The Bravia 7 is the second most high-end Mini LED TV in Sony’s current (and ever-expanding) TV range. As such, it inevitably loses some of the eye-catching headline specifications of the flagship Bravia 9. For instance, it has fewer local dimming zones, isn’t as bright and it has a less powerful sound system.

Epson’s projector division has been very busy in recent months. In that time it has served up a giddy mix of ultra short throw and ‘lifestyle’ coffee table projectors, but one thing has been conspicuously absent amid all the froth and fun: a new, serious home theatre projector. Happily, that changes here with the arrival of the EH-QB1000.

Review Specs Discussion #1 Read the Samsung HW-QS700F Soundbar Review. Most soundbars can be wall mounted despite speaker arrays being laid out for tabletop positioning, resulting in convenience but a compromised sound. With the HW-QS700F, Samsung has attempted to address this issue so that the sound is pristine in either orientation.

Despite Amazon doing very nicely for years now with its own range of Fire TV streaming devices, it was still a surprise when Amazon announced a couple of years back that it was launching its own range of TV sets. Shipping Amazon’s streaming services built into actual TV sets was quite the leap. Even more surprising, though, is that previous Amazon TV ranges we’ve seen have tended to be pretty good. Or, at least, great value.

The GP520 is BenQ’s latest entry into a growing – and largely welcome – trend towards all-in-one home entertainment projectors that adopt roughly cubic designs so that they can include more potent integrated audio systems alongside their king-sized pictures. It wears its square approach exceptionally well and offers an eye-catching feature set that includes 4K playback, HDR support and a Dolby Audio sound system. All for a pretty reasonable price.

Review Specs Discussion #1 Read the Samsung HW-Q990F Soundbar Review. EXCLUSIVE. After settling into something of a predictable groove with its last three or four soundbar generations, Samsung has delivered something a substantial redesign for at least one part of its new HW-Q990F 11.1.4 channel flagship.

10 OUT OF 10 Samsung HW-Q990F Soundbar Review Despite ignoring the old ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ adage, the redesigned subwoofer Samsung has included with the HW-Q990F package is actually not without a decent amount of merit and, a lack of nimbleness aside, this more living room friendly boomer is a great addition to the company's 2025 flagship soundbar. Elsewhere, things are pretty predictable with 11.1.4 channels, Q-Symphony, Dolby Atmos (including wireless) and DTS:X support,...
