The LG DP132 DVD Player is a really affordable way to playback DVD discs from all over the world thanks to its region free support, or to convert audio CDs to MP3. Just don't expect top quality as there's no upscaling or HDMI support here.

While the HD-XE1 is without a doubt the best HD-DVD player on the Australian market, it's also the most expensive. Non-enthusiasts may find the HD-XE1's asking price a little high, and ultimately may be better served by a more affordable model.

A very well designed Blu-ray player, the BDP-LX70's biggest drawback is its price. If you're willing to pay the extra for its media streaming capabilities, then it's well-worth the investment.

We’re really impressed by the 651BD. It takes all the best bits from its bigger brother, the 751BD, and presents it in a more affordable but no less appealing package. The hardcore build quality hasn’t been compromised, while twin HDMI outputs, 3D...

Panasonic’s DMP-B15 is a slick unit. It’s nicely designed (although a bit chunky), plays beautifully and is an absolute joy to watch. While I loved it, I can’t ignore two big issues, battery life and cost. It’s clear this player is not for the mass...

The Marantz 7004 is not cheap by any means in this competitive niche where prices are dropping and playback quality inching up all the time. With the introduction of the excellent Oppo BDP-83, competing in this segment gets even harder. But what you...
