Four of the best plasma televisions

Reviews And lastly, the mother of all televisions: the Pioneer PDP-LX6090, which we think is quite possibly the best TV on the planet right now -- although it is rather pricey. At the moment some of our favourite televisions are plasmas.

Sharp Aquos LC-15L1E review

Reviews The wireless transmission definitely looked worse; for example, scenes from the Alien DVD showed more false contouring around the rings of the planet and more video noise and contours in the fog around the lights as the explorers approach the...

Nokia N95 review

Reviews Like Google Earth, Maps opens on an image of our planet from space, swooping smoothly in once the GPS aerial locks on. Every now and then a product comes along that promises to revolutionise the market.

Asus U2E review

Reviews It's designed to prolong battery life, save the planet and tuck animals into bed -- except cows. Back in January 2007, we reviewed the Asus U1 -- one of the most stylish ultraportables of its time. Now, just over a year later, Asus has released its...

Sim2 C3X review

Reviews The whole system is amazingly quiet, with little in the way of fan noise getting in the way of viewing, even with quieter discs such as the excellent Blue Planet series, which again benefits from crystal clear images, especially when viewed on a...

Toshiba Regza 40ZF355D review

Reviews At the movie's beginning is a scene in space, with ships moving past the camera, and another on a terraformed planet, with a pan past a CGI city. As soon as we're presented with wonderfully thin TVs, we start complaining about how the bezel is fat...

Packard Bell EasyNote XS review

Reviews This will come as good news considering half the planet is familiar with the OS, but its presence does add a significant amount to the overall price of the system. It's twice the price of an Eee, but has advantages like a much larger hard drive and...

Samsung LE32R87 review

Reviews At the start of the movie where we zoom into the Earth, the planet has an almost 3D look to it. To help maintain its lead, the Korean company has tweaked the design of one of its most successful models, emphasising the curves.

Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 8 review

Reviews BBC HD's Planet Earth looks gorgeous here: the extra detail doesn't hit you like it would on a bigger screen, but it's still noticeable, and the colours in the sea, sky and penguins' plumage look beautifully rich and deep.

Woo Audio WA2 headphone amplifier review
