Sony BDP-SX1 review

If you want to take your Blu-rays on the road, Sony's BDP-SX1 portable player is a reasonable, if expensive, option. Its good USB media support is a bonus, but Blu-rays don't look significantly better than DVDs on a 10-inch screen. Read more

Yamaha RX-V471 review

The Yamaha RX-V471 is a well-appointed, highly musical AV receiver that punches above its budget price tag. It's well built, sounds great, and even throws in USB playback. After a couple of years out of sync, Yamaha is back in the groove. 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

Yamaha YSP-2200 review

The Yamaha YSP-2200 is one of the slimmest soundbars yet. It's an ingenious all-in-one home-cinema system for those without the space for separates or multiple speakers. While the subwoofer is rather unrefined, the YSP-2200's sonic clarity and surround-sound steering is excellent. Read more

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

Toshiba 55ZL1 hands-on

It's difficult to mourn the passing of Toshiba's Cell TV when the 55ZL1's Cevo Engine looks so sweet. The 55-inch TV's multi-processor architecture promises to make it the Audi R8 of screens, and niceties like 2D-to-3D conversion look incredibly refined. Read more
