Spring must be in the air -- March was an absolutely cracking month in reviews on CNET UK, with some of the best products we've ever seen, including the highest score we've ever given a digital camera. Only the very best products get the CNET UK Editors' Choice seal of approval and these four fully deserve it.

CNET UK Editors choice March 2009 winners

Samsung UE40B7000WW
When we heard about LED edge lighting, we had reservations about the screen-thinning tech. Samsung managed to prove our fears unfounded though, by producing a TV that has excellent picture quality. What's more, it also managed to cram some amazing features into the TV, such as Yahoo Widgets and incredible media-playback support. It's not cheap, but this is a remarkable TV.

HDX 1000
Like the Popcorn Hour A-110, the HDX 1000 does everything you could possibly want a media streamer to do. It's happy playing video from your home network, an internal hard drive or even a memory card. Even more crucial is its codec support for every type of file you're likely to want to play. For video, the HDX 1000 really is brilliant.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6
The 10.1-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6 has it all. It packs a wide-angle lens that manages a longer zoom than any other camera this size, and makes no compromise to do so. It's sturdy, intuitive, and gives great shots. The TZ6 is the best of the compact world and the superzoom world -- and did we mention that amazing lens?

Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR
The F200EXR boasts a new sensor technology that uses a different layout of photocells in different situations... wait, come back! In simple terms, the F200 decides the best way to use its shooting power in different situations, giving you more control over the camera. In even simpler terms, this may be the best compact camera out there.
