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

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

Toshiba BDX2100 review

The Toshiba BDX2100 is a decent Blu-ray player, but not one that has us jumping with excitement. As great as it is to see a player for £80, we think Sony's £100 machines offer significantly more, for not much extra cash. Read more

Panasonic DMP-B15 review

Watching Blu-ray movies on an 8.9-inch screen is a seemingly ridiculous proposition, but the DMP-B15 won us over in the end. As well as delivering the best pictures we've ever seen on a portable device, it also functions as an excellent living-room player when connected to a TV via its HDMI port Read more

Panasonic DMP-BDT310 review

The Panasonic DMP-BDT310 is a great Blu-ray player with enough features to keep even the most enthusiastic users entertained for a long time. It's not the cheapest machine on the market, though. 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

Toshiba BDX2000 review

The BDX2000 is a decent Blu-ray player at an affordable price. Support for more video codecs and YouTube playback would be welcome, but its picture quality is excellent. Also, if you buy it soon enough, you'll be able to get a year's free subscription to LoveFilm, making this player even better value for money Read more

LG DP391B review

LG's demurely named DP391B deserves a more conspicuous moniker -- it's easily one of the best portable DVD players we've ever seen. With a glorious screen, handy kickstand and tonnes of features, including DivX playback and photo display, it's just the thing for dull journeys Read more

Samsung BD-P1500 review

The Samsung BD-P1500 is dirt cheap at around £170, and it has a certain charm with its rounded edges and bold controls. A good choice of features and the ability to play 1080/24p pictures effortlessly on your TV make the P1500 a promising option for people looking to switch to Blu-ray players Read more
