Reviews

  • 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.

  • Netgear Digital Entertainer Live (EVA2000)

    The Netgear Digital Entertainer Live is an easy-to-use networked digital media streamer in a small package.

  • Asus Eee Box B206

    For undemanding users who aren't into HD video, Asus' Eee Box B206 is worth a look; however, it's not powerful enough to take on other media-centre PCs.

  • Sanyo PLV-Z3000

    Sanyo's affordable 1080p front projector has its share of flaws, but still represents respectable value in its category.

  • Onkyo TX-NR906

    It's not often that we fall in love with a piece of equipment, but the Onkyo TX-NR906 receiver is the answer to our technological prayers.

  • Harman Kardon AVR 355

    Tailored towards the casual listener rather than Harman Kardon's usual hi-fi customers, the AVR 355 is solid, with great features, but somehow lacking.

  • 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.

  • Sony VPLHW10 SXRD Home Theatre Projector

    Sony's VPLHW10, the company's least expensive SXRD projector yet, proves itself a very good performer for the price, and therefore excellent value.

  • Try it at the Sydney Home Show

    It's not just tiles and taps at this year's Sydney Home Show - technology takes a front row seat, with displays from some major brands giving consumers the chance to have hands on tests of all the latest gear.
