Grand Prix is awarded to the best device on test, and Best Buy goes to the device which represents the optimum in performance and price.
VIDI is printed in Croatian and sold in Croatia, but it is also distributed in the whole region: (Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia and Montenegro). First three issues were also officially sold in Austria (Graz), and they were sold out. But the transport costs were too high, so distribution in Austria was not continued.
