Samsung 46inch 3D TV - UE46D7000


WOW, what a purchase! Just replaced our 1st generation Sony Bravia KDLV32A10 32 inch LCD TV - of nearly 6 years with a 46 inch 3D TV.

For the first time ever, we have gone for a different brand (not a Sony) - as I felt the picture quality on the Samsung was much superior. I tested all the latest designs, picture quality, 3D quality at the local John Lewis and Costco (Watford) and found the Samsung and Panasonic to be the best.

The few reasons why we went for the Samsung over the Panasonic - 1) colour - much superior on the LED than the plasma, 2) aesthetics and design of the TV, specially the bezel which is a few mm wide, and 3) plasma feels like yesterdays technology (personal opinion).

The thin bezel makes the entire TV look so much smaller in comparison to the 32inch Sony that it feels more like 40 inch tv.

Normal 2D TV in HD is just stunning. Pictures are bright and crisp and I can definitely see better contrast levels than most LEDs I have seen available in the market. The SMART hub function on the D7000/8000 series is definitely a lot easier to use and better organised as compared to the C7000/8000 series. I have tried browsing the normal internet, with the help of the Samsung app on my iphone which allows me to type with great ease, and its as good as it can get.

The 3D TV viewing is fantastic! I did not realise it would be this good. I have tested a few 3D movies and documentaries - I am well impressed. I have also quite enjoyed 2D to 3D conversion of live football.

Our first all Electric Car - Cupra Born v3

Image
When my wife’s current car (Volvo XC40) contract was coming to an end, we started to explore all electric cars as potential replacement. There were a few reasons behind this thought process….firstly my current X5 45e inspired me to think of getting an electric car, secondly the costs, thirdly no congestion charge in London and above all our Solar Panel installation at home - potentially making running costs to a bare minimum(specially during the summer months)! After some thorough research we short-listed the VW ID3, Cupra Born, Tesla model 3, Renault Megane e-tech, Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5. Had to rule out Kia and Hyundai as both were slightly larger than the Volvo XC40 we were planning on replacing. Unfortunately for Renault as well as Tesla the prices were just not reasonable enough at the time of placing the order. So we were left between the ID3 and Born - that was relatively simple as the Cupra definitely stood out in the looks department with a more aggressive sporty look. We...

Time for a change! BMW X5 XDrive 45e

Here we go again….!  Its been nearly 3 years since I have been driving my Jaguar. Absolutely love it!!! However the idea of selling it was instilled into my mind by Jaguar. Following my car maintenance service I was invited by Jaguar to consider selling my car as they could really give me a good value for it, keeping in mind the condition it was in and the current state of car market with very little new car stock in place.  Unfortunately Jaguar, didn't have any cars in stock which I felt was going to be an upgrade from my current Jaguar XF! The earliest I could get one from Jaguar on factory order would be at least 12 months away due to part shortages!  Then I started to look at the VW Touareg R - Petrol Plug in Hybrid - kind of best of both worlds - luxury SUV with hybrid engine at the same time. My last experience with the Touareg was just awesome! Loved the drive, comfort, spacious seating for the passengers, reliability, etc.... I can go on! I contacted VW dealership...

DJI Mini 2 Drone

The DJI Mini 2 is a great drone for beginners looking to capture high-quality aerial footage. According to a review by TechRadar, the DJI Mini 2 is the perfect entry-level drone for beginners looking to get to grips with flying, capturing, and editing birds-eye views of beautiful landscapes and cityscapes (where permitted). The DJI Mini 2 offers 4K resolution, although it has a smaller sensor size than the Mini 3 Pro and lacks obstacle avoidance sensors. But whichever you opt for, you won’t be disappointed, as long as you're happy to shoot during the brighter daylight hours¹.  The DJI Mini 2’s design is virtually identical to that of the Mavic Mini, but what’s seen a revamp is that controller, which is beautifully streamlined and delivers a boosted experience. Just like its larger Mavic siblings, the Mini 2 is collapsible with arms that unfurl to transform the palm-sized unit into a drone with just a few spring-loaded maneuvers. The Mini 2 weighs less than 249g. This means it doesn...
