Reviews

  • LG BD390

    The LG BD390's combination of excellent image quality, super-fast loading times and rich features make it one of our top choices among premium stand-alone Blu-ray players.

  • Pioneer BDP-120

    The Pioneer BDP-120 Blu-ray player boasts fine video and audio capabilities, but its frustrating operational quirks make this player an also-ran.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR100

    While it's a perfectly serviceable HD camcorder, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 should deliver a little more of everything for the money.

  • Samsung PS50B850

    The Samsung PS50B850 is an attractively slim plasma TV that offers all the latest bells and whistles with good picture quality to boot.

  • Loewe Art 42 SL Full-HD+ 100 DR+

    Not within everyone's ballpark, the Loewe Art 42 SL is a pricey LCD TV, but if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed. It's a stylish bit of kit with plenty of upgrade and customisable options.

  • JVC Everio GZ-MS120

    Two SD card slots allow for up to 64GB of storage, but otherwise the MS120 is a nice, albeit run-of-the-mill, flash-memory-based standard-def camcorder.

  • Seagate FreeAgent Theater

    Its poor video support means it's not perfect, but if you have a FreeAgent portable hard drive it's quite a capable photo and audio streamer.

  • Samsung BD-P3600

    The Samsung BD-P3600 is a huge leap ahead for stand-alone Blu-ray players, with blazing-fast operational speed, tons of features and excellent image quality.
