Toshiba HD-A1 HD-DVD Player
Great Next-Gen Player
Was going to wait until the format wars were over but after hearing all the great feedback from users of the HD-A1/XA1 I couldn't resist. Picture quality is amazing on HD-DVDs and the upconversion ability makes some standard DVD's look like they are HD. The load times are not near as bad as some claim. The wait is really a non issue, since I am in no immediate rush to start watching a movie. I think I can wait a few extra seconds. Toshiba has already come out with a few firmware upgrades and fixed many of the initial problem issues some had. If you want the best quality picture on your HD display. This is it. Would of given it 5 stars but with a 1st generation player there is always room for improvement.
