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.
There's a lot to like about this Philips TV: it's simple to set up and navigate, the picture quality is good, if not stunning, and it doesn't cost the earth. If you're looking for a 42-inch LCD TV, it's well worth consideration.
Panasonic's third rendition of its popular 42-inch Viera plasma, the TH-42PV60A, is sharper in picture and much sharper in price, but it's not quite as sexy as it used to be.
