Reviews

  • Panasonic SC-PT870

    The Panasonic SC-PT870 is a good system, offering decent-quality surround sound and very good picture performance.

  • iLife '09

    Apple iLife '09 is a great application suite for simple media organising and editing, and the addition of features like face recognition, geotagging and music lessons makes it worth the update.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Yamaha YSP-3000

    If you can look past its limited video capabilities, the Yamaha YSP-3000 is an otherwise recommendable single-speaker solution for home theater buyers who don't want a traditional 5.1 channel surround system.

  • Sony Bravia KDL32V4000

    The Sony Bravia KDL32V4000 offers excellent detail, colour and contrast but despite its 1080p resolution the set's high price and motion issues let it down.

  • ViewSonic Pro8100

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

  • Samsung HT-X715

    The Samsung HT-X715 is very easy to set up and it does make your movies look and sound good. We just didn't care for the music sound quality with flabby sounding bass.
