- Panasonic DMP-BD30
- While the majority of home movie watchers avoids Blu-ray because of the ongoing format war and high costs, AV enthusiasts lately have been hesitant to pick up a new Blu-ray player for another reason: They've been waiting for the impending Blu-ray Profile 1.1. All Blu-ray players certified to bear that...

- Toshiba XD-E500
- When Toshiba finally pulled the plug on HD DVD, nobody was quite sure what the next step for the company was going to be. Would it go back to making DVD players, or would it forget the tensions of the format war and release a Blu-ray player? Well, instead of...

- LG 50PG20
- The LG 50PG20 is the company's least expensive 50-inch plasma, competing against similar entry-level models from Samsung and Panasonic. It doesn't have the 1080p resolution of higher-priced plasmas, but we didn't really miss that extra detail. What we did miss with this LG, namely deep black levels and more accurate...

- Insignia NS-BRDVD
- Pundits debate whether Blu-ray will be as successful as DVD, but they're relatively united on one issue: the prices of the players need to drop before the format takes off. The Insignia NS-BRDVD is part of a new breed of bargain players we've seen this year, and its $300 list...

- Toshiba D-R410 - DVD recorder
- DVD-recorders have lost most of their relevance. Between DVRs and online video services like Hulu, couch potatoes can already record their favorite shows, and archiving seems less and less attractive now that everything is released on DVD or available online. Still, DVD-recorders do have their place, as many bristle at...

- Panasonic Viera TC-26LX85
- Although CNET did not review the 26-inch Panasonic Viera TC-26LX85, we did review the 32-inch Panasonic TC-32LX85. Judging from their spec sheets the two Panasonic front-panel LCDs are basically identical but for screen size and panel luminance, so we expect the review of the 32-inch model to give a good...

- Sony BDP-S350
- Sony has been the public face of Blu-ray since the format's inception, and while most of the focus during the bitter Blu-ray vs. HD DVD format war was on the company's PlayStation 3, Sony has been making standalone Blu-ray players from the start, beginning with the $1,000 BDP-S1. Unfortunately, that...

- Panasonic Viera TC-32LX85
- Coming from a company known more for its plasma HDTVs, the Panasonic TC-32LX85 is a pleasant surprise in the 32-inch LCD category. Attractively designed and well appointed with generous connectivity, it is also a good performer overall, although by no means perfect. I was particularly impressed with the set's color...

Now, however, prices are on the decline again, opening up bigger screen sizes to lower price ranges. For example, Toshiba's lowest-priced 1080p 42-inch LCD, the 42RV530U, can be purchased...
