B&W Zeppelin review

Philips Fidelio DS9000 review
PC speakers TVs

Not quite as beautiful as the B&W Zeppelin, but audio quality is on a par. The only niggle is the lack of a bass control to tame the low frequencies.

BenQ V2410T review

Image quality is unremarkable, but the low power consumption and adjustable stand mean this 24in LED monitor is still a good choice for some.
