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.

  • HD DVD vs. Blu-ray: who cares?

    Since its 1997 debut, the DVD format has gone on to become perhaps the biggest success in the history of home theatre and consumer electronics. But will the current king of the video hill still be number one by the time it hits its 10th birthday?
