Reviews

  • HP Pavilion HDX - 'Dragon'

    With a 20-inch widescreen, HD DVD drive and HDTV tuner, HP's Pavilion HDX has supersized the desktop replacement into a fire-breathing, multimedia beast.

  • Samsung Syncmaster 305T

    Samsung's 30-inch Syncmaster LCD is still overkill for most users, but if you must have this much screen real estate it's a very solid contender.

  • Yamaha RX-V661B

    The Yamaha RX-V661 is a solid, budget AV receiver with HD switching, but it's a tough sell when models with next-generation HDMI 1.3 features are about to hit the market.

  • Panasonic DMP-BD10

    Forward-looking cinephiles with deep pockets might go for DMP-BD10 Blu-ray player. For the rest of us, we recommend waiting a while or picking up a PS3.

  • HP Pavilion tx1000

    HP's first Vista-based laptop, the Pavilion tx1000, is an unusual but largely successful hybrid, combining a tablet design with an entertainment-focus.

  • Harman Kardon AVR 140

    The Harman Kardon AVR 140, an entry-level A/V receiver, sounds among the best in its price class, but it falls short on features.

  • Denon AVR-1906

    While the Denon AVR-1906 can't boast the ultimate features list in its midrange class, it does offer the company's typically impressive sound and build quality at an affordable price.

  • InFocus ScreenPlay 777

    If you have to have the best in home cinema, then a 3-chip projector is as good as it gets.
