Panasonic SC-BTX70 review

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:58:02 +0000

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

Panasonic DMP-B15 review

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:22:02 +0000

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

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 G15 (TX-P46G15) review

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:37:02 +0000

The 46-inch, 1080p Viera TX-P46G15 plasma TV offers plenty of value for money. Although its standard-definition pictures aren't perfect, its high-definition performance is terrific, and it's stuffed with features, including Panasonic's Viera Cast online service, and built-in freesat and Freeview tuners

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

Panasonic Viera TX-P42G15 review

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:51:02 +0000

You'll need to lay down a sizeable wad of cash to buy the 42-inch, 1080p Viera TX-P42G15 plasma TV, but it's worth it. This set boasts exceptional picture quality and is jam-packed with features, including an on-board freesat HD tuner and Web connectivity

Sony Bravia W5810 and Z5800 TVs: Rockin' in the freesat

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:03:01 +0000

Fresh from the ovens of IFA, Sony has served up two new Bravia tellies that come with built-in freesat receivers. Behold the W5810 and Z5800!

Best TVs for the football season

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:48:02 +0000

Getting the best-possible picture is of paramount importance if you want to be able to enjoy seeing a player take a dive, or argue about which massively overpaid prima donna has the most professionally plucked eyebrows. We've rounded up some contenders for your cash

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

Best large-screen TVs under £800

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:10:01 +0000

We compare four of the best TVs on the market for around the £800 mark -- the feature-laden Sony Bravia KDL-40V5500, the Panasonic Viera TX-P42S10 with its stunning pictures, the LG 42LF7700 with its built-in freesat receiver, and the LG 42PQ6000, a great all-rounder
