Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Player
With a mind-blowing feature set and superlative performance, the Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player could very well be the last disc spinner you'll ever need.
-
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.
-
Onkyo TX-SR607
If you can overlook its poor analog video conversion, the Onkyo TX-SR607 offers up a ton of HDMI connectivity and excellent sound quality for a mid-range AV receiver.
-
Marantz SR6003
Marantz is back in the game with its SR6003 receiver &mdash it features up-to-date audio decoding, superb sound and drop-dead gorgeous looks.
-
Kogan Blu-ray player
Kogan's budget-line Blu-ray player has excellent playback, and is even region free. At the same time, it's a player we could only recommend as a stopgap solution for multi-region buyers.
-
Denon AVR-1909
The Denon AVR-1909 sounds great and is fully featured, but isn't the easiest receiver to set up and use.
-
Pioneer BDP-LX71
The Pioneer LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price.
-
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 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.
-
Onkyo TX-SR606
The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.
-
Samsung HT-X715
The Samsung HT-X715 is very easy to set up and it does make your movies look and sound good. We just didn't care for the music sound quality with flabby sounding bass.
-
Samsung HT-BD2
The Samsung HT-BD2 delivers the sort of top-notch video quality you'd expect from the world's first HTIB with built-in Blu-ray — but its high price, average audio quality, and lack of extras make it tough to recommend.
-
Linksys Media Center Extender DMA2200
The MCE DMA2200 is probably the best media streaming device we've ever tested. It only works with Windows Vista, but for streaming media from a PC to the TV, it's ideal.
-
Denon DVD-1940
The Denon DVD-1940 is a worthwhile successor to to the 1930, with great DVD pictures. If the upscaler was up to snuff it would be perfect.
-
Samsung HT-TX500T
The Samsung HT-TX500T delivers sound and image quality as expected from a mid-range home theatre package.
-
Sony STRDA5300ES
With six HDMI inputs, an intuitive graphical user interface and excellent audio and video quality, the Sony STR-DA5300ES raises the bar on what to expect from a high-end AV receiver.
-
Panasonic TH-50PZ700A
Despite a recent price drop, the Panasonic TH-50PZ700A still struggles in the face of its main competitor, the Pioneer Kuro.
-
Philips Aurea 42PFL9900D
The Philips Aurea 42PFL9900D may be very expensive, but its picture performance nothing short of stunning, and the Ambilight Spectra system stands out from the crowd.
-
Sony PlayStation 3 (40GB)
Sony's built the PlayStation 3 with a definite eye on the future. Can it maintain its lead in the gaming arena with its new console?
-
Alienware Area-51 m9750
Alienware's flagship gaming laptop, the Area-51 m9750, has plenty of appeal for high-end gamers, but the alien head aesthetic seems dated, and newer components are right around the corner.
