Philips PET723 Portable DVD Player Review
Combining a portable DVD player with a digital photo frames sounds like a neat idea. But the two aren’t the best of bedfellows, especially when you equip them with a low-resolution screen.

Sunbrite’s 46 inch 1080p full-HD outdoor TV Review
This isn’t the first outdoor TV we’ve covered - and it’s unlikely to be the last.
