Panasonic SC-BTX70 review
The 2.1-channel Panasonic SC-BTX70 home-cinema system with built-in Blu-ray player is a curious-looking specimen, and its virtual 7.1-channel surround-sound processing isn't entirely convincing. But its picture quality is fantastic and its super-slim main component will suit those who like to mount their equipment on the wall Read more

Sony BDP-S760 review
At last, Sony has delivered the awesome stand-alone Blu-ray player that we always knew it was capable of making. Aesthetically, the BDP-S760 is about as original as cake, and a few other recent players may have more features, but it delivers the best Blu-ray pictures we've seen this side of £500 Read more

Panasonic DMP-B15 review
Watching Blu-ray movies on an 8.9-inch screen is a seemingly ridiculous proposition, but the DMP-B15 won us over in the end. As well as delivering the best pictures we've ever seen on a portable device, it also functions as an excellent living-room player when connected to a TV via its HDMI port Read more

Pioneer BDP-LX91 review
The BDP-LX91 Blu-ray player is an eye-wateringly expensive piece of kit, no matter which way you look at it. But, for the AV cognoscenti seeking the very best Blu-ray performance that money can buy, it's certain to appeal. Made out of solid aluminium, its build quality is phenomenal too Read more

Toshiba SD-490 review
For those who aren't yet ready to invest in a Blu-ray player, but want to eke as much detail as possible out of their current DVD collection, the Toshiba SD-490 is a good choice. It's cheap, it's stylish, its upscaling capability is good, and its overall picture quality is impressive Read more

Theoretically, the new 27-inch Apple iMac allows you use it as a display for Blu-ray players and games consoles. But our tests prove it's not quite that simple Read more

Samsung HT-BD8200 review
One of the most compact Blu-ray player and speaker systems we've encountered, the HT-BD8200 is an excellent choice for those beginning to dip their toes into the home-cinema water. Although it could do with more inputs for other equipment, its sound and picture quality are great Read more

Pioneer BDP-LX52 review
Considering how pricy the flagship BDP-LX52 Blu-ray player is, it has a fair amount of flaws, such as its relatively slow disc-loading times and inability to play back media via its USB port. But such problems are all outweighed by its absolutely fantastic sound and video quality Read more

Philips BDP3000/05 review
Occasionally, the BDP3000/05 Blu-ray player's budget nature reveals itself -- you need to supply a 1GB memory stick before you can access BD-Live content, for example -- but, for the most part, it's a great machine. Its picture and audio quality are impressive, and it's clearly been built to last Read more
