Popcorn Hour C-200 review
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 Read more

Samsung HMX-H106SP review
With a 64GB solid-state drive, as well as an SDHC card slot, the high-definition HMX-H106SP is a robustly built, compact camcorder. Its video quality isn't the best we've seen and its autofocus can be rather slow, but it benefits from an LCD touchscreen and well-organised menus Read more

Samsung BD-P4600 review
The BD-P4600 is the fastest-loading stand-alone Blu-ray player we've come across yet. Combined with a sleek appearance, and good picture and audio quality, it all adds up to a great machine. We just wish it were slightly cheaper, although we expect the price to fall steeply over the coming months Read more

Panasonic DMR-EX79 review
The DMR-EX79 is one of the better Freeview personal video recorders out there. We wish it were cheaper and sported a second Freeview tuner, but it's a sturdy machine that offers plenty of recording flexibility thanks to its 250GB hard drive and DVD writing capability Read more

Sony Giga Juke NAS-50HDE review
At £500, Sony's Giga Juke might seem somewhat expensive for a hi-fi, but it can store 40,000 tracks internally, and its great CD player, DAB tuner and fantastic sound quality make it a very appealing option Read more

LG 50PS6000 review
The 50-inch, 1080p LG 50PS6000 is a great plasma TV. Those seeking absolutely perfect picture quality will want to look elsewhere, but those who want a humungous set that offers good performance for a reasonable price will be more than happy with this TV Read more
