Reviews

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • LG 42PQ60D

    The LG 42PQ60D is a budget plasma that also performs like one. While design and picture quality are mostly good, we'd spend a little bit more on a Panasonic instead.

  • 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 Viera TX-32LXD700A

    The Panasonic TX-32LXD700 currently stands as Panasonic's flagship LCD TV — so we're happy to say it has the features and performance quality to do its position proud.

  • Beyonwiz DP-P1

    The Beyonwiz DP-P1 is a twin-HD tuner digital video recorder with network capabilities allowing you to stream content such as photos and DivX movies from your PC.

  • Samsung LA46M81BDX LCD TV

    The Samsung LA46M81BDX is a 46 inch LCD screen with magnificent black levels and a fine picture but it's not the final word on detail.
