| Review summary | Measurable bulk and pricey 160GB version aside, the do-it-all Archos 504 is an awesome AV performer Read full review |
It's taken a relative newcomer to show the old timers how to do things right. PQI hasn't been in the mainstream long, but its P600 blows away the competiton like a nuclear bomb. Feature-wise, there's nothing more to ask for here. A few tweaks to the user-interface and PQI could just push this product from merely impressive to spectacular Read full review |
It's not perfect, but the AV420 is by far the best portable video player we've seen Read full review |
The Babel Fish of portable video players -- there are very few codecs that this can't cope with. The mPack's screen is sharper and significantly more vibrant than anything else we've looked at in the world of handhelds. Best of all, there's no need to recompress your video for playback. This is an interesting offering from a relative newcomer to the scene Read full review |

Toshiba BDX2000
Offers excellent value for money, especially if you buy it in time to take advantage of the LoveFilm deal
Panasonic DMP-BD45
Its pictures are great and it looks good, but it has zero extra features and costs far too much
Panasonic DMP-BD65
Great little machine that does the important things very well and offers a few tasty extras
Humax HD-FOX T2
Great, if a little expensive for most people, given the small number of hi-def channels broadcast on Freeview
