HP 2309m

At a price of AU$649, the 2309m is a decent buy. While it performs well, the blacks aren't as deep as we'd like, and we'd be more tempted to find something with a matte screen to cut down on reflections.

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 HTZLX61

    Pioneer's cute HTZLX61 home theatre system lacks Blu-ray playback, but if you prefer to play DVDs and CDs through your system, then it's well worth considering.

  • Pioneer PDP-LX609A

    Pioneer leaves the market with a shining example of what plasma is truly capable of with the PDP-LX609A — a TV which will remain the one to beat.

  • Pioneer PDP-LX509A

    THe Pioneer PDP-LX509A is the last generation of the company's Kuro panels and features a 1080p resolution and five times the contrast of the previous models.

  • Panasonic SA-BX500

    The Panasonic SA-BX500 sounds OK but is too hard to recommend because of too many limitations for its asking price. The wireless surround pack works well, but just adds expense to an under-featured receiver.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V

    With its new back-illuminated CMOS sensor, GPS receiver and active image stabilisation, this new Handycam looks set to usurp the camcorder throne. We can't wait until we're able to do a full review.

  • Ford Fiesta LX 5-door manual (2009, WS)

    Upgrading to the LX nets you a six speaker audio system with an auxiliary jack for MP3 player connectivity, Bluetooth hands-free with voice control, alloy wheels and cruise control.

  • Ford Fiesta LX 5-door automatic (2009, WS)

    Jump up to LX spec and you'll get power rear windows, Bluetooth hands-free with voice control and alloy wheels. You'll still get a smaller 1.4-litre engine with the auto though.
