Panasonic Viera TH-P46G10A

The Panasonic Viera TH-P46G10A is the best plasma we've seen in the past 12 months, and is perhaps the best TV on the market.
Samsung UA40B7100

The Samsung UA40B7100 is the most "entertaining" television yet, and further evidence that the way forward for LCD televisions is in LED-backlighting.
Denon AVR-789

The Denon AVR-789 sounds great and is fully featured, but isn't the easiest receiver to set up and use.
Denon AVR-1909

The Denon AVR-1909 sounds great and is fully featured, but isn't the easiest receiver to set up and use.
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 DMP-BD35

Quite simply, the Panasonic BDP-BD35 is one of the most sensibly priced and best-performing stand-alone Blu-ray players on the market.
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.
Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A

This flagship Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850A is just as good as or even better than the Pioneer LX Kuro in many areas and at a far more reasonable asking price, too.
