Reviews

  • 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.

  • JBL ES250PW wireless subwoofer

    The JBL ES250PW is the first wireless subwoofer we've seen from a hi-fi manufacturer and should take some of the headaches out of owning a home theatre system.

  • 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.

  • Samsung HT-BD8200

    The Samsung HT-BD8200 not only offers a likeable and easy to set-up home cinema system, it also offers audio and video of a higher standard than the price lets on.

  • 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.

  • BenQ Joybee GP1

    The BenQ Joybee GP1 is a small and impressive LED pico-projector, but you'll pay handsomely for the "wow" factor.

  • Bowers & Wilkins Panorama

    Despite a couple of flaws, the B&W Panorama is one of the best soundbars we've ever heard. It's time to save your pocket money.

  • Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Player

    With a mind-blowing feature set and superlative performance, the Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player could very well be the last disc spinner you'll ever need.
