BBC iPlayer HD: Good enough to watch on a high-definition TV?

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:47:02 +0000

BBC HD launched recently on iPlayer, so we put it through its paces to see if it could compete with actual broadcast-quality HD and keep those without access to the BBC HD channel happy

LG HB354BS review

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 08:06:02 +0000

The HB354BS Blu-ray player with a 2.1-channel surround-sound system is an incredibly handy all-in-one system. iPod fans are particularly well placed to enjoy the system's impressive sonic performance, thanks to the built-in dock, and picture quality isn't bad either. It's ideal for people just starting to get Blu-ray fever

Onkyo TX-SR607: Could start world's longest domestic argument

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 12:25:02 +0000

When it comes to AV gear, domestic bliss is nothing short of impossible. Generally someone wants surround sound, but the other person can't stand lots of bass. It's a recipe for a big old barney

Panasonic DMP-BD60 review

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 17:44:02 +0000

The DMP-BD60 Blu-ray player is a corker, offering a simple but stylish design, awesome picture quality and good online functionality. It's not the fastest-loading player available, but, if you want minimum fuss and maximum quality, you won't go far wrong with this machine

Onkyo TX-SR307, TX-SR507, TX-SR577 and TX-SR607 AV receivers treat your lug-holes

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:33:01 +0000

If home cinema is your game, buying some of the new Onkyo AV equipment may well be on your wishlist. Happily, we've got the specs for the company's 2009 line-up

Onkyo A-5VL stereo amp: Audiophile performance for less than £500

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 09:29:02 +0000

Onkyo is quite late to the stereo market, preferring to cut its teeth on multi-channel home cinema. Now though, it's got a stereo amp and a SACD player that promises smashing value

Samsung BD-P4600 review

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:35:02 +0000

The BD-P4600 is the fastest-loading stand-alone Blu-ray player we've come across yet. Combined with a sleek appearance, and good picture and audio quality, it all adds up to a great machine. We just wish it were slightly cheaper, although we expect the price to fall steeply over the coming months

Panasonic Viera TX-P50X10B review

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 12:55:02 +0000

The 50-inch Viera TX-P50X10B plasma TV is aimed at bargain hunters who don't want to compromise on screen size. Good value for money and stylishly designed, it looks like a more expensive TV and offers very good picture quality too -- most people will never realise it's a 720p, not 1080p, set

Onkyo TX-NR906 review

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 12:44:02 +0000

The TX-NR906 AV receiver looks stunning, can decode almost anything you throw at it and, combined with a good set of speakers, offers sound that is nothing short of epic. The price tag is steep but this device may be the answer to many home-cinema enthusiasts' prayers

Onkyo CS-325UK review

Wed, 21 Jan 2009 16:27:02 +0000

A traditional all-in-one system with a CD player, radio receiver and iPod dock, the CS-325UK offers impressive sound quality and is straightforward to set up and use. Its design isn't eye-catching, but this is a good-quality system that represents value for money given its relatively low price tag
