Popcorn Hour A-210 review

Popcorn Hour media players never fail to win our respect. Comprehensive media playback, a comparatively simple user interface and well-built hardware make them easy to love. The A-210 doesn't move the game on much, but it's accomplished at what it does and we'd spend our own money on one in a heartbeat. Read more

Western Digital WD TV Live Hub review

We love the Western Digital WD TV Live Hub. Its 1TB hard drive is a stroke of genius and it plays video beautifully. Switching from one source to another is confusing, but this device is still well worth your money. Read more

Sony BDP-S470 review

Although the 3D-capable Sony BDP-S470 isn't really worth considering unless you have a 3D TV, it's still a top-notch Blu-ray player, at a very reasonable price. Read more

LG LE8900 (47LE8900) review

From the moment we turned it on, we knew the LG 47LE8900 was special. This 47-inch, LED-illuminated LCD TV's superb picture quality really impressed us, as did its understated styling. It's not all good news, though -- pictures display some minor banding, and the sound quality is rubbish. Read more

Sony BDP-S370 review

We really can't complain about the Sony BDP-S370. It's cheap, but this Blu-ray player offers speedy disc-load times, excellent picture and sound quality, and decent codec support. It also provides great online features, such as access to BBC iPlayer Read more

Onkyo TX-NR5007 review

The 9.2-channel TX-NR5007 is our favourite AV receiver so far. It's immensely powerful, so it's ideally suited to people with a dedicated -- and large -- home-cinema room. If you have a smaller room, it will still prove wonderful, but you won't be able to turn the volume up high without demolishing your walls Read more

Panasonic Viera VT20 (TX-P50VT20B) review

The 50-inch, 1080p, 3D-ready Viera TX-P50VT20B is Panasonic's best plasma TV so far. Its high-definition pictures offer drool-inducing levels of detail, its black levels are superb and its 3D performance is also good. It packs twin Freeview HD and freesat HD tuners too, making for a comprehensive win Read more

Samsung C8000 (UE55C8000) review

The 3D-ready, 55-inch, 1080p UE55C8000 LCD TV with LED edge lights is one of the most exciting tellies we've ever clapped eyes on. Even discounting its 3D capability, it's worth the steep price tag, thanks to its stunning styling, astonishing HD pictures and bountiful features. Our socks have been obliterated Read more

LG PK590 (50PK590) review

LG presents one of its new range of plasma TVs, and we're very excited indeed. The 50-inch, 1080p 50PK590 has a waifer-thin bezel to accentuate the qualities of its screen -- and what a screen. Pictures from the built-in Freeview HD are stunning, and it has plenty more to offer too in terms of features Read more

Philips BDP7500 review

The BDP7500 is slightly more expensive than many Blu-ray players currently on the market, but it's an impressive machine that's worth the extra outlay. It offers speedy disc-load times, excellent picture quality and can play back downloaded Internet video in a variety of popular codecs. It looks great too Read more
