Reviews

  • Panasonic TH-42PX8A

    The Panasonic TH-42PX8A is a marked improvement on the 700 series, which is quite an achievement for a budget plasma. Pity it's not true HD, though.

  • Epson EMP-TW1000

    It may lack luxury functions, extended connectivity and the inky blacks of pricier models, but this is well offset by beautiful HD pictures, extended lens shift and ultra-short throw capabilities.

  • Samsung PS-50Q91HD

    The Samsung PS-50Q91HD boasts a truckload of useful features, an extremely high contrast level, and is particularly strong in high definition.

  • Microsoft Xbox 360 HD-DVD player

    While it doesn't offer HDMI connectivity, the Xbox 360 HD DVD player matches up well against stand-alone HD DVD players, and it's a relative bargain at AU$249.95.

  • Samsung BD-P1000

    Samsung's BD-P1000 is the first Blu-ray player to land in Australia. While it raises the bar for high-definition video with 1080p output, it also carries a lofty price tag.

  • InFocus IN74

    The IN74 looks impressive from the outside and it delivers quality images from the inside.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-PC1000

    A compact three-chip MiniDV camera that combines advanced features with point-and-shoot design.
