Reviews Features The HT-X710T's built-in slot-loading DVD player can upscale video to 720p, 1080i and 1080p resolutions via the HDMI output. The Samsung HT-X710T is a solid home theatre-in-a-box that focuses on DVD playback while offering excellent sound.

JVC LT-42DA8BJ review

Reviews When it comes to TVs, £800 is a magic number -- if you're planning to spend £1,000, it leaves some cash in the kitty for some speakers or an HD DVD or Blu-ray player to complement your new HD Ready TV.

Panasonic DMP-BD10 review

Reviews Like the Samsung Blu-ray player, the Panasonic lacks the rock-solid build quality you'd get with a DVD player in this price range -- but at least the shiny black Samsung is a lovely piece of design. Upscaled DVD playback isn't quite so impressive...

Philips LX7500R review

Reviews Think about it -- the average household is likely to have at least a DVD player/recorder, Freeview/Sky receiver and games console, while a good proportion will have an AV receiver, SACD/DVD-Audio player, hi-fi and 5.1 speaker system as well.

Samsung BD-P1000 review

Reviews The sharp-edged construction is comparatively larger and heavier than a conventional DVD player, but there's little else to distinguish this as a new breed of technology. The first player we'll see from the rival HD DVD camp is Toshiba's HD-E1, due...

Denon DVD-1730 review

Reviews By sharing similar styling to the rest of the Denon range, the design of the DVD-1730 could easily pass for a player costing twice as much. If you want improved performance with films you'll need a DVD player with video scaling, which promotes...

Panasonic DVD-LS90 review

Reviews This is useful if you are hooking the DVD player up to a TV and want to sit away from the player itself. DesignThe screen on the DVD-LS90 tilts at two separate points thanks to the spine that holds it to the player.

Sharp Aquos LC-15L1E review

Reviews You'll also have to remember to bring the wireless remote with you (a built-in caddy would have been nice), as well as the remote controls of any gear you're operating, such as a DVD player or a cable box.
