Panasonic Viera TH-P50V10A

The Panasonic Viera TH-P50V10A is a 50-inch plasma that features great pictures but only so-so sound. There are better value models in the Viera range.

iRiver B30

Idiosyncratic as hell, the iRiver B30 is a feature-complete player with sparkling sound, but it won't put a fire up the Cupertino boys.

Reviews

  • Sharp LC40LE700X

    The Sharp LC40LE700X is an LED-backlit television that comes in at a very reasonable price, and features great sound and decent picture quality.

  • Sharp LC42D77X

    The Sharp LC42D77X is a great TV let down by poor sound. But if you have a sound system already then the set's belting image quality makes it worth considering.

  • Toshiba 46XV500A

    The Toshiba 46XV500A 46-inch LCD is the company's best yet, but it's got a lot of competition from TVs with more sophisticated performance and features.

  • 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.

  • Pioneer BDP-LX71

    The Pioneer LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Samsung HT-TX500T

    The Samsung HT-TX500T delivers sound and image quality as expected from a mid-range home theatre package.

  • Home cinema for under $1500

    You get what you pay for with HTIB systems, so if you're prepared to spend up to AU$1500 you'll achieve sound quality that will better match the picture.

  • Best 'home theatre in a box' systems

    You've finally taken the plunge and invested in a large screen TV, but found out pretty much straight away that the sound is thin and not deserving of the term "home theatre". So where to next?

  • Which 42" Plasma is right for you?

    Everybody wants one, and 42 inch plasma TVs are the hottest size in flat panel sets. But before you jump on the plasma bandwagon, which model offers the best TV experience?
