It's been over five years since we reviewed the excellent Creative T3 2.1 speakers . I still have them in my kitchen at home and use them for bouncing around the kitchen to loud music while I cook. If you forget the perplexingly dismal Creative ZiiSound T6 system that Creative burped out a few years after the T3s and skip straight to today's menu, the new T4 Wireless 2.1 system is Creative's follow-up and it's excellent. Packing two satellite speakers, Creative 'Slam' subwoofer, Bluetooth 3.0. aptX support and NFC for pairing, it's essentially the T3 system reborn for the smartphone generation, and we really like them a lot. You can pump them full of your music using 3.5mm jack, optical in, Bluetooth and you can also plug in via USB and use the subwoofer as a functional plug-and-play soundcard if you so wish. The addition of NFC means you can walk through your front door, tap your NFC-enabled smartphone against the audio control pod and continue listening ...

Ultra HD 4K screens are in healthy supply at CES 2014 but super high-resolution monitors, however, are comparatively few and far between. Luckily, picking up the slack, there was Philips' Brilliance 288P Ultra HD 4K monitor. We met up with Philips to check out its latest 28-inch 4K addition that offers PC gamers and users a 3840 x 2160 resolution. Philips also boasted that the Ultra HD set features 10-bit color panel, 2-bits more than most other screens. Fixing the TN panel We were a bit shocked when a Philips PR rep told us the monitor was a TN panel. Classically these fast response time monitors are tuned for lag free gaming, sacrificing good color and viewing angles. The Philips Brilliance 288P isn't hindered by either of these issues. Colors are deep and rich, it's still not the most vibrant color gamut we've ever seen on a 4K display, but it's definitely a step up from the washed out hues usually seen on TN panels. However, we can't say much about the bla...

Introduction Motorola's back, and it's kicking off its global smartphone revival with the keenly priced Moto G handset. A mid-range handset with a low-end price tag and Android KitKat - okay Moto, I'm listening. First things first then, the Motorola Moto G price. You can pick the handset up in two storage sizes - 8GB and 16GB. The former will set you back just £135/$175 (around AU$190), while the larger size is still a very palatable £159/$199 (around AU$215). So where does this place the Moto G in the market? Well at that price it has the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Fame , Nokia Lumia 520 and LG Optimus L3 2 for company, but dive into the spec list and you'll note the Moto G wipes the floor with them. In terms of design the Moto G takes most of its cues from the firm's first, post-Google takeover handset, the Moto X . It's hardly groundbreaking in terms of looks, but the soft, curved edges of the Moto G make it relatively attractive and the swath of plastic...
