Reviews

Nokia N97

The N97 features class-leading specs matched with outstanding design and build, but it loses marks for the Symbian platform that desperately needs an overhaul to stay competitive.
LG BD370

Cheap and very cheerful, the LG BD370 Blu-ray player is a fantastically optioned piece of blue laser finery, and a new benchmark for budget players.
Denon AVR-789

The Denon AVR-789 sounds great and is fully featured, but isn't the easiest receiver to set up and use.
Denon AVR-1909

The Denon AVR-1909 sounds great and is fully featured, but isn't the easiest receiver to set up and use.

i-Vision 922 video glasses

These quirky virtual display specs are fun and attention-grabbing, but the price exceeds the novelty value.

While it doesn't offer HDMI connectivity, the Xbox 360 HD DVD player matches up well against stand-alone HD DVD players, and it's a relative bargain at AU$249.95.
