Blu-ray players

In the BDP3100, Philips has produced a great Blu-ray player that's only really beaten on price by its leading rival

A solid spec, great performance and reasonable price-tag – but we do have a few reservations

Blu-ray Product of the Year, Awards 2010. This superb 3D performer serves up images full of depth, as well as nimble, full-bodied sound

In its own right this is a great Blu-ray player, but we simply can't recommend it at such an exorbitant price

Best Blu-ray/HDD recorder, Awards 2010. It's not often we see a product as complex as this Panasonic Blu-ray recorder

Sitting at a very reasonable £190, this LG Blu-ray spinner certainly does much right, but in a highly competitive market that's just not enough

While this Panasonic does much right, there's no denying that spending a tiny bit more will get you more bang for your hard-earned buck

This Samsung is certainly stylish, but suffers from some of the faults of its cheaper sibling, meaning it just can't compete

Best Blu-ray player up to £150, Awards 2010. Aggressively priced and exceptionally gifted.

If we were going to mark this player on features alone, then it would get top marks – but the sound and vision here are sadly well below par
