Samsung SyncMaster T220
The Samsung T220 might be the most stylish LCD monitor we've seen, but average feature set and performance diminish its overall appeal. Despite its flashy looks, it's best used as a simple, productivity display.

Samsung ML-2851ND
Small businesses should take a serious look at the Samsung ML-2851ND's monolaser because of its excellent print speed, text print quality, autoduplexer, and networking features. It's a little more expensive than the competition, but its chart-topping test results speak for themselves.

Dork Talk: Mark Lawson looks at Blu-ray options
Anyone making a BBC programme about the recent past, and needing to watch a video from the archive, has to find one of a group of special offices containing what's called "heritage technology": ie, a VCR. The possibility of the next generation of broadcast researchers having to seek out these cubbyholes that technology forgot if they need to watch a DVD will depend on the impact of enhanced digital versatile disc technology: Blu-ray. The progress of mobile phones has conditioned us to expect that the next big thing will be smaller and more expensive. But the Sharp BDHP50H Blu-ray Player (£399, sharp.co.uk) only half obeys this rule: the discs sell for somewhere in the 20s, which would make replacement of a movie collection prohibitive, but the machine looks thick and lumbering, a shock in comparison with the clipboard-thin DVD players that are now routine. To test the equipment, my three tenners went on a Blu-ray disc of Danny Boyle's underrated space exploration drama Sunshine - because the movie attempts ambitious spectacle, and because this story of astronauts exploring the sun is directly concerned with the limits of optical experience. A typical line of dialogue runs: "Another 4% will result in irreversible damage to the retinas." Loading seemed slow, allowing my retinas time to note how bossy instruction booklets have become because of legal caution and, presumably, customer precedent: "No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on top of the machine." Are cutting-edge movie-viewers really the type for fresh flowers? Eventually, our journey to the sun began and was worth the wait. The images have a depth of detail not far from 3D cinema, although actors are going to have the problem given to TV presenters by the arrival of high-definition television: every pimple, wrinkle and bristle resembles a lunar crater. If this way of seeing films takes off, you suspect that cosmetic surgeons in Beverly Hills will not have to worry about the cost of Blu-ray discs. The pricing of films seems to be dictated by games rather than by DVDs, and so you would notice the differential less if planning to watch Blu-ray movies on a Sony PlayStation 3 (£299/40GB, available nationwide), which offers the screening room as an alternative to games. Those of us who grew up at a time when one machine washed clothes and another dried them tend to be suspicious of technical versatility: maintaining, for example, a separate laptop, mobile and iPod in preference to a combined device. We fear the all-purpose solution will be not bad at everything but not very good at anything, like county cricketers described as "bits and pieces" players. In fact, the PS3 averaged in the 50s as a Blu-ray player. The picture was less vivid than it was on the specialist equipment but a visible advance on the technology it hopes to make old-fashioned. As the crew neared their destination, I feared that, if picture clarity increased by 4%, my retinas might melt. Halfway to such sunniness for film viewers lies the Samsung 1080P8, fully HDTV-compliant DVD player (around £60, 0870 242 0303, samsung.com/uk). This failed to play the first two movies picked from my shelves of DVDs - The Parallax View and Moulin Rouge - because of that stupid trading restriction that regionalises DVDs and threatens the intervention of the FBI if you watch in England a disc intended for America. This was the first time in years that I'd used a DVD player that wasn't multi-region. It probably wouldn't take a grunting teenager long to fix this problem but, finding a rare Region 1 DVD (Bend It Like Beckham), I rigged the Samsung to a new HD TV and tried it out. The picture was crisp and the machine sleek, but the real choice, surely, is between Blu-ray and dear old heritage DVDs. For the moment, I'd stick with the latter, because the increased cost of the alternative doesn't justify the hike in price. · Stephen Fry returns in July
