Reviews

  • Samsung LA46A950

    The Samsung LA46A950 is without a doubt the best LCD television we've seen up until this point and proof that the technology has some fire left in it yet.

  • Dell Crystal

    Although the performance is okay, Dell's Crystal is best left to those who want to prove they have money.

  • Panasonic TH-50PZ700A

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

  • 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.

  • NEC Multeos M46

    The M46 produces an impressive image, but the add-ons required will make it an expensive option for most home theatre buyers, unless you're planning on setting up a customised video wall

  • Hitachi 50PD960DTA

    The current generation of LCD panels have been getting all the attention lately, but Hitachi is fighting back with the 50PD960DTA. Measuring in at a massive 50inches, this display is 1080P capable and looks great in any setting.

    Sharp has ticked all the boxes for launching a seriously tantalising LCD offering, including larger size options, HD tuners, 1080p resolution and a stylish design.

  • HD TV resolution explained

    Is there such a thing as high def and higher def? CNET helps cut through the hype surrounding the various formats of HD resolution.

  • The more pixels, the merrier?

    The number of pixels on a television panel, or its native resolution, determines the amount of detail you'll see on screen. So, it's worth paying more for higher resolutions... or is it?
