Thomson DHD4000 review
The Thomson DHD4000 has dual tuners, so you can record one channel while you're watching another. Even better, the unit constantly buffers two channels, so you can change between them without losing your place. It's not only a fantastically designed piece of consumer electronics, but also one that fundamentally changes the way you watch TV Read more

Panasonic TUCTH100 review
Panasonic's first stab at a Freeview recorder doesn't pull any punches -- it features two tuners, a wonderful interface and good connectivity. But its 80GB hard drive isn't overwhelmingly large, and at £80 more than the competition, its value credentials are in doubt Read more

Philips 32PF9830 review
Philips' Ambilight technology produces a calming glow from the back of the TV, which looks cool and boosts the set's perceived contrast level. And while the 32PF9830 is expensive for its size, is includes plenty of premium features, including a motorised stand, and the picture quality is wonderful. All that's missing is a Freeview tuner Read more

Sagem HD-D45H review
Sagem's rear-projection TV is a real star performer across both standard and high-definition sources. Texas Instruments' HD2+ chipset has been replaced from the last range for the HD4 model, there are two HDMI inputs that pre-empt demand for high definition, and a Freeview tuner to meet current demand for digital television Read more

Samsung DVD-HD850 review
A DVD player that 'upscales' normal DVD video to high-definition resolution, this is an absolute must for anyone who has emptied their bank account buying a hi-def TV. With great connectivity and a beautiful picture, this is one of the bargains of the year Read more

Samsung SP-50L7HX review
The SP-50L7HX is an impressive feat of style, features and performance. It's our favourite rear-pro television, sitting beside the iPod as an example of superb design backed up by functionality Read more

Fujitsu P42HTS40 review
The P42HTS40's separate media box means it can handle masses of connectivity and in this respect, it's a benchmark plasma, despite Fujitsu leaving a nasty taste in the mouth by omitting speakers and not having an internal digital TV tuner Read more

Panasonic TX26LXD52 review
The follow-up to the similarly-named TX26LXD50 has one important difference -- an HDMI input. This may not sound like enough for an update, but it means the TV can receive high-definition content when it becomes available -- and the picture's as good as ever Read more

Philips 26PF5520D review
The 26PF5520D offers almost everything that you could want on a modern TV, including full high-definition compatibility and built-in Freeview, all for the miserly sum of £700. It might not offer picture processing or NXT speakers, but with decent picture quality and a shopping list of features, this is a true bargain Read more
