Five years of home theatre: The highs and lows

CNET Australia has turned five years old, and so we look at some of the big events and technologies in this time, and what's on the horizon.

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.

Reviews

Pioneer BDP-LX71

The Pioneer LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price.
Sony Bravia KDL-32D3100

If you are in the market for a high quality television but have limited space, the Sony Bravia KDL-32D3100 will certainly fit the bill nicely.
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.
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.
Philips 42PFL9632D Ambilight TV

A 1080p model with mutiple-mode Ambilight and anti-judder features, the 42PFL9632D performs well in movie mode.
Sony RHTG800

The Sony RHTG800 is an unusual take on the HTIB, but it looks good and works well. However, the sound quality isn't the best and the price is high.
Sony VPL-VW50

Although the Sony VPL-VW50's picture quality falls short in a number of areas, it's easily one of the best values in 1080p front projection.
