  • Apple TV

    5 out of 5 stars

    £100Mar 2012

    Apple’s new set-top box looks just like the old one, but it’s stuffed full of new tricks that give it the edge over its aging predecessor

  • Samsung UE55ES8000

    5 out of 5 stars

    £2500Mar 2012

    This 55in Samsung is the first of a tsunami of super-smart TVs due in 2012. If any have control interfaces half as exciting as this, though, we'll be absolutely amazed

  • Philips Moth Eye TV

    5 out of 5 stars

    £2300Mar 2012

    Philips shamelessly rips off mother nature for its latest TV set

  • JBL OnBeat Xtreme

    5 out of 5 stars

    £450Mar 2012

    Still jamming your iThing into a dock to play music? Tut tut! Wireless speakers are the new hotness. Like this one

  • Iomega TV with Boxee + Network Storage

    4 out of 5 stars

    £350 (1TB)/£390 (2TB)Feb 2012

    Boxee's latest TV smartener banishes wireless worries

  • Orbitsound T12v3

    4 out of 5 stars

    £300Feb 2012

    Subtle it ain’t, but it solves two problems affordably and effectively

  • Yamaha YSP-2200

    5 out of 5 stars

    £800Feb 2012

    The YSP-2200 is the best Digital Sound Projector yet. A great home cinema solution

  • Focal XS Book

    5 out of 5 stars

    £300Feb 2012

    Need to level-up your desktop sonics? Focal thinks its XS Book speakers could be up to the job

  • Samsung HT-D6750W

    4 out of 5 stars

    £650Nov 2011

    This feature-packed system sports Wi-Fi and DLNA streaming, but can it really offer true 7.1 sound using a 5.1 set-up?

  • Panasonic SC-BTT775

    4 out of 5 stars

    £500Nov 2011

    Does this revamp of 2010’s home cinema package live up to its predecessor's high standards?

  • Sonos Play:3

    5 out of 5 stars

    £270Oct 2011

    Can the latest gadget from the wireless streaming pioneer compete with its AirPlay-packing rivals?

  • Sony BDV-E380

    4 out of 5 stars

    £350Oct 2011

    For smaller homes and more restricted budgets, the smaller Sony 5.1 system makes more sense than its larger sibling, the 880. Its picture is just as capable, while the more balanced sound – still not perfect but better, is accurate too.

  • Panasonic SC-BTT370

    5 out of 5 stars

    £355Oct 2011

    This budget system is actually a formidable listen

  • Sony BDV-E880

    4 out of 5 stars

    £500Oct 2011

    Undoubtedly a slick looking home cinema system, but up are the sonics up to scratch?
