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

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

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

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 SD-360E review

Toshiba's SD-360E is one of the cheapest upscaling DVD players around. It can take a standard-resolution DVD picture and 'upconvert' it to 720p or 1080i, which it then outputs to an HD-ready TV via an HDMI cable. Its design isn't much to shout about, but its performance is more than acceptable, and at sub-£70 you can't go far wrong 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

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-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

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
