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

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

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

Philips DVDR3305 review

The Philips DVDR3305 is a solidly contructed disc recorder with the aesthetic styling of the higher end of Philips' range, but it will only set you back £125. It's well dressed with an attractive silver fascia that will look fantastic beneath a CRT or flatscreen television, and features a smattering of useful controls Read more

Toshiba XD-E500 review

If you're looking to make the most of your DVD collection but you aren't up for a Blu-ray player, this Toshiba upscaling DVD player may be a good bet. Play with the three different upscaling modes to find your ideal picture, but watch out for some behavioural problems Read more
