Philips Cinema 21:9 (56PFL9954H/12) review

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:42:02 +0000

If you're a movie lover with deep pockets, the Philips Cinema 21:9 is unlikely to disappoint, offering a truly immersive way to enjoy films shot in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio in the comfort of your couch. Its great picture quality and fantastic audio are also complemented by a lovely design and plenty of features

Sony BDP-S350 review

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 15:21:02 +0000

Fairly priced and feature-packed, the Sony BDP-S350 has overtaken the PlayStation 3 as the cheapest and most competent Blu-ray player on the market. Besides the fact that Sony took so long to get it on the market, we don't really have any complaints about this player at all

Pioneer Kuro KRP-500A review

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:47:01 +0000

In spite of the embarrassing acronym, the Pioneer Kuro KRP-500A is a very high-end TV, aimed squarely at the home-cinema enthusiast. With all its inputs and media gubbins in a separate box, it's incredibly thin for such a large panel -- and its picture is magnificent, as you'd expect for such a high price

Sony PlayStation 3 (80GB) review

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 17:05:02 +0000

Still the best value Blu-ray player on the market, the PlayStation has had a hard-drive upgrade to 80GB -- plenty of space to store downloaded games, demos and media. With rapidly improving online services and exclusive games line-up, the PS3 is better than ever

Pioneer LX01 review

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 07:36:01 +0000

Pioneer's LX01 takes the idea of an all-in-one system to another dimension. It has a load of features, including a Freeview tuner, DVD/HDD recorder and surround receiver, and could be considered a home media hub that will accommodate your every home entertainment need

Toshiba Regza 52Z3030D review

Thu, 29 May 2008 10:21:02 +0000

Dreaming of a big telly? If plasmas aren't your style, then Toshiba presents the massive 52-inch LCD TV that is the Regza 52Z3030D. With high-end picture processing including 5:5 pulldown and 120Hz mode, this telly will produce fabulous images in standard and hi-def

Pioneer PDP-LX608D review

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 12:35:02 +0000

The Pioneer PDP-LX608D is a 60-inch 1080p plasma TV. It comes equipped with Pioneer's Kuro technology, so black levels of unprecedented depth and subtlety make a true home-cinema experience. Hi-def material is delivered with clarity and detail and the range and naturalism of colours is top-drawer

Samsung PS-63P76FD review

Thu, 01 Nov 2007 14:46:02 +0000

The Samsung PS-63P76FD is a whopper of a TV at 63 inches, but all for a great value. This 'Full HD' set produces excellent black levels that give dark scenes great realism and colours are rich and natural. Audio is pretty potent, too and the TV has connections galore

Pioneer PDP-428XD review

Fri, 28 Sep 2007 14:21:01 +0000

With its 'Kuro', blacker-than-black styling, the Pioneer PDP-428XD does live up to its hype. It might sound like a ridiculous thing to say about a TV but we really fell in love with the styling. It would make a great centrepiece to any home cinema and certainly impresses with its deep blacks

Pioneer PDP-508XD review

Wed, 25 Jul 2007 15:23:02 +0000

Pioneer's top-of-the-range PDP-508XD is without doubt one of the best screens we've ever reviewed. Its design and build quality are difficult to fault, it has no less than three HDMI inputs and the picture quality is truly outstanding
