Oppo DV-980H review

First things first -- we love this DVD player for ignoring DVD region coding. But that isn't all it does: the Oppo DV-980H does just about everything else, too, including producing 1080p pictures. It may be expensive, but for what you're getting, it's great value and will be worth it for those who want to watch their DVDs in amazingly high quality Read more

LG DP391B review

LG's demurely named DP391B deserves a more conspicuous moniker -- it's easily one of the best portable DVD players we've ever seen. With a glorious screen, handy kickstand and tonnes of features, including DivX playback and photo display, it's just the thing for dull journeys Read more

Toshiba HD-EP35 review

A very well-specified mid-range HD DVD player, the Toshiba HD-EP35 offers analogue 5.1 audio, 1080p and 24p picture mode. Setup (apart from Internet features) is very easy, and most importantly it boasts tremendous picture quality. It's much better value than the XE1, as well Read more

Toshiba HD-EP30 review

The Toshiba HD-EP30 has much to live up to and with 1080p playback, it's well on its way. It also supports 24p out of the box, not to mention DTS HD, Dolby True HD and Dolby Digital Plus output options. With great detail and accurate colours on HD DVD, this Toshiba beats the hype Read more

If you're sick of the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray battle and just want to play your existing film collection, the Oppo DV-981HD may provide the cure. DVDs look and sound so good on this player that you might forget you're not watching an HD DVD. Make an appointment to see the difference Read more

Pioneer BDP-LX70 review

You can't argue with the stunning picture quality, great build, 1080p/24 support and PC network compatibility of the Pioneer BDP-LX70 Blu-ray player. It will reproduce every pixel of detail from remastered DVDs and delivers hi-fi performance from Blu-ray soundtracks and CDs Read more

Toshiba HD-XE1 review

Toshiba's HD-XE1 is an HD DVD player that can display 1080p high-definition video. It's exceptionally well-built, features a good range of connections and the picture quality is excellent -- if only it supported Blu-ray too... Read more

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. The DVD-1930's class-leading build quality and all-round performance mean you can get close to hi-def quality without paying inflated prices for a next generation player Read more
