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.

Mitsubishi Electric HC7000

The Mitsubishi HC7000 is an LCD-based projector which offers a 1080p resolution and advanced picture processing, and appears to sit at a good price point.

Reviews

  • ViewSonic Pro8100

    The ViewSonic Pro8100 is an excellent 1080p projector, which features a Silicon Optix HQV video processor and support for 24p.

  • Denon DVD-1930

    The Denon DVD-1930 is one of the best DVD players we've yet seen, with excellent features like HD upscaling and SACD playback -- proof that it pays to spend more on a good unit.

  • JVC DLA-HD1

    JVC's DLA-HD1 is a ground-breaking projector that beams out images with extremely natural colours and black levels. That said, it's not quite as sharp or as bright as some of its cheaper rivals.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Epson EMP-TW600

    The Epson EMP-TW600 offers the best of both worlds: Inky black-level performance and installation-friendly lens shift.

  • Panasonic PT-AE900

    The PT-AE900 is an upgrade to Panasonic's popular PT-AE700 high definition home theatre projector. By further improving the picture quality and remote control, Panasonic seems to have made a great projector even better.
