Check out our 32in TV Supertest
Naturally we've got a Supertest of flatscreen TVs. This month we turn our attention to the hotly-contested 32in sector, with budget models from Alba, Hitachi, LG and Toshiba, and premium sets from Panasonic, Philips and Samsung. There's one clear winner, but which will it be?
If you're looking for an all-in-one Blu-ray system to go with your new TV, we've tested a trio of those too, from £450-£600. LG, Samsung and Panasonic battle it out.
Or maybe you'd rather build a system of home cinema separates? In which case don't miss our Group Test of £800-£950 multichannel receivers, in which Denon's brand-new AVR-2310 goes up against the Pioneer VSX-LX52 and Onkyo TX-NR807.
Serious hi-fi to tempt you
Of course, this wouldn't be an issue of What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision without some serious hi-fi, and there's plenty to cast your eye over. Cyrus, Moon, Naim and Roksan are the key contenders in our Group Test of £1250-£1450 stereo amplifiers, and we've been listening long and hard to speakers from i.US, Monitor Audio, Dali and Wharfedale.
In our Temptation section you'll find our verdict on the Leema Tucana II stereo amplifier, Chord Electronic's extraordinary Indigo iPod dock/DAC/preamp and an upgraded version of Clearaudio's Emotion SE turntable.
That still not enough for you? Then check out our Roundups of bargain HDMI cables and AV equipment racks.
