Rear-projection televisions

All the fuss over flat-screen TV has taken the limelight away from the humble rear-projection television. Rear-pro's physical similarity to the CRT TVs of old mean it's less attractive than its plasma and LCD contemporaries, but rear-pro is still the best way of getting a huge screen at an affordable price. The high contrast and cinematic picture quality mean that these TVs are perfect for movie lovers... Read more

Sony RDR-HX510 review

Sony's RDR-HX510 is a dual-layer DVD recorder, meaning you can record high-quality movies to a single disc. It's stylish and easy to use, but its small hard-drive size and lack of Freeview tuner limits its functionality. Read more

Sony KLV-26HG2 review

Sony's new 26-inch LCD TV is the perfect AV choice for the boudoir. It won't take up much room and Sony's wondrous Wega Engine technology provides beautiful pictures from the clunkiest of sources. But if you want a high-definition TV or a flashy PC monitor, look elsewhere Read more

Sony KE-P42M1 review

A 42-inch plasma that won't break the bank, the KE-P42M1 nevertheless cuts corners with a childish design and basement-level resolution Read more
