Are all those free movies worth buying this HD DVD player?

bytechnologyrep Nov 27, 2007
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Stunning HD picture and sound.
Cons Long load times, won't accept wireless internet connections; Bluray will win war.
Recommended it? Yes

Let me state up front that I'm not going to discuss in detail how good or bad the picture quality of this HD DVD player is because in my experience high definition is high definition, be it from Bluray, HDTV or HD DVD, and it can depend a lot on the specific disc being watched. I will touch on it a... Read full review »

Great play back! Slow boot!

Pros Great Value and comes with seven HD DVDs
Cons Slow boot time
Recommended it? Yes

I've taking a side and I've picked HD-DVD. Don't know anything about the different technicalities between Blu-Ray and HD DVD, but frankly from what I've seen in electronic stores both looks the same - stunning sharpness, clarity and brightness. HD DVD is the cheaper format from the two (less than... Read full review »

Pioneer DV-400V Upconverting DVD Player - Up To 1080p over HDMI, DivX and USB

bydkozin Dec 8, 2007
30 Helpfuls 31 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent build quality, features, USB, up to 1080p over HDMI, DivX, MP3/WMA, performance
Cons Not the cheapest, but worth every cent
Recommended it? Yes

After trying out the Philips DVP5982 and 5960, I got the Pioneer DV-400V. The Philips was less expensive, but it has usability shortcomings and some DivX files were stuttering on it. The Pioneer is not a silver bullet, but it is much better in some aspects.

I have had the original king of... Read full review »

Great machine!

byhagfors Dec 16, 2007
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 1080p upconversion and durable
Cons None, perhaps a little pricey (but quality costs as does upconversion)
Recommended it? Yes

The Pioneer 400DV is a great DVD player with 1080p and 1080i upconversion, making regular DVD movies play in near high definition quality - near HD but not completely HD quality. Read full review »
