Flying in the face of current inflationary trends Toshibas entry-level HD DVD deck has recently had its price cut. A step-up model, the HD-EP10, which adds 1080p output to the HD-E1 will soon be on sale for £450, the original price of this deck when i...

HD-DVD certainly has a price advantage over Blu-ray: Toshibas HD-E1 player is almost half the cost of Samsungs BD-P1000 Blu-ray player, reviewed right. Unfortunately, the design and build quality feel similar to DVD players costing £200 less. The...

This is the UKs first HD-DVD player, offering Hi-Def movie playback for ?450. Thats less than half the price of Samsungs slightly disappointing BD-P1000 (T3 132, 3/5), which rides on the other HD bus. The Blu-Ray fun bus. Picture quality is superb...

Cheaper than Blu-Ray, Superb pictures.
Unbearably slow to start, No analogue surround sound outputs or 1080p.
This isnt flawless, but its still the best Hi-Def movie player available and its half the price of its Blu-Ray rivals...

The HD-disc format war resumes in earnest as Toshibas belated debut HD DVD player finally arrives in the UK, undercutting the price of the rival Blu-ray system. So was it worth the wait and can it be better than Blu-ray? Compared to the first US machi...

And decent its output is indeed. DVD was easily better than VHS, and while the step up from DVD to HD DVD isnt as immediately noticeable, spend a little time watching it and when you go back things just dont look quite right. DVD looks sharp enough...

It may be the first consumer HD DVD player in Europe, but the HD-E1 shows all the signs of being a very mature product. Its output is gorgeous. It could be a bit quicker to load discs and it ought to offer support for 1080p - but these are just minor...

Lets forget for a moment that there are two competing high-definition DVD formats and ask whether it is worth paying a lot of money for high-definition DVD of either format. Ive just spent a week with Toshibas $1100 high-definiti...

SmartHouse takes the Toshiba HD DVD player HD-E1 for a spin, but wonders if the stunning hi-def prowess of HD DVD makes up for a lack of features. Toshibas HD-E1 has finally brought the HD DVD format to Australia. So is this the start of something bi...

While it is missing 1080p support and has a somewhat sluggish interface, the HD-E1 is a well priced High Definition player that supports both DVD and HD-DVD, and outputs exceptional image quality.

Brilliant image quality, great DVD upscaling, online capabilities in the future, competitively priced...

High quality and smooth playback. HDMI output at full 1080i. Connects to interrnet to receive live movie extras.
Expensive. Doesnt support MPEG4 playback. No 1080p.

Toshiba’s HD-DVD range has recently been given a revamp, with two new budget decks, the HD-EP30 and EP35, coming in to bolster the ranks. That means the HD-E1, the oldest model in the current range, is increasingly outdated – and indeed, Toshi...

Often brilliant, occasionally frustrating, this is an intriguing early stab at the high-definition-disc future. It’s by no means complete, but if you fancy dipping a toe in the HD water without blowing a fortune, it could still be worth a go...

If you're a movie buff you've probably been keeping a close eye on the next generation of optical formats. In fact the replacement for DVD has been a talking point for quite some time and now that both HD DVD and Blu-ray have officially hit the streets th...

Toshiba has really raised the bar with the HD-E1, producing a high quality HD DVD player at a very affordable price. Although £350 is a lot of money to many people, considering that a Blu-ray player will cost you well over twice as much, the HD-E1 is a bi...
