Reviews

  • Sony Muteki HTDDW7500

    If you fancy an imposing home theatre system that can also deliver the goods, the Sony Muteki HTDDW7500 gives you a lot of sound for little money.

  • 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.

  • Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A

    This flagship Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A is just as good as or even better than the Pioneer LX Kuro in many areas and at a far more reasonable asking price, too.

  • Sony KDL46W3100

    The Sony KDL-46W3100 is an excellent performer as far as colour, contrast and detail are concerned -- only some ghosting issues dampen our spirits.

  • Onkyo TX-SR875

    If you want an AV receiver that has plenty of power and supports the latest high definition audio, the Onkyo TX-SR875 should be on your shopping list.

  • Philips 42PFL9632D Ambilight TV

    A 1080p model with mutiple-mode Ambilight and anti-judder features, the 42PFL9632D performs well in movie mode.

  • Sony BDP-S1E

    The Sony BDP-S1E is an intriguing device, which comes at a good price point, and appears to have the build, the looks and the features.

  • 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.
