Reviews

  • Kogan Blu-ray Player BD 2.0

    The renewed Kogan Blu-ray player is a bargain, with many of the niceties of much more expensive players but you can't expect video precision for the price.

  • Kogan 1080P37

    Kogan's 37-inch Full HD panel is inexpensive and should appeal to budget sensibilities, but it's not great for those who demand visual fidelity.

  • Sony BDP-S560

    The Sony BDP-S560 Blu-ray player features a Wi-Fi adapter and BD-Live support, but doesn't appear to be able to match competitors for features.

  • Pioneer PDP-C509A

    The Pioneer PDPC509A is the last of the mighty Kuros, and features a 1080p resolution, three HDMI ports and enhanced contrast in bright environments.

  • LG 50PS80FD

    The LG LG 50PS80FD "Time Machine" plasma is a very good all-rounder, which also doubles as a useful DVR — as long as you don't expect too much from it.
