Denon DVD-1730 review
Denon is renowned for the tank-like construction of its components -- the entire unit of the DVD-1730 is reinforced to minimise unwanted vibrations, it could easily pass for a player costing twice as much. And if you want to improve the film quality from your new flat screen using HDMI then the DVD-1730 offers the finest picture performance at this price 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

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
