Reviews

  • Panasonic Viera TH-P50V10A

    The Panasonic Viera TH-P50V10A is a 50-inch plasma that features great pictures but only so-so sound. There are better value models in the Viera range.

  • Panasonic SC-PT870

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

  • Samsung UA40B7100

    The Samsung UA40B7100 is the most "entertaining" television yet, and further evidence that the way forward for LCD televisions is in LED-backlighting.

  • LG 42PQ60D

    The LG 42PQ60D is a budget plasma that also performs like one. While design and picture quality are mostly good, we'd spend a little bit more on a Panasonic instead.

  • 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.

  • Sanyo PLV-Z3000

    Sanyo's affordable 1080p front projector has its share of flaws, but still represents respectable value in its category.

  • Harman Kardon AVR 355

    Tailored towards the casual listener rather than Harman Kardon's usual hi-fi customers, the AVR 355 is solid, with great features, but somehow lacking.

  • LG 50PG79ED

    The LG 50PG79ED offers an excellent picture for the price and adds a useful, though at times idiosyncratic, digital recorder with 160GB of space.

  • 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 BD-P1500

    The Samsung BD-P1500 is a great player to finally take the HD plunge with. The price is right, it looks and sounds great with BD and will also make the most of your DVDs and CDs.

  • Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD800A

    The Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD800A is a very capable telly and is ideally suited to wide rooms due to its excellent viewing angles.

  • 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.

  • Panasonic TH-42PZ800A

    If sport or movies are your aim then plasma is still the king, and the Panasonic TH-42PZ800A offers a great picture for a great price.

  • Samsung PS42A450P1

    The Samsung PS42A450P1 is a 42-inch plasma which features 100Hz motion compensation and is capable of displaying 3D games and videos.

  • 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.

  • Sony KDL46W3100

    The Sony KDL-46W3100 is an excellent performer as far as colour, contrast and detail are concerned -- only some ghosting issues dampen our spirits.

  • 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.
