Rating: Summary: Best buy! Best value! Review: For what you pay you still get outstanding picture and sound quality for less than $2.00 for each video cassette. This is all you need for recording tv and music programs. Maxell video tapes may be a little bit better, but I think that they are too expensive. I can hardly tell the difference between the Maxell HGX-Gold and the Sony VF.
Rating: Summary: good tape to use for beginners.. Review: tapes are cheaply priced and the picture quality offered by them is even cheaper.
i say if your doing everyday recording and dont care about the quality these tapes are for you.
but if you wanna save your favorite movie or show jvc or fuji is the way to go they both offer incredible picture and sound quality.
Rating: Summary: Sony VHS tapes are the best Review: This tape, along with other VHS tapes made by Sony, are excellent for recording, especially from digital sources like TiVo. The picture and sound quality is almost on par with a DVD. I didn't realize this until one day I bought the Sony T-160 and a T-120 tape made by another brand. After making two recordings from the same DVR source, I saw a big difference in quality between the two tapes, with the Sony being much better. I then decided to re-record the movie that I taped on the first T-120 tape with a Sony tape (also a T-120) and the quality is just as good as the T-160 that I used earlier. Since then, I only use Sony tapes for all my recordings.
