We've tested several stand-alone video players, but the Mvisto trounces them all. Its support for a huge range of video codecs is reason enough to lust after the device. Not content to stop there, Mvisto have designed an on-screen navigation system that puts most media centres to shame 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

A great little box that proves Panasonic is at the forefront of stand-alone Blu-ray players
