  CNET Review

  The Good: Streams sources to any broadband-connected Windows PC in the world; built-in wireless networking support; great integration with Windows Media Center PCs; can accept as many as four A/V inputs (composite, S-Video, RF, and component) with pass-through; no host PC or monthly charges required; simultaneous streaming to multiple clients on a LAN; controls many brands of cable and satellite boxes and DVRs; excellent video quality over LAN, decent video quality via the Internet.

  The Bad: Only compatible with Windows PCs (so far); promised HD support has yet to be activated; software and remote control options aren't as polished or thorough as those on the Slingbox; recording function and Media Center streaming doesn't work outside a LAN; device is somewhat large and unsightly; just one audio input for three inputs; monopolizes the attached device during viewing.

  The Bottom Line: It's a little rough around the edges, but the Hava Wireless HD's combination of built-in wireless and Windows Media Center integration makes it one of the more promising Slingbox competitors.

  Review Summary: Housed in a sleek glossy exterior is the 22-inch Viewsonic VX2235wm-5 whose slim frame belies its powerful performance. Promising an ultra-fast 2ms panel response time and a 4000:1 contrast ratio, we got our hands on one to see if it delivers.

  Review Summary: The ViewSonic VX223wm features fiddly controls, but strong in all other departments, from crisp visuals and eyecatching looks to a helpful menu setup.

  Review Summary: The VX2245wm really seduced us with its hub, card reader and just the integrated speakers alone. However, it does have a higher price. As for the VX2235wm, we think the competition offers better quality price ratios.
