Toshiba HD-A1 HD-DVD Player
For early adopters only
If you are dying to see HD movies on a disk (I was), it's a good price to get into the HD-DVD game.  On the other hand, the remote is awful, and you have to wait 1-2 minutes after you hit the pwoer button before a disk is played.  Also, if you want to use Dolby Digital 5.1 you are out of luck, as the AD-H1 only outputs DTS over its optical output.  For most people, I would recommend waiting for other players before making the leap.<br /><br />For die-hard picture quality fans, the image IS fantastic, and if you can live with the other problems, you will be happy...although blacks and whites are clipped over HDMI.
