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

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

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

Samsung BD-P3600 review

The fantastic BD-P3600 is the fastest-loading Blu-ray player we've seen so far. It's also easy on the eye, with a sleek, curved design and excellent image quality. Its media-playback capability is a slight letdown, but the BD-P3600 would be a worthwhile addition to your home cinema 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 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

Panasonic DMP-BD10 review

Following Samsung's BD-P1000, this is only the second Blu-ray player to arrive in Europe. It delivers hi-def pictures up to a resolution of 1080p, as well as 7.1-channel surround sound. At £1,100, the DMP-BD10 has some real impressing to do to justify that outlay 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
