Our take on the HD DVD Player

This is a standalone HD DVD player, the format Toshiba launched in 2006 and abandoned in 2008. It plays HD DVD discs, upconverts standard DVDs to 1080i or 1080p over HDMI, and also handles CDs, MP3 and JPG files. It suits collectors who already own HD DVD discs and want a working deck, not shoppers building a new system: HD DVD lost the format war to Blu-ray, so new releases never come on it, and a Blu-ray player or a streaming stick covers more ground. Owners of these decks generally liked the upscaled DVD picture and the HDMI output, but the format's dead end is the main thing to weigh.

What reviewers say
