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.

  • Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A

    This flagship Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A is just as good as or even better than the Pioneer LX Kuro in many areas and at a far more reasonable asking price, too.

  • Sony BDP-S1E

    The Sony BDP-S1E is an intriguing device, which comes at a good price point, and appears to have the build, the looks and the features.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Sanyo Z3

    Sanyo's Z3 is an impressive LCD home theatre projector with a high resolution capable of displaying High Definition television (HDTV) signals.

  • Sony VPL-HS3

    Sony's entry-level LCD projector won't impress high-end home theatre enthusiasts, but it's not a bad product to start with.

  • 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?
