Reviews

  • Pioneer BDP-120

    The Pioneer BDP-120 Blu-ray player boasts fine video and audio capabilities, but its frustrating operational quirks make this player an also-ran.

  • Samsung HT-BD1255

    Despite the rather plastic look and feel, this Samsung system offers plenty for the money and its audio and visual performance are both rather good for a HTIB system.

  • 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.

  • Marantz DV4003

    If you're looking to play your existing collection of DVDs and don't want a Blu-ray player, then the Marantz DV4003 is an excellent choice.

  • Sony VPLHW10 SXRD Home Theatre Projector

    Sony's VPLHW10, the company's least expensive SXRD projector yet, proves itself a very good performer for the price, and therefore excellent value.

  • Samsung PS50A650

    Though the Samsung PS50A650 plasma is better than the Panasonic PZ850 feature-wise, it loses out slightly in terms of picture quality.

  • Panasonic Viera TX-37LZ800M

    This flagship 2008 Panasonic Viera LCD TV delivers brilliant colours and soulful sounds, but is held back by a less than ideal PC resolution support and a broken anti-judder 24p function.

  • B&W VM6

    The B&W VM6 are surprisingly capable loudspeakers but the compact dimensions stunt their performance.

    The number of pixels on a television panel, or its native resolution, determines the amount of detail you'll see on screen. So, it's worth paying more for higher resolutions... or is it?

  • Sharp debuts 2.1-channel home theatre sound bars
