Reviews

  • Yamaha RX-V665

    Yamaha's RX-V665 includes more features than its predecessor, but it doesn't sound as good, has poor video upconversion quality, and doesn't let you assign digital-audio inputs.

  • Samsung BD-P3600

    The Samsung BD-P3600 is a huge leap ahead for stand-alone Blu-ray players, with blazing-fast operational speed, tons of features and excellent image quality.

  • 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.

  • Sony Bravia KDL55XBR45

    The Sony Bravia KDL55XBR45 is currently the company's largest consumer LCD screen and features LED backlighting and DLNA compatibility.

  • Sony Bravia KDL-46Z4500

    The Sony Bravia KDL-46Z4500 is a very well-featured performer that almost outshines Sony's flagship product at half the 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.

  • LG BD300

    LG's BD300 produces decent images and sound and can be networked to take advantage of BD-Live features — just so long as you don't mind laying some Ethernet cable.

  • Sony Bravia KDL-40XBR45

    The Sony Bravia KDL-40XBR45 is part of the new XBR range and includes media streaming, but it lacks the LED backlighting of the larger models.
