Toshiba HD-A3 1080i HD DVD Player HDA3 Review and Price Guide

November 21, 2007

The Toshiba HD-A3 high definition DVD player is an inexpensive way to enjoy the clarity of HD movies at home without breaking your bank account.

Yes, it only goes up to 1080i resolution. Well, if you have a 1080i TV then you are all set. Even so, your budget may not allow for a 1080p DVD player. If you are set on 1080p resolution don’t go for the Toshiba HD-A30 1080p DVD player. The quality in 1080p is so poor you would be better off buying the HD-A3 and having some change left over.

This is a perfect entry level high definition DVD player. If you have been wanting to get into the HD DVD’s then this will be a great start. Plus, with the exception of the HD-A30, Toshiba always makes great DVD players. I still own two Toshiba DVD players. I think the quality of parts and assembly is top notch and that makes for a great appliance even years down the road.

Panasonic DMP-BD10AK 1080p Blu-ray Disc DVD Player Review

November 3, 2007

So, you bought a new HDTV but the image doesn’t look very good when you play a DVD. It looks like the old TV did before upgrading huh?

Thats because your HDTV can only display the best that it is given. So, if your DVD player can’t send out 1080i or 1080p resolution then no matter how much money you paid for your HDTV, the DVD’s will look just like they did before you bought it.

There is a solution and it’s called Blu-ray. Blu-ray is fast becoming the new standard in high-definition DVD players and for good reason. Blu-ray discs can store 25 - 50 GB of data. Thats 5 to 10 times that of a regular DVD. Blu-ray also has the highest image quality of up to 1920 x 1080 at 40 Mbit/sec. Well, enough about the technology, lets get going with the review of this DVD player.

First off, I like the look. It is sleek and simple. It’s appearance will compliment any entertainment center. If there is one thing I hate it is having the light off, watching a movie, only to be distracted by some blinking, bright, blinding, blue LED light from an electronic appliance. None of that here, it has an easily readable display but it’s not blinding when the lights are off. Thank you Panasonic.

The DMPBD10AK is the only Blu-ray Disc player capable of decoding Dolby Digital Plus which is a new surround sound format that uses less compression than regular Dolby Digital. It can support up to 8 channels of surround sound. Very nice!

Panasonic has really impressed me with this one. It very quick to respond when loading a DVD. The options are great and it has 4 different video outputs (only one is HDMI though), and can plays BD-R, BD-RE, BD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, MP3, WMA, JPEG Photo disks! All of this with combined with 1080p resolution and what you have here is one power house of a DVD player.

Overall

If you want a high-definition player capable of the highest quality while also able to support the latest in sound technology, then you have found the right DVD player. This is an awesome DVD player that will make your entertainment center come alive. We highly recommend this player.
