Philips 32PF9986 review

Reviews Thanks to the panel's lack of 720p scaling, you get another black box around the picture when you watch 720p material (more about this later). Switching over to 1080 material, we noticed scaling artefacts entering the picture, so you might want to...

Philips Cineos 42PFL9632D review

Reviews For analogue sources, you'll find two RGB Scart sockets and a component video in for HD material. Besides the Ambilight, the TV also comes loaded with a great number of picture processing modes, all of which are designed to get the best out of the...

Philips Cineos 52PFL9632D review

Reviews The 'Full HD' resolution means that every pixel of HD DVD and Blu-ray movies is on display and the wealth of image processing modes present in the Perfect Pixel HD Engine means that hi-def material looks glorious.

Samsung BD-P1500 review

Reviews There is HDMI of course, as well as an Ethernet connection which is used for firmware updates and access to profile 2.0 BD Live material. We tested some of our regular discs to get an idea how it handled different kinds of material.

Philips Aurea 42PFL9900D review

Reviews But the real draw is Philips' new Perfect Pixel HD Engine processing, which takes whatever video signal you feed it and spruces it up in all manner of ways: standard def material is upscaled to HD resolutions; noise is cleaned up; extra frames are...

42-inch televisions for under £1,000

Reviews Both Freeview and hi-def material look great on this set, though. We also like the Panasonic Viera TH42PX60, because it has a fantastic Freeview picture and a frankly stunning talent for showing hi-def material.

Nokia 3110 Evolve review

Reviews Similar to the packaging, we'd be tickled green to see a higher percentage of bio-material being used in the future. About 50 per cent of the 3110 Evolve's casing is made up material based on plants, which Nokia says uses 15 per cent less fossil...

Toshiba Regza 37X3030D review

Reviews All Toshiba's new televisions, including this model, support material that uses the 24p standard, which means you can watch movies from Blu-ray or HD DVD at the rate they were intended. The audio from Freeview isn't Dolby Digital encoded, but you...

Sharp Aquos LC46XD1E review

Reviews You'll probably be pacing around while this happens, desperate to see what the screen can do with exciting high-definition material. Once this initial tuning is done, the TV will let you have some fun with any 1080p material you've got knocking...

LG HT902TB review

Reviews We tested this claim, and are pleased to report that we had no problems with material we found online. There is also support for DivX ondemand, although we have yet to see very much interesting material be made available by this system.

Oppo DV-981HD review

Reviews FeaturesAs you might expect for a modern DVD player, the 981HD is happy playing DivX and MPEG-4 encoded material. Although we didn't notice any picture problems on DVD material, we were slightly less impressed by the DivX and MPEG-4 picture quality.

HP Pavilion dv9790ea review

Reviews If you're looking for a machine to playback high-definition material, the dv9790ea isn't the one for you. Even if you find HD content online, you still won't be able to make the most of it, as the 17-inch screen only stretches to a resolution of 1...

Philips 42PF9986 review

Reviews If you want to fill the screen with HD, you'll need to feed the 42PF9986 1080i material. The panel's 1,366x768 native resolution is enough to display every detail of 720p material. True, there's no abundance of high-definition material at present...

Archos TV+ review

Reviews At the press launch, Archos said that the lack of HD support was because there was virtually no legal HD material, and that Archos was trying to prevent piracy. We ran into this a number of times with our test material.
