Toshiba SD2500

Beautiful picture quality. Support for a range of different types of media.

Build quality not as solid as older "Made in Japan" models

Great picture and sound quality.

Doesn't have features like zoom.

Having invented DVD, Toshiba have long been recognised as leaders in this technology. This player is their foray into the budget end of the market and for the price, it certainly does not disappoint.

It's perhaps a little more sensitive than some DVD players to marked/scratched discs, which can be a bit annoying if you're in the habit of renting DVDs - especially kids dvds which always seem to get really hammered in the rental market

Able to reproduce audio quality exceptionally well. Picture quality magnificent. Plays dvd+r and dvd-r

Could do with a little more functionality relating to SVCD playback such as zoom but hey, why would you want to watch a lesser picture quality format anyway?
