Where incremental steps forward are becoming commonplace, the Sony is a giant leap – simply stunning

An older TV, but in its day one of the best picture performances we'd ever seen

Slightly older model, but the best 42in TV you can buy, full stop. Not cheap, but the quality is all up there on the screen

We think this TV is a real bargain - a good few quid cheaper than comparable models and every bit as impressive

Terrific value and a high-quality set – it’s not Full HD, but at this price, you won’t miss it

Another cracking Panasonic flatscreen, which impresses with both its integrated TV tuners and external sources

There is something totally decadent about playing your favourite PC game on a 30-inch LCD monitor with stereo sound from two banks of speakers - one on each side.

The Sony bandwagon rolls on; this is another simple to use set that produces brilliant big-screen images

The TH-46PZ81 shouldn’t be applauded only because of its features – it delivers a great plasma TV picture.

An older model, and not the best 50in Pioneer, but still better than every other 50in on the planet in its day. If you can’t manage the top-end Pioneer, this is the set to go for

The notebook winner this month was a close call. Two units stood out as being at the top of the multimedia field: the Pioneer D47K and the Acer Aspire 1802WSM. Feature-by-feature they were very closely matched, but we chose the Pioneer for several reasons, one of which was its advanced media capabilities.

Nvidia’s 8800 GTX graphics card is the crowning glory of this very-fast, great-value, PC.

Expensive but extraordinary. If God watches the telly, he does it on one of these

Award-winning TV with exceptional picture quality, although it has now been replaced by Panasonic's 2008 range

An older screen that was one of the best we'd seen, but with a price premium that was too much for us – haggle hard

This is a fine projector: easy to set-up, quiet enough in operation, and capable of superb performance for its price. It’s a must-see.

The TViX is a fairly small box, roughly about the same size as a good DVD box-set, but inside it's got some amazing smarts. This also technically isn't a media streamer as such - it's more a media cacher thanks to the 80GB hard drive inside.

An older model, but in its day, everything about this set is big and clever. If you’re big and clever too, then you’ll want to get your wallet out

An older plasma, that isn't flawless, but it offered fantastic picture quality and a quite phenomenal performance-per-pound ratio for its day.

An affordable way to get excellent frame rates.
