Toshiba HD-A1 HD-DVD Player
Great player, great performance
This unit is well built, does the job it's intended to and does it well.  I can only say good things about it in HDDVD mode, it looks and sounds fantastic.  Upconverting SD discs is better than my previous LG upconverting DVD player which also used HDMI and it did a pretty darn good job as it was.<br /><br />Only downsides for me are the price (yeah I know it's new) and the remote.  It's near impossible to read in a darkened room.  Thankfully I have a Harmony 880 remote and I just updated it to have the HD-A1 on it and problem solved.<br /><br />One side note, I have a Toshiba 50HDX82 rear projection HDTV with DVI port and using a HDMI to DVI cable it works great.  Thankfully my TV was one of the ones just before HDMI showed up so it managed to have the requisite HDCP compliance built in.<br /><br />I'd recommend it for anyone that has a system capable of taking advantage of it and has the extra bucks.  If you're not in a rush just wait until Christmas and get one then.
