We’re always on the bleeding edge here at PC Authority, so when we heard about a 32-inch LCD television with a full PC bolted onto the back of it, we had to get it in. From the outset, it’s a dream come true, particularly for those that are due to upgrade their living room with a new TV and media PC. But is it really the way of the future? Find out in this month’s issue.

Digital SLRs are also hot property at the moment. The dramatic drop in price is only matched by the increase in performance, making this the sweet spot for amateur photographers. Our group test will tell you which ones deserve your attention.

And lastly, we have a special treat this month. We’ve spent many days compiling our view of what’s going to be hot this year. This isn’t one of those 10 years in the future stuff. This is about the technologies that will change how you work and play -- all in the next 12 months.
