Sony VPL-VW90ES review
Sony's first 3D projector is a high-end treat. The SXRD light engine is as sharp as a sushi knife, and we didn't spot any picture-spoiling 3D crosstalk effects. If you really want to watch 3D movies at home, you need to buy one of these. Read more

Onkyo HTX-22HDX review
The Onkyo HTX-22HDX home-cinema system is ideal for anyone who has a smaller house, but still wants to take advantage of 5.1 surround sound. We recommend you get the 5.1 package -- it's well worth the extra outlay. Read more

Pioneer LX01BD review
If you can afford it, the LX01BD Blu-ray player with surround-sound speaker system will prove well worth your cash. Disc load times are excruciatingly slow but it's a beautiful and cleverly designed package that offers fantastic picture and sound quality, with great audio-codec support Read more

Onkyo TX-NR5007 review
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

Sharp HT-SL50H review
Sharp's HT-SL50H is a good choice if your flat-screen TV's weedy audio is doing your nut in. The soundbar offers a crisp, wide, stereo spread, while the subwoofer fills out the mid-range. It's an elegant, affordable sonic upgrade for couch potatoes. Read more

Samsung HT-BD1252 review
The 5.1-channel HT-BD1252 Blu-ray home-cinema kit offers excellent value for money. Its tall speakers feel rather plasticky and their sound quality isn't the best we've ever heard, but the whole package looks slick and its video quality is excellent. The iPod dock is a welcome bonus too Read more

Samsung HT-BD1250R review
The 5.1-channel HT-BD1250R is an excellent option for those seeking a low-cost home-cinema system with a built-in Blu-ray player. Its audio performance is admirable for the price, and its picture quality is even better, while a number of appealing extras, such as an iPod dock, only sweeten the deal Read more

LG HB354BS review
The HB354BS Blu-ray player with a 2.1-channel surround-sound system is an incredibly handy all-in-one system. iPod fans are particularly well placed to enjoy the system's impressive sonic performance, thanks to the built-in dock, and picture quality isn't bad either. It's ideal for people just starting to get Blu-ray fever Read more
