Toshiba HD-E1 review
Although the Xbox HD DVD drive add-on beat it to launch by a few weeks, Toshiba's slim, compact HD-E1 is to all intents and purposes the UK's first HD DVD player. The build quality is solid, and compared to the first Blu-ray players we've seen, this is affordable high definition Read more

Denon DVD-1930 review
While others are embroiled in the HD DVD/Blu-ray format war, Denon has ignored the hype and concentrated on improving standard-definition delivery.

Denon DVD-1730 review
Denon is renowned for the tank-like construction of its components -- the entire unit of the DVD-1730 is reinforced to minimise unwanted vibrations, it could easily pass for a player costing twice as much. And if you want to improve the film quality from your new flat screen using HDMI then the DVD-1730 offers the finest picture performance at this price Read more

JVC DR-MH300 review
JVC's DR-MH300 offers almost every recording option imaginable -- use either the 160GB hard disk drive or software discs using DVD-RAM or –R/RW formats and there's lots of editing and dubbing functions -- useful if you're a budding camcorder Spielberg. It also upscales to hi-def resolution using an HDMI output Read more

Toshiba SD-360E review
Toshiba's SD-360E is one of the cheapest upscaling DVD players around. It can take a standard-resolution DVD picture and 'upconvert' it to 720p or 1080i, which it then outputs to an HD-ready TV via an HDMI cable. Its design isn't much to shout about, but its performance is more than acceptable, and at sub-£70 you can't go far wrong Read more

Sony RDR-HX725 review
The HX725 offers the versatility of disc and hard drive recording, a full range of easy to use functions and superior style and build quality -- and recordings are impressively accurate to the original. It is lacking an integrated digital tuner though, and this exclusion causes usability and performance issues Read more
