Reviews

  • Panasonic SA-BX500

    The Panasonic SA-BX500 sounds OK but is too hard to recommend because of too many limitations for its asking price. The wireless surround pack works well, but just adds expense to an under-featured receiver.

  • Samsung SGH-D900i

    Like a Fashion Week catwalk model, the Samsung SGH-D900i garners most of its appeal from being super-skinny, shiny, and appearing to have not much on.

  • Pentax Optio A40

    The Pentax Optio A40 offers first-class picture quality, with optical image stabilisation and dynamic range adjustment looking interesting, but the middling specs are uninspiring and the toy-like styling isn't for us.

  • Samsung HT-BD2

    The Samsung HT-BD2 delivers the sort of top-notch video quality you'd expect from the world's first HTIB with built-in Blu-ray — but its high price, average audio quality, and lack of extras make it tough to recommend.

  • Archos 605

    The Archos 605 Wi-Fi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.

  • Yamaha YSP-1100

    Although it's expensive, we really liked the Yamaha YSP-1100's excellent sound, which makes movies much more involving.

  • Sony MUTEKI HTDDW1600

    The Sony MUTEKI may not be hi-fi, but for sheer bang-for-buck it's a solid first choice for budding home theatre enthusiasts and party-goers.

  • Dopod D810

    The Dopod D810 is packed with a bevy of useful features including 3.5G HSDPA support, quad-band GSM, and Wi-Fi, but suffers from some glaring shortcomings.
