LG Electronics HB965TZ

Zitat: Pro: + Stylish design + built-in wi-fi connectivity + punchy, clear sound + colourful, detailed images Contra: - No automated setup

Zitat: Great features and even better sound quality, but we could do without the eerie whistling noises

Zitat: + Gute Bildqualität + Viele Inhalte über Netzwerk und Internet + Zahlreiche Anschlüsse, WLAN integriert + Tolle Dynamik, feine Musikauflösung - Schwacher Grundton bei Center und Satelliten - Kein satter Tiefbass - Spielt keine 3D-Blu-ray-Discs ab

Zitat: + Sehr gutes Blu-ray- und DVD-Bild + Sehr stabile Standboxen - Leicht hohler Klang durch mangelnden Bass - Knappes Optionsmenü

Zitat: Pros: + Attractive speakers + picture and sound quality + features + HDMI inputs + fast disc loading + built-in Wi-Fi Cons: - OLimited NetCast content - sluggish onscreen menus After such a closely fought contest, choosing a winner is tough. All four manufacturers have crammed their systems with so many cutting-edge features that they almost make Blu-ray playback feel like a sideline. What´s more, each system does a faultless job of reproducing hi-def pictures and their operating systems are universally impressive. Bringing up the rear is Panasonic, due to the disappointing build quality of the speakers, which translates into flawed sound quality. It´s also a shame that you need to fork out for a USB dongle to get Wi-Fi - once you´ve factored in the price of that it´s almost the same price as the Wi-Fi equipped and superior-sounding LG HB965TZ. Next in line is the Samsung HT-C6500, a stylish system that earns kudos for its integrated Wi-Fi, wide range of web content and stellar format support. What keeps it in third place is the sound quality, which isn´t bad by any means but is just a little rougher round the edges than the Sony and LG. It´s a close call between the remaining two systems. Sony´s BRAVIA Internet Video offers a better selection of content than LG´s NetCast, plus Sony´s Xross Media Bar is slicker than LG´s gorgeous-looking but sluggish menus. Ultimately though, the LG is the all-round better package - it´s more attractive, comes with built-in Wi-Fi and, most importantly, boasts better sound quality thanks to its superior subwoofer.
