| Review summary | Pioneer's DV-989 is a top-of-the-range DVD player featuring cutting-edge technology and connectivity. The price will rule it out for many but, as a partner for a compatible high-end system, very few players offer the same performance with both movies and music Read full review |
Samsung's BD-P1000 is the first Blu-ray player to arrive in the UK. High-definition image quality scales new heights using the 1080p format, but new technology always comes with an inflated price tag Read full 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 full review |
Denon's DVD-1930 features video upscaling using all hi-def resolutions, including the latest 1080p signals. It's ideal if you want to improve the performance of your existing DVDs without spending too much on a next-generation player Read full review |

Philips HTS6515
£300 buys you a very competent upscaling DVD player, with 2.1 speaker system that can produce a crisp, clear and very likeable sound
Pioneer BDP-LX71
The LX71 is a great Blu-ray player, despite a slow loading speed for interactive discs and the high price
Samsung BD-P1500
The design is pleasant, performance is good, features are impressive and the price is right
Panasonic DMP-BD35
A great little box that proves Panasonic is at the forefront of stand-alone Blu-ray players
