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 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

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

If you're sick of the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray battle and just want to play your existing film collection, the Oppo DV-981HD may provide the cure. DVDs look and sound so good on this player that you might forget you're not watching an HD DVD. Make an appointment to see the difference 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

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

Denon DVD-2910 review

The DVD-2910 is a serious investment at £550, but it will produce some of the most sumptuous audio and video you've ever experienced. You'll probably have to upgrade the rest of your system to make the most of it, but home entertainment doesn't get much better. Read more
