Reviews

  • 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.

  • Netgear Digital Entertainer Live (EVA2000)

    The Netgear Digital Entertainer Live is an easy-to-use networked digital media streamer in a small package.

  • 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.

  • 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.
