"Toshiba HD-EP30"
1 DVD Player (approx. £1000)
CNET.co.uk
Published on 11/2007
On test: Toshiba HD-EP30
It may only have been a 1080i player, but the Toshiba HD-E1 found a place in our hearts. Firstly, despite the fact that it's 1080i, it makes no difference when you watch film material. Secondly, it's cheap and simple. Its technical successor, the Toshiba HD-EP30, has much to live up to. It has to be a low cost, high quality way to see HD DVDs. Can this £200 new model succeed like its predecessor? We have high hopes. Review details: Single Test    Test results
"Cambridge DVD is a sonic star"
1 DVD Player
What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision
Issue 10/2007
On test: Cambridge Audio Azur 540D V2
Cambridge Audio's Azur 540D V2 is an evolution of a DVD player we first looked at over two years ago - and this is some upgrade. Most critically, the V2 features an HDMI output and video scaling to 1080i standard. On paper, the lack of 1080p upscaling seems a shortcoming - but we've said plenty of times that the practical difference between 1080i and 1080p images is negligible, especially on a sub-40in screen.

"Group Test: High definition disc players"
3 Blu-ray Players, and 1 DVD Player (approx. £350)
AVReview
Published on 8/2007
On test: Pioneer BDP-LX70, Toshiba HD-XE1, Panasonic DMP-BD10, Samsung BD-P1000
Sorry folks, but if you're reading this in the hopes of finding out which HD disc camp, HD DVD or Blu-ray, will win the format 'war', you've come to the wrong place. Both formats continue to have their numerous relative advantages - mainly cost on HD DVD's side and film studio support on Blu-ray's side - and it's just way too early to pick a potential winner. Presuming, of course, that both don't survive indefinitely. But what this feature certainly will do is pitch four of the highest profile HD disc players against each other to see which ones simply perform the best, irrespective of which format they belong to. Review details: Four high-definition DVD players, both Blu-ray and HD DVD, were reviewed and rated based on features, performance and value for money. Scores ranged from 6 to 9 points out of 10.    Test results
"Budget Toshiba's another winner"
1 DVD Player
What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision
Issue 8/2007
On test: Toshiba SD-370E
Toshiba is king of the HD DVD hill, and a company that obviously believes its high-definition future lies outside the better populated world of Blu-ray. But that doesn't mean it isn't keen on raking in the mass-market cash in the still-lucrative affordable DVD market, and the SD-370 is its current low-cost/high-volume squeeze.

"Toshiba SD-370E Upscaling DVD Player"
1 DVD Player
TrustedReviews
Published on 5/2007
On test: Toshiba SD-370E
DVD has been around for just over a decade, and most of us have built up a pretty impressive collection of discs. But the introduction of HD Ready TVs, Blu-ray and HD DVD has presented us with a dilemma – should we upgrade to a high-definition player and start our collections from scratch, or should we make the most of our existing standard-def discs? For most people the latter is the only option, given how expensive the former would be, and that’s where upscaling DVD players come in. They take the 576 lines of picture information stored on a DVD and boost the pixel count up to 1,280 x 720 or 1,920 x 1,080 using clever interpolation techniques, more closely matching the resolutions of HD Ready flatpanel TVs and projectors. But the best part is that this feature is no longer reserved for high-end players. You can now pick up an upscaling DVD deck for peanuts, even ones from big name brands as this £60 player from Toshiba demonstrates. Review details: Single Test    Test results
