Philips DVP5960 review

Reviews Even at a time when prices of DVD players are at an all-time low, paying £60 for a model that features video upscaling and HDMI digital connectivity is almost unbelievable. HDMI offers unrivalled picture and sound quality in the convenience of a...

Philips 32PFL9632D review

Reviews The first model to sport Philips' new Perfect Pixel HD Engine processing system, the Philips 32PFL9632D 32-inch LCD also comes with Ambilight and no fewer than three HDMI inputs, so it's clearly not your average entry-level gogglebox.

Samsung HT-X30 review

Reviews It's a 5.1 DVD home cinema system with HDMI, a USB port as well as DVD-Audio and DivX playback. Around the back you'll find a decent array of video connection options including Scart, composite, component and that all important HDMI connection.

Sony PlayStation 3 (60GB) review

Reviews A composite AV cable ships with the unit, and because it uses the same connector as the PlayStation 2, that system's S-Video and component cables should work with it as well (to get hi-def video, you'll need component or HDMI).

Dell Studio 17 review

Reviews It has a slot-loading DVD drive, D-Sub and HDMI video output, a fingerprint reader for logging in without typing a password, and five -- count 'em -- USB ports. Yes, that's marketing hyperbole (Blu-ray isn't an option), but it does have an HDMI...

Toshiba HD-XE1 review

Reviews This player can display video at the highest quality 1080p mode, and features an HDMI 1.3 port for better colour reproduction. The HDMI output is the 1.3 version. Bear in mind that your TV will also need to support HDMI 1.3 to see any difference.

Toshiba 32WL56 review

Reviews If you can afford the £100 for an HDMI-equipped DVD player then it's worth the investment, as is a component video cable for your chosen games console. This is a real shame -- the de facto connectivity standard is still RGB Scart, despite the...
