19in widescreen LCD TV which shows much promise and is Dell’s first consumer offering in Australia. Spec-wise it looks quite good on paper, with 450cd/m2 brightness, 600:1 contrast ratio and 1280 x 768 widescreen resolution, and it doesn’t disappoint when fired up.

Two TV tuners on a single PCIe board, without the usual headaches and hassle.

Compro's VideoMate Gold TV may be an analog TV tuner card, but it's got one feature that alone makes it better then the DTV cards reviewed - it has a power pass-through for your PC's power switch.

A good-looking, ergonomically excellent laptop with a wealth of multimedia capabilities for home users.

If you must have the biggest, it’s great – but lose a couple of inches and you’ll get an even better performance

Flexible, beautifully designed and reasonably priced. An excellent attempt to attract the masses.

As well as TV viewing (an analog tuner is built in) this screen's strength comes from its LCD-ness which makes it awesome for plugging into a PC (Media Center, anyone?) or for components like digital set-top boxes or DVD players.

A flexible and powerful livingroom PC that ticks almost all the right boxes, as well as being great value.

There’s only so many times I can herald the coming switch from analog TV broadcasts to digital, so I’ll just dig straight into this impressive digital television card.

A wireless music player that performs audio magic through its LCD enabled remote control. It’s easy to use, quick to setup but lacks video functionality. But we still really liked it.

Great design and comprehensive features make it a truly great Media Center PC. Only the price lets it down.

The Qosmio is the absolute pinnacle in multimedia notebooks. It brings everything you need for a good Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) system and squeezes it into a notebook form-factor.

Yes the Qosmio is a huge and heavy notebook, but it's not nearly as heavy as it would have been if it was packed with desktop internals as many desknotes of this size usually are.

Eye-catching and very well designed, the new iMac is an excellent all-in-one PC system.

Now that Blu-ray has won the format war and recorders are hitting the shelves, Panasonic's DMR-BW500 HDD/Blu-ray recorder with twin HD TV tuners is looking mighty nice indeed. For high-def buffs this is one with the lot.
