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

Toshiba SD-490 review

For those who aren't yet ready to invest in a Blu-ray player, but want to eke as much detail as possible out of their current DVD collection, the Toshiba SD-490 is a good choice. It's cheap, it's stylish, its upscaling capability is good, and its overall picture quality is impressive Read more

Samsung DVD-HD860 review

Samsung's DVD-HD860 is essentially aimed at owners of high-definition displays who want to maximise the performance of their existing DVD collection. The player features an integrated video scaler that converts ordinary DVD films to high-definition quality 720p or 1080i standards Read more

Denon DVD-2910 review

The DVD-2910 is a serious investment at £550, but it will produce some of the most sumptuous audio and video you've ever experienced. You'll probably have to upgrade the rest of your system to make the most of it, but home entertainment doesn't get much better. 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 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

Samsung DVD-HD850 review

A DVD player that 'upscales' normal DVD video to high-definition resolution, this is an absolute must for anyone who has emptied their bank account buying a hi-def TV. With great connectivity and a beautiful picture, this is one of the bargains of the year Read more

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
