Review Summary |
The Pioneer BDP-120 Blu-ray player boasts fine video and audio capabilities, but its frustrating operational quirks make this player an also-ran. |
More info |
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. |
The LG DA-W5100 wireless home theatre system is a decent system that performs well with both audio and video. |
