The March 2012 issue of What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision goes on sale today, and what a mighty fine issue it is, even if we do say so ourselves.
It's packed with all the latest tech, including the new products you can expect to see hitting the shops this year, and a preview of what's in store at the Bristol Sound & Vision Show later this month.
Mindful of the fact that everyone wants better value for their cash these days, we've pulled together a test of five amazing value 40-42in smart TVs, all for less than £650. Now that's what we call a bargain.
And if you store most of your music on a PC or laptop, don't miss our test of superb desktop speakers that will transform your listening experience. We have the latest models from B&W, Epoz and Focal.
Alternatively, how about a micro hi-fi system with the latest streaming abilities? For less than £300 you can now have a system that plays CDs, receives DAB/FM radio, docks your iPod/iPhone and will stream music over your home network.
For true hi-fi fans with a full-blown separates system, we've rounded up four gorgeous pairs of standmount speakers around the two grand mark for a no-holds-barred Group Test.
Elsewhere in the issue our Supertest focuses on one-make home cinema systems (Blu-ray player plus AV amp/receiver), priced from £1150 to £1800, with combos from Harman Kardon, Onkyo, Pioneer and Yamaha.
