Humax Foxsat-HDR review

The brilliant Foxsat-HDR is certainly the best freesat personal video recorder on the market at the moment. It's as well designed as it is easy to use, sounds great and has an excellent picture quality that we can't really fault, although the built-in storage could have been bigger Read more

Popcorn Hour A-210 review

Popcorn Hour media players never fail to win our respect. Comprehensive media playback, a comparatively simple user interface and well-built hardware make them easy to love. The A-210 doesn't move the game on much, but it's accomplished at what it does and we'd spend our own money on one in a heartbeat. Read more

LG LE8900 (47LE8900) review

From the moment we turned it on, we knew the LG 47LE8900 was special. This 47-inch, LED-illuminated LCD TV's superb picture quality really impressed us, as did its understated styling. It's not all good news, though -- pictures display some minor banding, and the sound quality is rubbish. Read more

Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX5090 review

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

Sony BDP-S350 review

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

LG 55LW980 review

It's pricey and the backlighting isn't perfect, but the LG 55LW980 produces stunning pictures, has great Internet features and 3D performance is excellent. Read more

Samsung PS50A756 review

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

Pioneer PDP 436SXE review

The Pioneer 436SXE is the company's first screen to integrate all features within a single unit. The beautifully constructed design features a future-proof specification, including integrated Freeview and high-definition compatibility, and the TV's performance is outstanding Read more

Popcorn Hour A-110 review

We loved the Popcorn Hour A-100, because for around £150 you got a media streamer that can play virtually every video format under the Sun and has enormous flexibility. Now the company has tweaked the hardware and added some new features, including HDMI 1.3 and SATA support Read more
