Reviews

  • BenQ Joybee GP1

    The BenQ Joybee GP1 is a small and impressive LED pico-projector, but you'll pay handsomely for the "wow" factor.

  • Panasonic Viera TH-P42S10A

    For a budget plasma, the Panasonic Viera TH-P42S10A certainly doesn't perform like one and boasts a significant improvement on last year's models.

  • Samsung HT-BD1255

    Despite the rather plastic look and feel, this Samsung system offers plenty for the money and its audio and visual performance are both rather good for a HTIB system.

  • JVC Everio GZ-HD40

    JVC's CMOS-based Everio GZ-HD40 finally offers AVCHD recording, but a few shortcomings keep us from giving it a full recommendation.

  • Asus Eee PC 1000HE

    The Asus Eee PC 1000HE is a good 10-inch netbook; while we're hanging out for the higher-resolution HP Mini 2140, this is definitely one of the better 10-inch netbooks on the market.

  • Pro-Ject Debut III/Phono USB

    The Pro-Ject Debut III/Phono USB turntable is a great turntable which simplifies archiving recordings on a PC — even if it still doesn't make it easy.

  • Samsung HT-TX500T

    The Samsung HT-TX500T delivers sound and image quality as expected from a mid-range home theatre package.

  • Sanyo LCD47XR2

    We tried to like the Sanyo LCD47XR2 47-inch LCD, but its incredibly high price, lack of features and mediocre performance mean it's best avoided.
