Reviews

LG BD390

The LG BD390's combination of excellent image quality, super-fast loading times and rich features make it one of our top choices among premium stand-alone Blu-ray players.
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.
Sony DAV-F500

If you own a Bravia and movies are your main criteria, the Sony DAV-F500 makes a lot of sense. Its video upscaling produces quality images, but music lovers will be disappointed.
Samsung HT-X810

The Samsung HT-X810 is a breeze to set-up and looks great sitting underneath your TV, and while picture quality is great, the sound slightly disappoints.
Samsung HT-TX500T

The Samsung HT-TX500T delivers sound and image quality as expected from a mid-range home theatre package.
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.
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.
