With Blu-ray players taking all the limelight at the moment with their sparkling high definition quality, we thought we'd take a moment to look at what is still the most popular format by far - the good old DVD.
With many people ditching their DVD players to buy shiny new Blu-ray players, there are still lots of people who want to get the very best of their DVD collection. Luckily, all the big manufacturers are still making very high quality DVD players, but the brand which seems to be making most effort in this area is Toshiba.
When their HD-DVD format was ditched, Toshiba decided to help everyone by making a DVD player that could provide near high definition quality from a regular standard definition DVD. It was a huge success, and the brand have now released the succesor to this player, the Toshiba XD-E600. Not only does it have very smart looks and all the connection options you could need, but it will do exactly what it promises - make your existing DVD look high definition! With some Blu-ray players providing mediocre (at best) performance when playing DVDs, the XD-E600 at its very reasonable sub £80 price, makes a perfect addition to your Blu-ray player and really helps you get the very best from both formats.
The brand also has a range of slightly less expensive upscaling players, with the Toshiba SD-590 being probably the best of the range, but the absolute bargain Toshiba SD-390 is also a very capable player.
All this goes to show that DVD can still look great, and is still very much alive.
