The Logitech Revue is the first stand-alone Google TV box to hit the shops in the US. The $300 (£190) box is designed to combine your TV with the whole Internet and add a smattering of TV from your cable or satellite provider. The idea is, Google ties all these things together, and does what …

There aren’t many reasons to celebrate British mobile-phone networks. One network doesn’t understand the word ‘unlimited’, one owes the British public £6bn and the rest either offer no coverage in our kitchen or cost too much to use. But T-Mobile and Orange have done something amazing — they’re letting their customers use both mobile networks. The network-sharing system will allow …

We reviewed Philips’ 21:9 TV last year, and despite our initial scepticism, we were very impressed with it. For movie buffs, it’s a superb choice of TV, with its ultra-wide ratio and impressive picture and sound quality. Now it appears Philips might be about to make it even more attractive for home-cinema fiends by adding 3D. The company demoed a …

3D this, 3D that: anyone would think the whole world was 3D or something. However you feel about the third dimension being displayed on your telly, if you’re looking for a new TV — to watch the World Cup on, for instance — it makes sense to consider 3D-capable screens. You might not care about it now, but at some …

Digital TV is undergoing its first free-to-air revolution since it launched in 1998 — Freeview is finally going high-definition, with HD channels from the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 all being offered for free. All you need is a new set-top box or a TV capable of receiving DVB-T2 transmissions, and you’ll find yourself immersed in an HD world. Freeview …

3D is nothing if not a cash-cow for companies selling both content and hardware. Despite reasonably modest costs to adapt most TVs to 3D, most manufacturers are charging decidedly immodest amounts for the addition of the extra dimension. Now Virgin has joined the bonanza by offering on-demand movies in 3D, starting with StreetDance 3D, but expanding over time to include …

Freeview HD PVRs are slowly starting to trickle on to the market at last, but our primary grumble is they’re too expensive. Especially considering there are currently only three HD channels on the service — the BBC will launch BBC One HD soon, boosting the corporation’s potential HD output, and bringing a dramatic new look to, er, EastEnders. The TVonics …

Admittedly, 3D TV doesn’t actually surround you in pictures, but it does confuse your brain into thinking that stuff is flopping out of your TV. The BDV-E370 is a home-cinema-in-a-box system, which means it contains everything you need to get started on the road to turning your living room into an Odeon rival. It’s worth pointing out that, while the …

If you’ve bought into the 3D hype, you might now be wondering which TV to buy with your hard-earned cash. Do you go for Panasonic’s superb, 50-inch, 1080p Viera TX-P50VT20B plasma TV? Or is Samsung’s stylish, 55-inch, 1080p, LED-edge-lit UE55C8000 LCD TV a better bet? Perhaps you’re wondering if Sony’s 46-inch, 1080p, LED-backlit Bravia KDL-46HX903 LCD TV beats both. To help you decide, we’ll look at …

3D is here, after much hype and many headaches — not all caused by those glasses — and Panasonic has a TV ready to support its spangly new Blu-ray player. Not only that, but there are also a whole range of new TVs with LED backlighting, Freeview HD and smart networking. Even more exciting is new plasma technology, which Panasonic …
