Reviews

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Pioneer PDP-LX508A

    The Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX508A is the undisputable class leader in black level and colour vibrancy. However, these attributes don't quite warrant the premium pricing.

  • Philips 32PF5520D/79 32-inch LCD television

    Philips 32PF5520D is a decent performer with some notable pluses (such as its built-in digital tuner), but for a mid-range offering its price of AU$3699 puts it perilously close to the high-end models of players like LG and Sony.

  • Panasonic Viera TX-32LX500A (32-inch LCD)

    The Panasonic Viera TX-32LX500 is an excellent flat panel display for those willing to fork out extra dough for a premium product.

  • Panasonic VIERA LCD TV TX-32LX1A

    Panasonic's VIERA design LCD TVs have jumped on the style bandwagon with a pearl-silver finish and black screen framing.
