- Sonim XP3 Quest (unlocked)
- Photo gallery:Sonim XP3 QuestThe Sonim XP3 Quest is the update to the Sonim XP1 that we reviewed last year. If you thought the XP1 was strong--and believe us when we say that it was--the XP3 goes a step further by being completely waterproof like the G'zOne handsets. If that isn't...

- LG LHB953
- Photo gallery:LG LHB953When Blu-ray HTIBs first hit the market, they really didn't make sense as a product type.

- Samsung HT-BD1250
- Photo gallery:Samsung HT-BD1250DVD home-theater-in-box systems seem to offer a lot of value from the spec sheet, but are often seriously disappointing in use, with lackluster audio and video being the norm.

- Photo gallery:Panasonic SC-BT300Panasonic released one of the first Blu-ray home-theater-in-a-box HTIB systems in 2008, the SC-BT100, but we didn't bother to review it.

That's why a home-theater-in-a-box HTIB system like the Panasonic SC-BT200 feels like such an incredible deal--with a street price as low as $450, you get a 7.1 speaker system plus a slimline AV...
