What is it: 2.1 virtual surround sound system with DVD player
What we think: A stylish and convenient space-saving solution -- but it's not real surround sound

We like:
Stunning design; ease of use; decent image quality
We don't like:
Sound performance doesn't compare to true surround systems; only 1080i video upscaling
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Philips' HTS6600 is ideal for anyone who wants a stylish, inconspicuous all-in-one system. You shouldn't expect it to deliver proper surround sound from its limited speakers, though
