Sony Bravia KDL-40E4000 review

Sony is clearly attempting to appeal to people with a broader aesthetic with its 40E4000 LCD TV, as its design is anything but the usual slab a black plastic that most people have in their living rooms. With good speaker quality and very watchable DVD upscaling, this TV has much to offer beyond its unique style Read more

Sony Bravia ZX1 (KDL-40ZX1) review

The 40-inch Sony Bravia KDL-40ZX1 LCD TV with LED edge lights looks stunning and is remarkably thin. Also capable of receiving a 1080i signal wirelessly -- which means less cable clutter -- it's a good choice if you want a TV whose mere appearance will make your friends insanely jealous Read more

Sony BDP-S500 review

The Sony BDP-S500 Blu-ray player is an excellent performer. Both standard definition and high definition material alike looks beautiful, providing scenes with sharpness and strong colour. Audio quality is also crisp, but does this player measure up to the PlayStation 3? Read more

Sony STR-DA1200ES review

Sony recognises just how good a receiver the STR-DA1200ES is and has extended its shelf life. It offers outstanding ability with practically everything you play and has all the features you'll need. The sound quality on film soundtracks is sensational, even at high volumes Read more
