Reviews

  • Panasonic SC-PT870

    The Panasonic SC-PT870 is a good system, offering decent-quality surround sound and very good picture performance.

  • 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.

  • Pioneer BDP-LX71

    The Pioneer LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price.

  • Panasonic VIERA TX-32LXD80A

    The Panasonic VIERA TX-32LXD80A is a strong performer for the price in terms of picture quality, but it's let down slightly by its lacklustre sound.

  • Sony Bravia KDL32V4000

    The Sony Bravia KDL32V4000 offers excellent detail, colour and contrast but despite its 1080p resolution the set's high price and motion issues let it down.

  • 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.

  • LaCie LaCinema Premier

    The LaCie LaCinema Premier is a relatively quick and easy-to-use media streamer and external drive that won't burn holes in your coin pocket.

  • Panasonic Viera TX-32LXD700A

    The Panasonic TX-32LXD700 currently stands as Panasonic's flagship LCD TV — so we're happy to say it has the features and performance quality to do its position proud.

  • Sony RHTG800

    The Sony RHTG800 is an unusual take on the HTIB, but it looks good and works well. However, the sound quality isn't the best and the price is high.

  • Hitachi 50PD960DTA

    The current generation of LCD panels have been getting all the attention lately, but Hitachi is fighting back with the 50PD960DTA. Measuring in at a massive 50inches, this display is 1080P capable and looks great in any setting.

  • Pioneer PDP-427XDA

    The Pioneer PDP-427XDA scores with a stylish design, a built-in HD tuner and impressive picture quality, particularly if the set's been professionally calibrated.

  • Sony STRDA5200ES

    With its groundbreaking graphical user interface, three HDMI inputs, and excellent sound, the Sony STR-DA5200ES is outstanding and innovative A/V receiver, with only a handful of frustrations -- including some video upconversion issues -- spoiling the party.

  • Panasonic PT-AX100E

    The PT-AX100E is similar to Panasonic's award winning PT-AE900 -- it keeps all the excellent visuals, but this time it's twice as bright. An excellent projector for the money.

  • Pioneer PDP-5000EX

    Whether you're watching standard- or high-defintion material, the Pioneer PDP-5000EX is one of the very best screens on the market.

  • Panasonic SB-TP1000

    The SB-TP1000 looks swish and incorporates some innovative engineering, but the 5.1-channel rather than 7.1-channel set-up does not show off Blu-ray audio at its most impressive.

  • Panasonic SA-XR700

    This AV receiver has been designed with Blu-ray in mind, but its degradation-free output and flexible sound modes make it a solid-looking choice for any HD home.

  • Toshiba 42WL58

    Toshiba's 42WL58 does LCD technology proud, and it's a solid all-round performer if you've got cash to burn.

  • Sony Grand Wega 42-inch (KFE42A10)

    Sony's LCD rear projection Grand Wega TV presents good images but the price point comparative to similar technologies makes this a hard product to recommend.

  • InFocus ScreenPlay 777

    If you have to have the best in home cinema, then a 3-chip projector is as good as it gets.

  • LG DT-42PY10X plasma television

    A fully integrated 106cm plasma TV that offers great value for money and patronisingly simple installation.
