Reviews

Sony Handycam HDR-XR200V

It's the active image stabilisation system that finally makes shooting lengthy handheld movies or on-the-go videos a viable option, which elevates this camera from average to good.
Pioneer BDP-LX71

The Pioneer LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price.
Samsung BD-P1500

The Samsung BD-P1500 is a great player to finally take the HD plunge with. The price is right, it looks and sounds great with BD and will also make the most of your DVDs and CDs.
Toshiba Regza 42AV500A

The Toshiba Regza 42AV500A is a great mid-range unit with an attractive price point. It's not perfect but it will certainly please the budget consumer.
Samsung LA46F81BDX

The Samsung LA46F81BDX could have been such a great television but its poorly implemented 100Hz feature has let it down miserably.
Dell XPS M1530

Don't let the slim design and relatively light heft fool you. This XPS is one powerful gaming portable with an impressive feature set for work and play.
Sanyo PLV-Z2000

Despite some performance shortcomings of the Sanyo PLV-Z2000 projector, it's nonetheless a competent and feature-rich 1080p entry.
Canon HV20

Canon's HV20 camcorder is a great choice for HD-happy amateurs, but its low-light performance could have been better.
