Reviews
-
LG 50PG79ED
The LG 50PG79ED offers an excellent picture for the price and adds a useful, though at times idiosyncratic, digital recorder with 160GB of space.
-
Panasonic TH-42PZ800A
If sport or movies are your aim then plasma is still the king, and the Panasonic TH-42PZ800A offers a great picture for a great price.
-
Sony BDPS500B
The Sony BDPS500B is an excellent sonic performer and will upscale your DVD collection — but it's outshone by cheaper players for Blu-ray playback.
-
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 DMR-EX85
Panasonic's DMR-EX85 is crammed with more recording and playback features than you can imagine, including an enormous 250GB hard drive, universal disc compatibility and integrated video scaling.
-
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 DMR-ES15
Limited specification but affordable, easy-to-use and both the recording and playback performance is impressive.
-
Epson EMP-TW600
The Epson EMP-TW600 offers the best of both worlds: Inky black-level performance and installation-friendly lens shift.
