Toshiba HD-A1 HD-DVD Player
From Blue Ray To Toshiba's HD-A1 HD DVD Player
I was once a die hard Blue Ray supporter, but then both formats were released. I have to say that my $1000 Blue Ray player disappointed me VERY much. For that much money you would hope to get a product that at least competes with a format that has a player for 1/2 the cost... well Blueray did not compete. I returned the Samsung Blue Ray player and and bought the Toshiba HD-A1 DVD player instead. I have nothing but rave reviews for both the player and the HD DVD format. Never did I see my Blue Ray Player perform like the Toshiba HD-A1 DVD player. Add on top of the increased performance the fact that it cost $500 less. I now have a growing collection of HD DVDs. I have been enjoying the best HD picture that is available on the market. I also have been enjoying the amazing upconverting that the Toshiba HD-A1 is capable of with my standard DVDs. It produces an amazing picture with all my standard DVDs - even better then my $700 upconverting DVD player I used to use. The way I see it, it is a Win - Win situation! Don't just believe me - go take a look at the threads on AVS Fourm those guys KNOW home theater and spend hours a day tweaking everything to perfection. The consensus over there is that the HD DVD is walking all over Blue Ray.
