Reviews

Sharp LC40LE700X

The Sharp LC40LE700X is an LED-backlit television that comes in at a very reasonable price, and features great sound and decent picture quality.
BenQ Joybee GP1

The BenQ Joybee GP1 is a small and impressive LED pico-projector, but you'll pay handsomely for the "wow" factor.
Bowers & Wilkins Panorama

Despite a couple of flaws, the B&W Panorama is one of the best soundbars we've ever heard. It's time to save your pocket money.
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.
Dell S2409W

The Dell S2409W is a 24-incher that sacrifices features for price, but makes up for it in performance and ease of use.
Toshiba 46XV500A

The Toshiba 46XV500A 46-inch LCD is the company's best yet, but it's got a lot of competition from TVs with more sophisticated performance and features.
LG 50PG79ED

The LG 50PG79ED offers an excellent picture for the price and adds a useful, though at times idiosyncratic, digital recorder with 160GB of space.
Yamaha YSP-600

The Yamaha YSP-600 is a very good solution for people who want a simple system that sounds great, but look elsewhere for style or features.
