LG LHB953

Photo gallery:LG LHB953When Blu-ray HTIBs first hit the market, they really didn't make sense as a product type. They were slow, and the value just wasn't there, as it was easy to put together superior systems from separate components. One year later, everything has changed; there are several excellent HTIBs...

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. So far our experience with Blu-ray HTIBs has been the exact opposite; almost all of the systems we've tested...

Panasonic SC-BT300

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.

Panasonic SC-BT200

Sony DAV-HDX589W

The big upgrade in home-in-a-box systems for 2009 is a built-in Blu-ray player. But those models start at $500. If you don't want to spend that much--and you're not ready for Blu-ray--there are still plenty of home theater systems with "just" DVD. Sony has three such models, each of which...
