Liteon LVW-5055 review

More than capable of competing with high-end models from the bigger manufacturers, the LVW-5055 has a huge 250GB hard drive, a DVD recorder with near-universal format compatibility and all the other quality features, such as progressive-scan video, DV input and DivX video playback Read more

LG Super Multi Blue BH100 review

If you can't decide which format to back in the Blu-ray and HD DVD scuffle, then worry no more -- a solution is here called the LG BH100 Super Multi Blue Player, and it plays both high-definition formats. Unfortunately, it'll set you back a hefty wad Read more

Panasonic DMREH50 review

This DVD recorder is bursting with supported formats -- only DVD+RW is missing -- and it offers an incredibly intuitive recording system as well as the world's best remote. But 80GB is a tad stingy for a hard drive recorder and there's no Freeview tuner or FireWire support Read more

Panasonic DMP-BD75 review

The Panasonic DMP-BD75 is a perfectly capable Blu-ray player, but it costs too much and doesn't offer the online video-streaming capabilities of cheaper Sony and Samsung machines. 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

Liteon LVW-5045 review

Far Eastern companies such as Liteon can enter a market with a product set at the lowest price possible. With subsequent generations, however, these same manufacturers come back with feature-packed upgrades that are still comparatively cheap Read more

Samsung BD-D7500 review

Bafflingly small, the BD-D7500 pushes high-street Blu-ray design into the highfalutin realm once monopolised by a certain overpriced Danish brand. One to audition if you want a net-connected BD player that's as pretty as a picture. Read more

Sony BDP-S500 review

The Sony BDP-S500 Blu-ray player is an excellent performer. Both standard definition and high definition material alike looks beautiful, providing scenes with sharpness and strong colour. Audio quality is also crisp, but does this player measure up to the PlayStation 3? Read more

LG HT902TB review

If you have a casual interest in surround sound, the LG HT902TB offers everything you need in one low-cost system. Using six speakers instead of virtual surround sound, it's an authentic 5.1 system. Priced at around £250, it could be your way into home cinema without spending a fortune Read more

Sony RDR-HX725 review

The HX725 offers the versatility of disc and hard drive recording, a full range of easy to use functions and superior style and build quality -- and recordings are impressively accurate to the original. It is lacking an integrated digital tuner though, and this exclusion causes usability and performance issues Read more
