TVs
Philips 42PFL9664
Utterly brilliant. £1500 might sound a tad pricey but this is one of the most exciting sets we've seen in years
Headphones
Philips SHB9000
They're simple enough to use, but we found the sound from these Philips cans to be woefully substandard
Music servers/clients
Philips NP2900
It's got a couple of flaws and missing features, but we can't help but like this new Streamium
Blu-ray players
Philips BDP7300
Philips's first Blu-ray player lacks the crispness of the very best, but it's got a great and makes a good budget buy
TVs
Philips 32PFL9604
There's no doubt that the '9604 is a hugely impressive set, but for £999 it can't quite pick up the full five-stars
TVs
Philips Cinema 21:9 56PFL9954H
This Cinema 21:9 set looks absolutely stunning, but it's hard for it to justify its hefty price tag
Remote controls
Philips Prestigo SRT9320
The Prestigo wins brownie points by having a single set-up that's intuitive and quick to use, with no fuss
MP3 players
Philips GoGear Spark SA2940
You'll get an impressive amount of bass weight from the Philips GoGear Spark SA2940, but the overall sound needs to be more refined and subtle
TVs
Philips 42PES001
It's far from cheap, but if you want a great-looking object that's also a great-looking screen, this Philips set is for you
Headphones
Philips SHS8000/00
Good fitting headphones for the gym. As for the sound, the bottom-end is nicely taut and punchy and they're dynamic and detailed
