Sony Bravia KDL-V40XBR1

Earlier this year, Sony changed the name of its high-end LCD TVs from Wega to Bravia and launched a marketing campaign touting the line as "The world's first television designed for men and women." We were less than impressed with the 32-inch entry in the series, but the sleek, 40-inch flagship KDL-V40XBR1 ($3,499) is another story altogether. It delivers the best picture quality we've seen to date in a flat-panel LCD. It's still not a plasma-worthy picture and--like most Sonys--it has a premium price tag (quite a bit more than similarly sized plasmas). But if you have your heart set on an LCD--or you just really like the look of this Sony--it might be worth the price.

Pioneer DVR-533H-S

Pioneer gets just about everything right with the DVR-533H-S. The main attraction is a premiere for the category: dual-layer compatibility, which allows the deck to record to DVD-R DL media that holds nearly twice as much video (8.5GB) as a standard DVD-R disc. The Pioneer DVR-533H-S packs in numerous other essentials, including TV Guide's free electronic programming guide, easy-to-use menus, 30-second skip, high-speed video dubbing, impressive editing options, and a FireWire input.

Microsoft Xbox 360

The only next-gen console released in 2005, the Xbox 360 has made the line between PC and console gaming a lot fuzzier. Yes, this is a console, with game controllers and A/V cables that are designed to interface with your TV--preferably of the HD variety--but Microsoft has essentially packed a high-end PC gaming rig into a relatively small box that fits into any A/V rack or cabinet. That the Xbox 360 also has a user interface that rivals TiVo's in terms of slick presentation and ease of use, plus a host of digital media and networking features, helps elevate the already-good Xbox experience to a whole new level. It's currently the best console out there, but its real competition--the PlayStation 3--is right around the corner..

It has the same intuitive interface as previous iPods, but with a bigger screen and a thinner form factor. The video content available via iTunes 6 isn't all that extensive (and battery life for video is subpar), so this iPod should primarily be thought of as a music player.

Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T9

Sony combines size and style with the Cyber Shot DSC-T9. This little 6-megapixel camera can slide out of your pocket and snap photos faster than you can say "Ansel Adams." The T9's quick shutter and pretty pictures make this a worthy compact camera to squeeze into your jeans.

Palm Treo 650

Another year has passed, and there still hasn't been a smart phone to come along and dethrone the Palm Treo 650 as the king. You simply can't beat its awesome form factor and with Bluetooth, a high-resolution screen, and more multimedia capabilities, this device isn't all about looks. Yes, we know it's not perfect (no Wi-Fi), but the Treo 650 offers solid performance and is one of best smart phones we've seen to date.

Garmin iQue M5

Others have tried, but no one has really come close to perfecting the GPS/PDA combo the way Garmin has. The Garmin iQue M5, as well as the rest of the company's M series, boasts great mapping software with features such as voice-guided directions and address book integration. We just wish it didn't cost so much.

Panasonic PT-AE900U

Panasonic's relatively inexpensive PT-AE900U is a surprisingly strong performer. This three-panel LCD projector delivers true 720p HDTV resolution and can produce a good picture for the money. It has especially accurate color reproduction for an LCD projector, but its black-level performance is still relatively weak compared with that of the DLP competition. DLP models offering this resolution are significantly more expensive, however, and for the price, the Panasonic PT-AE900U is one of the best-performing front projectors we've seen this year.

Denon S-301

In addition to its drop-dead good looks, the Denon S-301 packs in pretty much every home-theater bell and whistle you could possibly want. The all-in-one system offers easy setup, creates a virtual surround effect from just two speakers, plays just about every disc format under the sun, and sounds equally superb with DVDs and CDs. But the clincher is its iPod integration: connect one using the supplied cable, and you can navigate the player's menu system on your TV screen--even if you're sitting on the sofa and using the remote. The price of the Denon S-301 may be a bit steep, but you're paying a premium for the best combination of style, sound, and features that we've seen from any HTIB to date.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT

The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT is a zippy, affordable dSLR that offers more creative control than the original and boasts an 8-megapixel CMOS sensor alongside Canon's Digic II processing engine. While the Rebel XT lacks some features found on the more solid and slightly pricier Nikon D70, the XT is the clear winner when it comes to resolution and dynamic range. The Rebel XT has been on the shelves for almost 10 months, but it's still our top choice for prosumer digital SLR, and it will probably remain so well into 2006.

JVC HD-ILA rear projection tv

70 inch screeen, micro display, high definition audio, two oblique cone speakers, digital four point colour mgmt, wide screen aspect ratio.

Tag Heuer Monaco V4

The designers at Tag Heuer have been obsessed by cars in this model - The kinetic winding system involves a valve like horizontal weight, 39 ball races and a drive belt(!). If that's a bit too wild for you, maybe you'll like the SLR Chronograph made for and inspired by the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.

Pico Penshot

The Pico Penshot shoots pictures in 640x480 and 320x240 pixels resolution, saving up to 500 images on its 8MB internal memory. When docked to your PC it can be used as a webcam (no audio) and also acts as external USB storage. Oh, and it's actually a pen too! Nice!
