Samsung BD-P1000 review

Samsung's BD-P1000 is the first Blu-ray player to arrive in the UK and claims to revolutionise your viewing by displaying high-definition content in the latest 1080p standard. The image quality is undeniably impressive -- the best we've ever seen -- but only rich enthusiasts will stomach the price tag 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.

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

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

Samsung BD-P4600 review

The BD-P4600 is the fastest-loading stand-alone Blu-ray player we've come across yet. Combined with a sleek appearance, and good picture and audio quality, it all adds up to a great machine. We just wish it were slightly cheaper, although we expect the price to fall steeply over the coming months 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

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
