Wiim Ultra review: spectacular streamer

Wiim's new flagship streamer is stunning to look at and listen to. Only its lack of AirPlay keeps it from perfection.

Google Chromecast 2020 review: What we always wanted

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max review: second-generation success

The second-generation Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the one to get. It doesn't break the bank, and has an excellent new Ambient Experience.

D-Link Wi-Fi Audio Extender review

D-Link’s Wi-Fi Audio Extender does a great job of bringing wireless audio to an older speaker or stereo system, but it’s worth as a Wi-Fi extender is dodgy at best.

Blackmagic Design’s Zoom-ready HDMI switcher has no right to be this cool

The Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro (and cheaper, non-Pro version) is the multicamera streaming solution for the rest of us, and it's an absolute blast.

Disney+ review update: Streamer finds its footing

Disney+ arrived on time and loaded with all (or at least most) of Disney's best work. We dig deep into the Disney+ weeds to suss out the good and the bad.

Amazon Fire TV Stick review

Amazon is giving Roku a run for its money with the Fire TV Stick, a $40 device about the size of a pack of gum that grants 1080p HD access to a wide array of content and games. If you’re an Amazon Prime member already, this is a no-brainer.

Google Nexus Player by Asus review

The good news is: Google’s third attempt at a set-top streaming box is its best yet, and it has the potential to do very well in the future. The bad news: The Nexus Player is a disappointment at launch and not worth rushing to buy.

Panasonic BDT360 review

There’s something to be said for a mid-tier Blu-ray player like the BDT360 when it comes to build quality and bonus features. If you’re looking for a device to act as the hub of your Internet-connected entertainment system, you can find a lot of value in the middle ground.

Amazon Fire TV review

When Amazon introduced its new Fire TV streaming set-top box, it looked like it might be able to knock Roku right off its perch as the player to beat. Now that we’ve had a chance to thoroughly test the Fire TV, we learn it isn’t exactly a Roku killer, but it’s still a terrific competitor with tremendous potential.

Apple TV Review (2012)

The 2012 revamp of the Apple TV brings better performance and a new interface, but still leaves users high and dry for much content outside iTunes.

Amazon’s Alexa Voice Remote Pro review: put it in the box already!

The Amazon Alexa Voice Remote Pro is the best Fire TV remote — which is a shame because you'll have to pay extra for it.

Apple TV 4K (2021) review: It’s all about that new Siri remote

Apple TV 4K (2017) review: Stunning, but strictly for Apple fans

The Apple TV 4K is fast, it packs Siri voice search, and offers support for all of the latest formats. But can Apple still justify its stratospheric price?

Roku Express 4K+ review: Easy, affordable 4K streamer

Roku's latest media streaming device might be tiny, but inside where it counts, the Express 4K+ is a powerhouse with 4K, HDR, AirPlay, and voice control.

Sony UBP-X700 review

If you're after the best possible picture for your 4K TV, you're still going to need an Ultra HD Blu-ray player. With a compact form factor, good remote, extremely easy setup, and support for both HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats, the Sony UBP-X700 may be just the ticket.

Amazon Fire TV Cube review

Amazon Fire TV Cube goes far beyond being an Echo/Fire TV stick hybrid. Thanks to HDMI CEC control, an IR blaster, and a new user interface, the Fire TV Cube can take even the most complicated entertainment system and simplify it so just about anyone can use it. And now it has native YouTube, too.
