Typical price: £1,000
What is it: A high-definition disc player that supports both Blu-ray and HD DVD
What we think: LG deserves credit for sidestepping the format war, but the steep price and lack of support for proper HD DVD menus are its undoing

| Review summary | Picture quality is great on both HD DVD and Blu-ray and if this player cost £500 instead of £1,000 we'd recommend it. As it is, however, it's just too much to pay for something that doesn't support proper HD DVD menus 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 |
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 |
If you've got the desire and the bank balance to put together a really serious home-cinema kit, complete with a tip-top sound system and truly massive TV or projector, Pioneer's BDP-LX91 Blu-ray player is eminently qualified to become your system's heart and lungs 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
