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

Philips DVDR3305 review
The Philips DVDR3305 is a solidly contructed disc recorder with the aesthetic styling of the higher end of Philips' range, but it will only set you back £125. It's well dressed with an attractive silver fascia that will look fantastic beneath a CRT or flatscreen television, and features a smattering of useful controls 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

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

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

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

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

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

Panasonic DMR-ES10 review
The AV performance and quality of recordings by the ES10 can't be beaten, even by more expensive players. And with component outputs as well, this great-value recorder will even make a good accompaniment to a flat-screen display Read more
