Review Summary |
It's got a few shortcomings, but movie buffs with large DVD libraries will find this a great way to add surround sound to their home theater set-ups--particularly if wireless rear speakers are a necessity. |
The Denon AVR-1910 is a fully featured midrange A/V receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality. |
The Samsung HT-BD8200 is a truly solid performer and is worth considering if it fits in with your current equipment stylistically. But it's not the best-specced machine in terms of connectivity. |
With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag, and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package for an affordable price. |
