Toshiba's HD-XE1 is an HD DVD player that can display 1080p high-definition video. It's exceptionally well-built, features a good range of connections and the picture quality is excellent -- if only it supported Blu-ray too... Read more

If you have the money to burn, this TV is as good as it gets for home entertainment -- unless you want to go the projection route. Its blacks are unparalleled, especially in HD, and Blu-ray looks just as fantastic on the 1080p screen. Watch out for Pioneer's unusual approach to inputs, though Read more

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

It's hugely expensive but the 46-inch Viera TX-P46Z1 plasma TV offers tonnes of features to get excited about and fantastic performance with 1080p video. The best of thing of all is that it can display high-definition video wirelessly. That means less clutter and less marital strife Read more

The fantastic BD-P3600 is the fastest-loading Blu-ray player we've seen so far. It's also easy on the eye, with a sleek, curved design and excellent image quality. Its media-playback capability is a slight letdown, but the BD-P3600 would be a worthwhile addition to your home cinema Read more

In spite of the embarrassing acronym, the Pioneer Kuro KRP-500A is a very high-end TV, aimed squarely at the home-cinema enthusiast. With all its inputs and media gubbins in a separate box, it's incredibly thin for such a large panel -- and its picture is magnificent, as you'd expect for such a high price Read more

Fairly priced and feature-packed, the Sony BDP-S350 has overtaken the PlayStation 3 as the cheapest and most competent Blu-ray player on the market. Besides the fact that Sony took so long to get it on the market, we don't really have any complaints about this player at all Read more

Samsung has improved its plasma TV range this year -- a real achievement considering how good the previous range was. And this PS50A756 is a truly fantastic TV, with bright, beautiful colours, sharp detail and good sound quality. Then there are the infinite features, which put this TV at the top of its class Read more

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
