| Review summary | This DVD player offers everything, including amazing picture and sound quality, features left, right and centre, and a delightful style that will look great in your expensive AV setup. Although this player is expensive by Sainsbury's standards, it's far from outrageous and compared to some of the more high-end players, it's actually great value, considering the quality it delivers 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 |
Quite simply, this is one of the most sensibly priced and best-performing Blu-ray players on the market.

Panasonic SC-BTX70
Well-specified and its picture quality is first-rate, but it doesn't quite sound awesome enough to justify its cost
Sony BDP-S760
At last, we have the awesome Blu-ray player we've so long suspected Sony was capable of making
