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

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

Panasonic DMR-XW380 review

The Panasonic DMR-XW380 is a sleek PVR, and one that we think everyone will enjoy using. The problem is the hard drive is too small, it's too expensive and you can't save HD recordings to DVD. Read more

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

Toshiba SD-P91S review

With its twisty-turny, 9-inch screen, the Toshiba SD-P91S is a great portable DVD player for when you're stuffed into cattle class. It's a large, widescreen player that supports lots of video files and has a USB port for easy access. It'll definitely help frequent travellers on long, boring journeys Read more

Toshiba XD-E500 review

If you're looking to make the most of your DVD collection but you aren't up for a Blu-ray player, this Toshiba upscaling DVD player may be a good bet. Play with the three different upscaling modes to find your ideal picture, but watch out for some behavioural problems Read more

Panasonic DMP-BD45 review

The DMP-BD45 is a fairly basic Blu-ray player that offers a good-looking design and great picture quality, as well as USB and SD-card slots for playing back photos and video from cameras and camcorders. It's expensive for what it is, but it's worth a look if you have technophobic tendencies Read more

Toshiba BDX3100 review

It'll play your 3D Blu-rays, albeit with a weird line down the right-hand side, but the BDX3100 is under-specified and over-priced compared to everything else on the market. We can tell Toshiba's heart isn't in Blu-ray players, and it shows in this off-the-shelf hardware. Read more
