Reviews

  • Sony Bravia KDL40E4500

    The Sony Bravia KDL40E4500 is a competent television at a good price, and features network playback, clean styling and a proficient picture.

  • Sony Bravia KDL40W4500

    The Sony Bravia KDL40W4500 is a competent television at a good price, and while the picture is proficient it has some problems with movement.

  • Samsung LA46A950

    The Samsung LA46A950 is without a doubt the best LCD television we've seen up until this point and proof that the technology has some fire left in it yet.

  • Panasonic DMR-BW500

    The Panasonic DMR-BW500 is Australia's first Blu-ray recorder and while it isn't a bargain, it is one of the most feature complete PVRs on the market.

  • Sony VAIO LT VCG-LT28G

    We're still trying to work out who the target market for the highly expensive LT VAIO is. Design-crazed multimillionaires, perhaps.

  • Acer Aspire L3600

    The Aspire aspires to be one half media center, one half desktop PC, and it's ultimately one half as compelling as a result.

  • Sony VAIO TP2

    Sony's designed a nice looking unit in the TP-2, but its beauty proves to be only skin deep.

  • Sanyo LCD47XR2

    We tried to like the Sanyo LCD47XR2 47-inch LCD, but its incredibly high price, lack of features and mediocre performance mean it's best avoided.
