Sony BDP-S470 review

Although the 3D-capable Sony BDP-S470 isn't really worth considering unless you have a 3D TV, it's still a top-notch Blu-ray player, at a very reasonable price. Read more

Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD review

The Cambridge Audio Azur 751BD is a 3D-ready Blu-ray player aimed at audiophiles. It sounds heavenly with pretty much any disc you feed it, but it also delivers fabulous hi-def video and can stream almost every type of media via a LAN or from USB. It's undeniably fine, but expensive. Read more

Panasonic DMP-BD35 review

Quite simply, this is one of the most sensibly priced and best-performing Blu-ray players on the market. With the BD35, Panasonic is proving that stand-alone players can offer decent performance and other advantages such as lower power consumption, nearly silent operation and a much more sensible form factor Read more

Sony BDP-S350 review

Fairly priced and feature-packed, the Sony BDP-S350 has overtaken the PlayStation 3 as the cheapest and most competent Blu-ray player on the market. Besides the fact that Sony took so long to get it on the market, we don't really have any complaints about this player at all 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

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

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

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
