HP Envy 15 (1015TX)

HP's new Envy 15 packs high-powered components into a svelte 15-inch body. The result is an upscale status symbol that still shows a few first-generation rough edges.

LG 47SL80YD

If up-market styling and promising picture quality are on the top of your list, the "borderless" LG 47SL80YD is definitely worth a closer look.

Reviews

Sony Muteki HTDDW7500

If you fancy an imposing home theatre system that can also deliver the goods, the Sony Muteki HTDDW7500 gives you a lot of sound for little money.
Panasonic Viera TH-P46G10A

The Panasonic Viera TH-P46G10A is the best plasma we've seen in the past 12 months, and is perhaps the best TV on the market.
Sony Bravia KDL40ZX1

The Sony Bravia KDL40ZX1 is a beautiful looking television, and while picture quality is generally good it's restrained by a first-gen wireless technology.
LG 42LH50YD

The LG 42LH50YD is a very capable television with a smattering of features, but don't buy it simply for the 200Hz mode.
Marantz SR6003

Marantz is back in the game with its SR6003 receiver &mdash it features up-to-date audio decoding, superb sound and drop-dead gorgeous looks.
Apple iMac 24-inch (2009)

Apple made a number of changes to the 24-inch iMac, but making it available at this price is the most impressive. The rest of the updates are welcome, and Apple's multitasking capability remains unmatched.
Acer Aspire 8930G (Core 2 Duo T9400 processor 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM)

With a true 1080p display, the 18-inch Acer Aspire 8930G is a capable HD content playback machine.
Yamaha RX-V663

The Yamaha RX-V663 sounds great, but it's tough to recommend with its paltry HDMI connectivity, poor upconversion quality, and other design quirks.

CES 2009 preview: Home entertainment

For the last few years, the format war between HD DVD and Blu-ray has monopolised home entertainment coverage at CES. Now that HD DVD is dead, we can finally get back to focussing on new technology, rather than which studios are backing which format.
