Pioneer DV-989 review

With DVD players available for as little as £20, the £750 tag on Pioneer's flagship DV-989 is certain to raise eyebrows. But if you're an avid enthusiast with a high-end TV and sound system there are few players better equipped for premier performance 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

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

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

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

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-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

Panasonic DMR-ES10 review

The AV performance and quality of recordings by the ES10 can't be beaten, even by more expensive players. And with component outputs as well, this great-value recorder will even make a good accompaniment to a flat-screen display 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
