Philips flagship TV from 2007 is a good benchmark, with plenty of worthwhile technology substance to fine effect alongside the original styling

Great quality and decent software. But at this price, it isn’t the best value.

Versatile but deeply uninspiring – for office use only

A bit old now, but in its day a quality TV, with a picture performance that has been a contender in the 42in plasma market

An ideal choice for the office, with good image quality and a barebones styling to keep costs down.

Fantastic quality, a flexible stand and a raft of features make the Philips worth every cent.

We simply can't expect people to pay this much for an analog-only display with little going for it.

A decent quality 20in LCD but lacking in features

Older screen, but in its day a super screen at a super price, though it's large

A reasonable option if your budget is tight, but you get what you pay for

Fine image quality and a perfect panel guarantee make this a superb choice at this price.

Frequent long distance callers could save a fortune with this.

Skype and traditional land lines bridged together. Say a gradual "au revoir" to your phone bill.

Well kitted out with a vast array of accessories, Philips' offering to the MP3 marketplace is the EXP213 CD MP3 player.

Compact, rugged and at a mere 45g (without batteries), the Philips psa[128max MP3 player, badged 'Nike', is geared towards consumers who want to get physical with good sound.

This was an extremely difficult category to judge, with pricing, components and performance playing a heavier part in the judging process because of the general disparity between models submitted.

A bog standard CD/MP3 player, with a minimal feature set. Apart from the typical controls such as resume, shuffle, repeat and so on, this player also has 'Digital Dynamic Bass Boost' which provides minimal strengthening of the bass signal.

There is little to distinguish this from the EXP322, with the exception of a wired remote for basic track controls and the ability to play games on the LCD screen similar to black and white LCD mobile phone gaming. This model also buffers up to 420 seconds at 128Kb/s, providing a more exotic anti-skip protection than the 100 seconds of the EXP322.

Philips has announced a new range of 12 LCD monitors for Christmas, in home and business lines.
