TVs for the bedroom: Mid-range beauties

If you want to buy a new TV these days, it'll have to be a flat screen, even if it's for the bedroom or kitchen. These new models from the major makers impress not only because of their picture quality and design, but also their low price. Some even offer integrated Freeview tuners and high-definition compatibility, meaning they're perfect long-term buys Read more

InFocus ScreenPlay 777 review

For true home cinema fans, the arrival of 3-chip DLP projectors was perhaps even more significant than flatscreen TVs. This super-premium technology offers Odeon-quality projection in the home along with full high definition compatibility. It's the sort of thing gadget-heads and AV fanatics will dream about owning Read more

Samsung LE40R51B review

Microsoft has chosen the stylish Samsung LE40R51B to showcase its Xbox 360 console's hi-def output, and we don't blame them. It may lack Freeview and the connectivity is somewhat lacking, but for this price and size, the picture quality on this LCD is brilliant Read more

Buffalo LinkTheater review

Buffalo's LinkTheater tries to be all things to all people, and in the rush for omnipotence forgets a few of the basics along the way -- such as Scart outputs, or a comprehensible control system. However it does manage to wirelessly stream video and music content to your television via your home network, so you may forgive it Read more

InFocus ScreenPlay 7205 review

It may look boring, but the 7205 outclasses the current crop of sub-£2,000 models by a considerable margin. It should be the first choice for those with high-definition aspirations and an eye for quality home-cinema projection Read more

It's playback time: Freeview hard-drive recorders

If you've not yet made the upgrade to Freeview, you should think about spending that little bit more and buying an integrated recorder. These devices don't just record, they also enable you to pause live TV, rewind through what you've been watching and cut out the ad breaks... Read more

Panasonic DMREH50 review

This DVD recorder is bursting with supported formats -- only DVD+RW is missing -- and it offers an incredibly intuitive recording system as well as the world's best remote. But 80GB is a tad stingy for a hard drive recorder and there's no Freeview tuner or FireWire support Read more

NEC 42XR3 review

The 42XR3 is the smaller brother of one of our favourite plasmas, the 61XR3. The 42XR3 is still more expensive than most at this size, but the performance will win over anyone who has picture quality high on their list of priorities. There's no Freeview tuner or RGB Scart input though, so you'll have to wait for HD content to make the most of it Read more

Optoma MovieTime DV10 review

This 'home cinema in a box' solution -- a projector with built-in DVD player -- will suit movie fans who travel, as they can carry a complete cinema in one bag. On these terms, the MovieTime is a wholly successful experiment, and certainly helped by being excellent value for money 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
