Panasonic and Samsung are two key players fighting for a spot in your lounge room. We compare 37 inch Full HD units from both brands.

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

Much like the PC and component market, mobile phones have a product lifecycle that changes so rapidly it's hard to keep up. Panasonic has stayed with their tried and true clamshell design, first made popular by the GD88 and continued with the X700. This handset turns their previous generations upside down, offering Panasonic's first smart phone based on Symbian OS version 7.0.

Key improvements over the SD5 make this a still more enticing pocket HD camcorder prospect

If you don't care about recording to disc, you'd be better off with a TiVo. If you're looking for an all-rounder to tide you over until Blu-ray prices fall, Panasonic's DMR-XW300 has a lot to offer.

A dinky AVCHD camcorder, with respectable video performance and a reasonable price.

It may not be a looker, but in all other respects this Panasonic is a stunning camera

Who would have thought that this projector would be this cheap.

If you’ve the money and dream of owning a humungo-wall-telly, then the Panasonic will go a long way to fulfilling your dreams

Award-winning TV with exceptional picture quality, although it has now been replaced by Panasonic's 2008 range

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

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

Mid-range priced but fully featured, Panasonic's EB-VS3 is our new favourite chatbrick.

Panasonic's new business projector, the PT-LB10NTE is a stunning little unit for its price and size. It features a bright 2000 ANSI lumens rating - powerful enough that the projection is clearly legible even with the fluorescent boardroom lights on, and a wide 500:1 contrast ratio.

While the camera looks like it needs flares and has a name like it never made it off the drawing board there are some features that make this camera an attractive buy

Tough enough to tear through concrete and built like US military hardware, this is the ultimate DIY drill

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

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

A remarkably tough machine that will endure almost anything thrown at it, although this comes at a price.

The Panasonic NV-GS15 is the cheaper version of the NV-GS120, but you wouldn't pick it to look at them. It is not until you start to use it that you discover why it is $600 cheaper than its big brother with the three CCD's. The single, 800,000 (400,000 effective) pixel CCD produces average picture quality and certainly nothing that would compare with the 1.62 million (1.02 million effective) of the NV-GS120.
