Of course, this is a problem with many review sites. A general search for reviews of a category (e.g. cell phones) might return models that are no longer available and even specific searches for a particular model probably won't be updated to reflect is rating against newer models (at times older models are better than the 'newer' models). For example... I purchased the Samsung 215TW monitor this year -- 2 years after it's introduction. And while I found many reviews written at the time of its introduction -- I found few reviews comparing it to Today's newer monitors (even though the 215TW beat most of the 'newer' models in image quality & color reproduction). I've found that user reviews are typically better in these situations and a combination of user reviews & 'professional' reviews are best overall.
