LG BH200

When LG introduced the first HD DVD/Blu-ray combo player at CES 2007, it was a groundbreaking moment in consumer electronics. Nobody expected a combo player to be released so soon, and at the time it seemed that maybe it was a way to avoid a long, protracted format war. Fast-forward...

Olevia 252T FHD

Vizio and Westinghouse have become relatively well-known brands among the hundreds of flat-panel LCD makers most people haven't heard of, and Olevia also deserves credit for establishing its name as well. The company has dropped the old name "Syntax"--definitely not an error--and released a slew of models, including the 52-inch...

JVC LT-47X898

Last year, JVC was the first company to come out with an LCD that boasted a 120Hz refresh rate, a feature that's supposed to reduce blurring in fast motion. In 2007 the follow-up 120Hz models are found in the company's flagship LT-X898 series. The largest member of that series, the...

Nyko Blu-Wave Infrared Remote (PS3)

The PlayStation 3 is arguably one of the most advanced home consumer entertainment products ever, but it's missing one of the most rudimentary features found on every $40 DVD player: an infrared remote sensor. That means that you can't control the PS3 with a traditional universal remote; you're instead forced...

LG RC797T SuperMulti DVD/VHS Recorder

You've probably noticed that DVD/VHS recorders haven't dropped in price as much as you'd expect for technology that's been around for several years. One of the major reasons for the relatively high price this year is that all DVD/VHS recorders that include an analog TV tuner also must include a...

Vizio GV47LF HDTV

Native resolution, which on HDTV spec sheets usually refers to the number of physical pixels used to create the picture, comes in two basic flat-panel LCD flavors: 1,366x768 and 1,920x1,080. The latter, known as 1080p, has become increasingly common even among relatively inexpensive models, and Vizio's GV47LF HDTV is one...

Test-taking by clicker gains acceptance

Vizio L37HDTV

Thanks to extremely aggressive pricing, Vizio has risen to become one of the most-popular flat-panel TV brands out there. HDTVs priced as low as the 37-inch flat-panel Vizio L37HDTV ($1,399 and falling) usually have a few major issues with features or picture quality. Vizio has struck a winning balance in...

Humax LD2060

It's a common refrain: consumer electronics are too complicated and cumbersome for the average user. And even if you're a "power user" who enjoys the latest and greatest tech gear, you've still got to deal with the inevitable rat's nest of cables and wires that invades your living space once...

Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ850U

Ever since we gave the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U an Editors' Choice award as our favorite plasma HDTV so far, we've been bombarded by variations of the same question: "Is the more expensive TH-50PZ850U better?" After finally getting the chance to review the 850U, our answer is "no." The TH-50PZ850U is the...

Dish Network DTVPal

The FCC has pushed back the DTV transition several times already, but it looks as if over-the-air analog TV signals will actually end on February 19, 2009. That means owners of analog TV will need to pony up for a DTV converter box if they want to continue getting their...

Samsung SP-A800B

Samsung's flagship one-chip DLP-based home theater projector, the SP-A800B, takes accuracy of signal reproduction to a new level. My previous reference projector, the Samsung SP-H710AE, was designed by Joe Kane, and that well-known video guru and author of Digital Video Essentials also designed the SP-A800B. While the 710E is spectacularly...

Philips 42PFL5603D

At the Consumer Electronics Show this year we selected the Philips 42PFL5603D as the best product overall because it addressed one big issue with today's flat-panel HDTVs: power consumption. Now that we've tested the "Eco TV," we can confirm that it does indeed use less power than any flat TV...

Business PCs are going nowhere fast

"Everything that can be invented has been invented." If Charles Duell, in 1888 the Commissioner for the U.S. patent office, actually said that, then he would, of course, have been wrong; but I think the claim may have some applicability to the business PC in 2008....

Toshiba Regza 32CV510U

One of Toshiba's least expensive flat-panel TVs for 2008, the 32-inch 32CV510U defines the phrase "good enough." Its picture outclassed that of the cheapest such set we've tested this year, the Insignia's NS-LCD32-09, but many people buying at this screen size are probably shopping more on price than picture quality...
