Hi, What hi-fi team. Did you know the Toshiba HD EP35 is available for £270 with 7FREE Hddvd films from Amazon UK.Is this why you removed the £199 Denon 1940 from your midrange Home cinema essentials list. It does make sense you know because what your getting is a class leading dvd player,according to your Dec 07' review, you said:The Toshiba especially,is a truly capable Dvd player-every bit as accomplished as our £250 Denon 1940 product of the year. If its true then you can look at it like this: 7 Hddvd's for £10 each,a class leading dvd player for £199 and a class leading Hddvd player for FREE or Tosh's HD-EX1 £440 with 7 free Hddvd films from Amazon UK,again in your review May 07' you said:The Toshiba also scores highly with standard Dvds,which it upscales to 1080p its more or less equal of £650 Denon 2930.So purchasing a Toshiba HD-EX1 makes even more sense because your getting a Denon 2390 picture quality for £440 plus 7 free hddvd films and a fully spec(7.1 sound and 24fps due to the recent firmware updates) Hddvd for FREE!! Readers my point is even if you decide to buy a Hddvd player now,your not risking anything because you would still have an excellent Dvd player and as for Bluray i would if i had to, id go for something like the £1000 Pioneer LX1 (cheaper online around £850) but at this price, i don't think its wise to spend more then £500 on any hddvd/bluray players.Also the reason i don't mention Ps3 is because i didn't get good Dvd picture results on my Sony 40W2000,so i use my Panasonic EX75 recorder its got sharper pictures,better black levels and more solid motion, it's just more cinematic!
