sony dvp-fx720w review: The FX720 has its limitations, but for the price, it does what it is designed to do well enough.

Handles DivX, MP3 and JPEG file formats as well as DVDs, Play files from USB port or disc drive, Accurate colours

Image quality suffers from grid lines, Can only play DivX files from disc drive, not USB

The FX720 has its limitations, but for the price, it does what it is designed to do well enough.

samsung bd-p1400 review: The Samsung BD-P1400 has a lot to offer for the price in HD audio-video performance and is highly recommended -- especially if you don't care for interactive features.

Relatively fast response, 1080p24 video output, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD bitstream audio output, 5.1-channel analog audio output, Stylish design.

Audio dropout when subtitle is enabled, Bulky for a single-format player, Stain magnet

Excellent sound, Great build, Dolby TrueHD output, Upscaling works well

Blu-ray playback leaves a lot to be desired

Keeps both back seat passengers happy, Good video from seven-inch TFT screen, Solidly built

Car mount may not fit all cars

You'll have fewer fights in the back seat of your car with Philips' dual screen portable DVD player.

The Toshiba HD-XE1 looks to be a decent HD DVD player, with understated styling and hardware-supported upscaling, and could be the machine for Blu-ray to contend with.

Solid picture quality, Remote control, Dolby TrueHD support, Good-quality DVD upscaling, Build quality, Blue lights everywhere, Basic front panel display

The NAD T585 is a very good universal player with features and performance you just won't find on other, more

No-nonsense build, Excellent music player, Upscaling to 1080i, Suited to surround-sound music collectors

Video just a smidge off the pace, Need to read manual to get best performance

The NAD T585 is a very good universal player with features and performance you just won't find on other, more "cosmetically" minded devices, but it's pricey.

The Sony BDP-SP1 is an intriguing device, which comes at a good price point, and appears to have the build, the looks and the features.
