I thought I would just try it once. Now I'm a HD junky.

Pros Inexpensive, great picture
Cons Crappy remote, evolving technology
Recommended it? Yes

Anyone purchasing a new high definition DVD Player will have to first decide if they want to commit to the HD DVD or the Blu-Ray technology. What's the difference? About $400. We have yet to have a DVD player that has lasted more than an year or two so we went with the less expensive of the two, a... Read full review »

Pros Incredible picture and currently a real bargain.
Cons Still some bugs left in the system.
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned the Toshiba HD-A2 for about a month now and have run about a dozen HD movies on it, and have found this to be a very nice piece of equipment. It is only about 2 inches tall, and about 17 inches wide, which matches the width of most modern home theatre receivers. It is also deep enough... Read full review »

HD-DVD May Be The Next Betamax-So Why Did I Buy One Anyway?

byBruguru Jan 20, 2008
60 Helpfuls 61 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Crisp, vivid lifelike picture and sound. Upconverts standard DVDs. Rock-bottom price.
Cons Slow playback, limited formats.
Recommended it? Yes

Have you ever heard of the Betamax? If you haven't, that's OK. Betamax, a video cassette system for recording programs off the air and for viewing purchased and rented videotapes was Sony's answer to JVC's VHS recorder. Although Betamax was actually a superior product, it lost the all-out struggle... Read full review »

Toshiba HD-A3 HD-DVD Player with HDMI - Stunning Images, But Still Work In Progress

bydkozin Nov 25, 2007
30 Helpfuls 31 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Low price, amazing video and sound, 1080i over HDMI and component out, firmware update
Cons Delays, does not play many formats, slow firmware updates, stutters on small scratches
Recommended it? Yes

I wanted to get a high-definition DVD player to complement my Hitachi P50H401 50-inch 1080p-capable plasma TV. Despite the fact that the war between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD is far from over and my overall preference for Blu-Ray (mostly due to movie availability in this format), I was driven to buy the...
