Reviews

Samsung UA40B7100

The Samsung UA40B7100 is the most "entertaining" television yet, and further evidence that the way forward for LCD televisions is in LED-backlighting.
Sony XEL-1

Sure, the Sony XEL-1 OLED is ludicrously expensive, but it is also hands-down the most impressive television we have ever seen. Read our Australian-first review.
Samsung LA52A750

The Samsung LA52A750 is a largely excellent TV, but t demonstrates some of the disadvantages of large-screen LCDs.
Samsung PS50A650

Though the Samsung PS50A650 plasma is better than the Panasonic PZ850 feature-wise, it loses out slightly in terms of picture quality.
Pioneer BDP-LX71

The Pioneer LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price.
Panasonic HDC-HS9

This year's high-def hybrid camcorder from Panasonic is of the much more useful SD card/hard-disk variety. There's 60GB of on-board storage and 1080p recording at 25fps.
Panasonic TH-50PZ700A

Despite a recent price drop, the Panasonic TH-50PZ700A still struggles in the face of its main competitor, the Pioneer Kuro.
Fujitsu P50XHA58EB

The Fujitsu P50XHA58EB is a decent plasma screen but it has been eclipsed both in terms of price and performance by younger upstarts.
