- Mio Moov Spirit V505 TV review A reasonable navigation device, but the TV interface is poorly designed, there's no headphone socket and it can't be used on the move£170
- Panasonic Viera TX-L32D28BP review Good looking and packed with features including Freeview HD and Freesat.£998
- TechSmith Camtasia Studio 7 review A powerful screen recording tool that's very easy to use. It's expensive, though, and for this reason misses out on an award.£220
- Panasonic DMP-B100EB-S review It isn't cheap, but it's a great portable player that plays a lot more than just Blu-ray movies£349

- best buyTomTom Go 550 Live review Yet another great satnav from TomTom which, despite lacking some of its predecessors’ features, still wins a Best Buy award.£184
- recommendedHDRSoft Photomatix Light review An inexpensive introduction to HDR photography which includes enough control to make it great value.£28

- BT Vision+ review The new Vision+ box is better looking than the old, but brings little else to the table bar lower power consumption.£199
- Humax HD-Fox T2 review It's the simplest way to get HD, but it's expensive considering it only has a single tuner.£170
- Vexia econav 480 UK & Ireland review The econav provides great navigation and the potential to improve your fuel economy, but it's not without its shortfalls£180
- Iiyama ProLite B2712HDS review The B2712HDS cuts an imposing figure on your desk, but the image quality isn't the best£300
- Asus MS236H 23in widescreen monitor review A great-looking 23in display, but it's let down by annoying touch-sensitive controls and distinctly average image quality.£216
