Denon DVD-1940 review

 

Denon's player offers wide compatibility as well as a reasonable scaler

Relatively tidy scaling up to 1080p ; strong SD images too

Stereo playback doesn’t quite match the Cambridge ; some jagged lines caused by scaling

Despite some noisy pictures, this is a competent and likeable player

Denon DVD-1940 review

 

A discernable step up from the Denon 1930 in picture quality, but not sound

Smart style and good build, as ever ; class-leading picture has improved yet further ; plays DVD-A and SACD in solid style

Movie sound lacks a little get up and go

While we welcome the small improvements in picture quality, we do notice a drop-off sonically – over to you

Denon DVD-1940

 

The Denon DVD-1940 is a worthwhile successor to to the 1930, with great DVD pictures. If the upscaler was up to snuff it would be perfect.

Class-leading DVD pictures ; Good music playback ; Elegant styling

Upscaling is worse than SD ; Only HDMI version 1.1 ; Same price as the PS3

Using an SACD of Peter Gabriel's greatest hits showed that, to our ears at least, this is the superior HD audio format, with "Solsbury Hill" showing great detail and a reined-in bass drum

Denon DVD-1940 review

 

No, it's not an episode of The World At War. It's Denon's revamped, 1080p-upscaling DVD player

This tweaked and tidied update of Denon’s award-winning 1930 DVD player boasts even better picture quality but less impressive surround sound

Was very noisy while playing. DVD drive failed right out of warranty. Refuses to stay closed. Cost to repair too expensive. Cheaper getting a Blu-Ray player.

Denon DVD-1940

 

I bought this unit on recommendation of Cnet's review of the DVD-1930. I think the HD upscaling is much better than my PS3 on just about every scene.

Very good upscaling. Even though I have a PS3 I think I would keep buying DVDs with this player given the price and limited titles of Blu-Ray media

The load tray is flimsier than most laptops. A little pricey but I got mine for $599

Denon DVD-1940

 

Very sexy, great up-scaler and reads all formats. Sound & image quality are excellent and the price we paid was amazing.

Could be a little slimmer in a perfect world.
