Best Blu-ray players rated
With Toshiba conceding victory to their rival Blu-ray consortium in the High Definition DVD format war now is a good time to invest in a Blu-ray player.
Compiled what is believed to be the Blu-ray players offering the best combination of value and performance.
1. Pioneer BDP-LX70A (90%)
For: Superb HD 1080p pictures, supports HDMI 1.3 and can stream High Definition sound.
Against: Expensive.
Summary: Pioneer's BDP-LX70 is currently the most sophisticated and accomplished Blu-ray player, at a price.
2. Sony BDP-S300 (88%)
For: Excellent value along with 1080p playback and HDMI 1.3.
Against: No support for High Definition sound.
Summary: Sony's BDP-S300 is the first attempt to bring a stand alone blu-ray player to the masses. The goal is largely achieved with excellent features and performance for a reasonable price.
3. Sony PS3 (88%)
For: Excellent value for a combined blu-ray player and games console.
Against: Not the best High Definition picture.
Summary: Having had upscaling ability added through a firmware upgrade the PS3 offers a compelling option.
4. Pioneer BDP-LX70 (87%)
For: Excellent pictures with 1080p playback.
Against: No DTS High Definition sound or HDMI v1.3.
Summary: Same excellent performance as the BDP-LX70A with fewer features.
5. Sony BDP-S500 (86%)
For: Excellent pictures with 1080p playback and HDMI 1.3 along with support for High Definition sound.
Against: Almost twice the price of its S300 blu-ray sibling.
Summary: Sony's BDP-S500 is well specified and puts in a great all round performance.
6. Sharp BD-HP20H (85%)
For: Excellent 1080p playback
Against: Poor standard DVD performance
Summary: Sharp's BD-HP20H is one of the best High Definition players, but standard DVD performance is a disappointment.
7. Samsung BD-P1400 (85%)
For: Excellent features for the price including support for High Definition sound.
Against: High Definition pictures are a little disappointing.
Summary: Samsung's BD-P1400 promised a high spec for a bargain price. It largely delivers, but the most important component, HD pictures, are slightly disappointing.
