Sky+HD review

If you're a TV lover, you should seriously consider investing in a Sky+HD box. Sky offers tonnes of glorious hi-def channels, the box is speedy, and there are loads of useful extra features on offer, like remote-recording capability. The £10 fee for accessing the HD channels stinks, though 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

Humax HD-FOX T2 review

If you're looking for a Freeview HD receiver, the HD-FOX T2 is currently your only option, so it's just as well that it does a cracking job. It's expensive and Freeview HD content is still thin on the ground, but it offers generally good picture quality, it's lightning-quick and its interface feels like a breath of fresh air Read more

Philips 9000 LED Pro (40PFL9704H/12) review

At around £1,800, we think the 40-inch, 1080p, LED-backlit 40PFL9704H/12 LCD TV is too expensive, but, as long as you're good friends with your bank manager, we're happy to recommend this set. Its construction, picture and sound quality, and feature set all scream class Read more

Panasonic Viera G15 (TX-P46G15) review

The 46-inch, 1080p Viera TX-P46G15 plasma TV offers plenty of value for money. Although its standard-definition pictures aren't perfect, its high-definition performance is terrific, and it's stuffed with features, including Panasonic's Viera Cast online service, and built-in freesat and Freeview tuners Read more
