Hancock Blu-ray comes with bonus digital copy

Crave The quality is decent enough, not anywhere near as good as a DVD, but certainly sufficient for watching on a PSP or laptop. Take, for example, the wording that comes on the bonus DVD: "As a special gift with your recent purchase of Hancock, your...

Woo Audio WA2 headphone amplifier review

Reviews We spent two months with the WA2 before putting our thoughts to paper, during which time we listened for hours, daily, with a range of headphones, including Denon AH-D5000 and AH-D7000, Sennheiser HD 650, AKG K 701, Audio Technica W1000, W5000 and...

Pioneer BDP-LX71 review

Reviews Despite being present on every HD DVD player, it was only really used effectively on a couple of discs -- notably Transformers and Blood Diamond. There are also coaxial and optical digital audio outputs, but those won't be much use for HD sound, as...

Asus F6 review

Reviews The F6 packs an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics adaptor, so it's not only capable of playing 3D games, it'll also comfortably handle 1080p video. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics card plays its part, too.

Sony Bravia KDL-40E4000 review

Reviews Of course 24hz playback for Blu-ray movies is included, which should make HD viewing a more fluid, enjoyable experience. It's claimed that Henry Ford said, as a joke, that you could have his 'Model T' motorcar in any colour you liked, as long as it...

Onkyo HTX-22HD review

Reviews It was a real surprise to us that Onkyo has opted to decode both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD internally. There are also two optical and a single coaxial digital input for connecting other AV gear like games consoles, DVD players and other set-top boxes.

Samsung BD-P1500 review

Reviews The one chink in the armour is DTS-HD, which the player won't decode internally. Audio support on the BD-P1500 is good and as you would imagine the player can output any of the HD audio streams like DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD via HDMI.

JVC Everio GZ-MG730 review

Reviews At around £400 online, it's too close to last year's still excellent -- but only £100 more expensive -- HD models, such as the Canon HG10. Like that model, it also costs almost as much as better-performing HD models.

Toshiba Qosmio F50-10Z review

Reviews It also houses Toshiba's new Quad Core HD processor, a chip separate to the main CPU that aims to boost video performance -- something we first heard about back in June. With a resolution of 1,200x800 pixels, the bright 15.4-inch widescreen display...

Denon DVD-3800BD: Wallet-busting Blu-ray

Crave The good news on that front is that Denon is using the Silicon Optix Realta chipset for high-quality video decoding, and HQV picture processing to wring every last drop of information out of either DVD or Blu-ray video.p video support is a given...

Panasonic DMP-BD35 review

Reviews But the good news is that we're nearly there now, and Blu-ray is finally starting to produce players that have the same level of interactivity as even the most basic HD DVD players did. Because the Blu-ray players all feature AVC video decoding, it...

Cowon O2 review

Reviews Even 1,280x720-pixel HD DivX content played smoothly, and obviously requires zero transcoding. The O2 almost feels like a cute hybrid of the Q5W and A3, but without the style of the Q5W or the advanced video capabilities of the A3 (such as real...

Archos 5 vs Cowon A3: PMP prizefight

Crave That's good in the grand scheme of things, but compare it to the A3, which supports DivX (HD and SD), Xvid (HD and SD), H.264, WMV, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VOB, ASF, DAT and MTV. It'll also record video content in real time from SD and HD sources and will...

Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet review

Reviews However, Archos has also done its abysmal you-need-to-pay-separately-for-extra-codecs thing again, meaning you need to cough up just over £12 to get support for 720p HD WMV and MPEG-4, another £12 for MPEG-2 and DVD VOB files, and another £12 for...

80s movies Blu-ray bonanza: HD cheese

Crave Unusually, most of the special features, including original screen tests for Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay, are in HD. Plus, we're guessing these are the kind of films you maybe bought in a three-for-a-tenner deal on VHS and didn't bother to upgrade...
