Reviews

  • Pioneer BDP-LX71

    The Pioneer LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price.

  • Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A

    This flagship Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A is just as good as or even better than the Pioneer LX Kuro in many areas and at a far more reasonable asking price, too.

  • Onkyo TX-SR606

    The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.

  • Samsung HT-TX500T

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

  • Sony PlayStation 3 (40GB)

    Sony's built the PlayStation 3 with a definite eye on the future. Can it maintain its lead in the gaming arena with its new console?

  • Onkyo TX-SR605

    The Onkyo TX-SR605 raises the bar for AV receivers by delivering an amazing number of next-generation audio and video features at an unbeatably low price

  • NAD T585

    The NAD T585 is a very good universal player, with features and performance you won't find on more "cosmetically" minded devices -- but it's pricey.

  • Samsung DVD-1080P7

    This DVD player upconverts signals to 1080p output, making it ideal for those who want to play their old DVD library on a new full HD screen.
