Sony BDP-S370 review

We really can't complain about the Sony BDP-S370. It's cheap, but this Blu-ray player offers speedy disc-load times, excellent picture and sound quality, and decent codec support. It also provides great online features, such as access to BBC iPlayer Read more

Philips BDP7500 review

The BDP7500 is slightly more expensive than many Blu-ray players currently on the market, but it's an impressive machine that's worth the extra outlay. It offers speedy disc-load times, excellent picture quality and can play back downloaded Internet video in a variety of popular codecs. It looks great too Read more

Sony BDP-S570 review

The Sony BDP-S570 is probably the best all-round Blu-ray player yet. Not only does it rock with Blu-ray discs and SACDs, it blows the doors off the brave new world of TV streaming. Having BBC iPlayer on tap is a huge attraction, and if you have media files on USB, this deck will do its utmost to play them. For the cash, you just can't carp. Read more

Sony BDP-S470 review

Although the 3D-capable Sony BDP-S470 isn't really worth considering unless you have a 3D TV, it's still a top-notch Blu-ray player, at a very reasonable price. Read more

Panasonic DMP-BD35 review

Quite simply, this is one of the most sensibly priced and best-performing Blu-ray players on the market. With the BD35, Panasonic is proving that stand-alone players can offer decent performance and other advantages such as lower power consumption, nearly silent operation and a much more sensible form factor 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

Samsung BD-P3600 review

The fantastic BD-P3600 is the fastest-loading Blu-ray player we've seen so far. It's also easy on the eye, with a sleek, curved design and excellent image quality. Its media-playback capability is a slight letdown, but the BD-P3600 would be a worthwhile addition to your home cinema Read more

Sony BDP-S350 review

Fairly priced and feature-packed, the Sony BDP-S350 has overtaken the PlayStation 3 as the cheapest and most competent Blu-ray player on the market. Besides the fact that Sony took so long to get it on the market, we don't really have any complaints about this player at all Read more
