there is no commercial 4K video to call upon). This comprised a variety of demo landscape footage, plus a sequence with the Berlin Philharmonic shot on Sony’s new F65 CineAlta 4K digital cinema camera. The TV literally provides an ultra-HD window on the world. |

| Group Test: Eight Panels Beyond HD (Part 7) : NEC PA271W |
| NEC’s displays have a fine reputation among professionals when it comes to image editing, with a focus on a wide color gamut and color accuracy, which are critical in such situations. They also tend to be eye-wateringly expensive as a result, and the NEC PA271Wisonesuch example. |
|
|
|
| Group Test: Eight Panels Beyond HD (Part 5) : DIGIMATE IPS-2701WPH |
| The screen’s plastic surround is, rather strangely lightly textured, but it’s also remarkably thin thanks to the use of an external power-brick, rather than the usual integrated power supply. You’ll need to find space for the adaptor, but at least you get a thin monitor back in return. |
|
| Group Test: Eight Panels Beyond HD (Part 4) : DELL U2913WM |
| Away from its unusual design, the U2913WM is as well-equipped as you’d expect for a high-end Dell panel. The stand is solid and reservedly styled, while allowing for a great degree of movement. There’s 128mm of vertical travel, as well as the ability to smoothly tilt and swivel, although not surprisingly for a panoramic display, there’s no option to rotate it into portrait mode. |
|
| Group Test: Eight Panels Beyond HD (Part 3) : DELL U2713H |
| There are plenty of extras hidden beneath the slim chassis too, not least the inclusion of four USB 3 ports (four downstream, one upstream), effectively making the U2713H a handy desktop USB3 hub. A9-in-1 card reader is also integrated into the chassis. |
|
| Group Test: Eight Panels Beyond HD (Part 2) : HAZRO HZ27WB |
| Given its size, we were surprised to see an external power brick too - these are normally reserved for super-budget monitors. It isn’t a deal-breaker, but you’ll need to find a home for one more adaptor, rather than just using a kettle lead. The HZ27WB also only features DVI-D inputs too, limiting use with consoles or other inputs out of the box. |
|
| Group Test: Eight Panels Beyond HD (Part 1) : ASUS PB278Q |
| The Asus PB278Q has fewer drawbacks than the Hazro HZ27WB, but this expected from a monitor that costs around $160 more. The extra stand adjustment is very welcome, and it performed well in our image quality tests, even if it didn’t set the world alight with its results. |

| Philips Hue - Color Your World |
| This domestic version of the Black pool illuminations is made possible by low-band-width ZigBee receivers fitted inside each of the kit’s staggeringly expensive bulbs. The app presents a wide choice of lighting presets, ranging from a simple Reading theme, which blasts white light at full glare, to more exotic choices such as the blue-tinged Ski and the orange-bathed Sunset. |
|
| Supertooth HD Voice - Cup On And Start Talking |

| BenQ GW2250 21.5 Widescreen LCD Monitor |
| BenQ's new 21.5in might look similar to other monitors available in the market, but it has many notable features. First, it retails at less than Rs 8,200 on the web. Secondly, its full HDVA panel with 1920x1080 resolution is a beauty as it provides a great response time. |
