Acer AT4220B
Acer's 42" LCD TV offers exceptional value for a low asking price.

Apple Mac Pro
Apple's Mac Pro has design innovations that we hope will cross over to other systems. Its performance is as strong as you'd expect for a system in its class, and it's priced right, too. You might need more flexibility in your config options, especially for 3D design, but otherwise, the Mac Pro is as solid a professional-class PC as we've seen.

Sony SVR-HD700
A pricey high-end PVR with plenty going for it, despite the limited EPG and lack of USB/Firewire connections.
