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 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

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

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

Pioneer BDP-LX70 review

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

Onkyo BD-SP807 review

The Onkyo BD-SP807 is a high-end Blu-ray player that offers excellent picture and sound quality, a sturdy design and a wealth of video and audio outputs. It's expensive and its remote control has all the visual appeal of an infected wound, but it'll almost certainly satisfy AV fanatics 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

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
