| Review summary | The BDP-LX71 screams quality and at £600 we should hope so, too. It's an excellent player with superb picture and sound quality. It has wonderfully simple menu systems that are a breeze to configure and we love the connectivity options. If money is no object, and you already have a Pioneer TV, you should buy one. If you're in recession mode, perhaps a Panasonic might be more suitable 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 |
The PlayStation 3 is no longer the only Sony Blu-ray player you should consider buying. As well as offering an up-to-the-minute feature set, Sony's stand-alone BDP-S760 leaves the company's games console for dead in the all-important picture and sound departments Read full review |

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
