Hot stuff mix: Sony KDL-46HX853, Xbox 360, Sony BDV-N590, Sky + HD

Sony KDL-46HX853
Sony has got off to a flier with its 2012 TVs, so it seems churlish not to stay 'on brand': the HX853 combines stylish looks and superb pictures.

Xbox 360
No PS3? Well, you've got Sony Music and Video Unlimited and a Blu-ray player on the cinema system, so fire-up Xbox Live in surround sound instead.

Sony BDV-N590
A master of all trades, the N590 delivers sterling audio and video performance plus an exhaustive selection of smart features at a knockdown price.

Sky + HD
If the N590 takes care of the sound and the Sony TV ensures a great picture, why not let the Sky box give you something to watch, with over 50 HD channels and a handful of decent 3D options.

NEW NOISE: Sony F800 Walkman

The 80s is having a revival right now, so what better time to "hang in a buffalo stance," listening to Yazoo on a Walkman? This one packs Android, Wi-Fi and a 3.5-inch touchscreen rather than a three-band graphic equaliser, and stores music on 8GB, 16GB or 32GB of RAM rather than stretchy cassette tapes. Other than that, it's identical to its heroic forebears in every way.
