LG BD390 review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:26:02 +0000

LG has done a sterling job of creating an affordable Blu-ray player that packs in the features, including Wi-Fi connectivity, without compromising on performance. Those who love movies and want to break down the barrier between their PC and TV should check it out

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

Pioneer BDP-LX91 review

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:53:02 +0000

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

Sony Bravia ZX1 (KDL-40ZX1) review

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:43:01 +0000

The 40-inch Sony Bravia KDL-40ZX1 LCD TV with LED edge lights looks stunning and is remarkably thin. Also capable of receiving a 1080i signal wirelessly -- which means less cable clutter -- it's a good choice if you want a TV whose mere appearance will make your friends insanely jealous

Panasonic Viera V10 (TX-P58V10) review

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:13:01 +0000

With Pioneer about to abandon the UK TV scene, the 58-inch, 1080p Viera TX-P58V10 plasma telly has emerged as a hugely worthy heir to the mega-screen throne. Besides tonnes of features and connections, this colossal set offers spectacular pictures that outstrip Panasonic's already very high standards

LG PS7000 (50PS7000) review

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:44:02 +0000

Aggressively priced for a 50-inch, 1080p plasma TV, the 50PS7000 nevertheless packs a powerful punch. It's tastefully designed, offers good connectivity and sports exemplary menus. Most importantly, its pictures are unusually aggressive for a plasma set, so its hi-def performance is frequently spectacular

Pioneer BDP-LX52 review

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:04:02 +0000

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

Philips BDP3000/05 review

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:41:02 +0000

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

Popcorn Hour C-200 review

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:59:02 +0000

If you thought media streamers don't get better than the Popcorn Hour A-100 and A-110, the C-200 may make you revise your opinion. Offering a new design and even more features, including a slot for a Blu-ray drive, it's a great device that will be even better once a few bugs are ironed out

Four of the best plasma televisions

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:10:02 +0000

Some of our favourite televisions at the moment are plasmas. This is a pretty new development because it feels as though it's taken a while for the technology to catch up with LCD, especially in terms of value. Now though, there are enough reasons to favour a plasma if you're about to splash some cash on a new telly
