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.
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.
Panasonic PT-AX100E

The PT-AX100E is similar to Panasonic's award winning PT-AE900 -- it keeps all the excellent visuals, but this time it's twice as bright. An excellent projector for the money.
Epson Dreamio EMP-TW700

Epson's latest home theatre projector is a fine example of what can be done with an enhanced LCD engine and dual-iris optics.
Samsung BD-P1000

Samsung's BD-P1000 is the first Blu-ray player to land in Australia. While it raises the bar for high-definition video with 1080p output, it also carries a lofty price tag.
Panasonic PT-AE1000

To fully appreciate "full" HD you need a very big screen, so a projector, such as the Panasonic PT-AE1000, may be the best way to go to watch 1080p pictures.
Panasonic SB-TP1000

The SB-TP1000 looks swish and incorporates some innovative engineering, but the 5.1-channel rather than 7.1-channel set-up does not show off Blu-ray audio at its most impressive.
Panasonic SA-XR700

This AV receiver has been designed with Blu-ray in mind, but its degradation-free output and flexible sound modes make it a solid-looking choice for any HD home.
