Panasonic SC PT750 home theater system

Panasonic offers at least half a dozen home-theater-in-a-box systems HTIBs for 2007, and telling the difference between them can sometimes be a challenge.

Those buyers will find LG's LHT764, a fully...

2007 Ford Escape Hybrid

When we sampled the 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid earlier this year, we came away impressed with the small SUV's advanced drivetrain and its tangible efficiency benefits. The premium it commanded over a comparable Escape with an internal combustion engine was also substantial, and ultimately we questioned whether the step up...

Panasonic SC-HT640W

The Panasonic SC-HT640W boasts a singular "gotta have" feature unequalled by most home-theater-in-a-box systems HTIBs selling for a lot more than the Panasonic's $300 list price: wireless surround speakers. Or to be more precise, its wireless surround speaker--the two rear surround channels emanate from a single wedge-shaped box that you...

Is Sprint Clearwire a game changer?

If you combine the cost of today's fixed and mobile broadband you pay $130/month, after taxes. If Clearwire can bring that in for half the price, with equal service and a decent TOS, I would switch in a heartbeat. by Dana Blankenhorn

Samsung HT-TZ512T

In terms of value, it's hard to beat a home-theater-in-a-box HTIB system.
