Digital camera reviews of Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player
Digital camera Review: Without regret!
Summary: 5 Stars
I should have no regret after purchasing this excellent product although it was fallen through in the format war! Both the video and audio quality were stunning especially for the DVD side which was more than expected. Highly recommended!Digital camera Review: Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased item as a gift for my husband who had researched HD DVD players and decided on this one. The price at Amazaon was much better than that offered at other establishments. Product arrived in the time paid for (rush).Digital camera Review: Nobody is Screwed
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit is hands down, besides the XA2 unit, the best of the final HD DVD units to own, nobody is screwed. The movies still play right?Blu Ray winning out didn't disable your player or scratch your movies, right?Everybody who bought into BR or HD up to this point knew something like this was coming, if you didn't, then you are ignorant, and have no excuse to gripe.Quit your b****ing and quit giving the unit 1-star because the format war is over.Digital camera Review: DO NOT BUY
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not buy any Toshiba HD DVD players. Press releases state that they are no longer in the HD DVD business. They have quit making them.Digital camera Review: It's A Shame Toshiba Will No Longer Support HD DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a shame all the major retailers (Wal Mart, Target...) decided not to support HD DVD giving Toshiba no choice but to stop supporting it.
I bought the Sony BDP-S500 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player for $600 at Circuit City then later bought the Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player for only $228 from Amazon (now down to $196). I actually think the Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player is superior to the Sony BDP-S500 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player because it has the following features that the Sony does not:
1. The ability to select the distance of all surround speakers from the viewer (to compute optimum delay time)
2. The ability to select a dialog enhancing mode
3. The ability to select speaker size of all surround speakers (my Techniques sound processor can do this too)
4. The ability to set the cross over frequency of the sub woofer (both my NHT subwoofer and Pioneer amplifier can also do this).
The first two are the best features.
Other than that the two units are the same: Both are the least expensive units that have the x.v. color and 24 fps feature. But now, no doubt due to Toshiba pulling the plug on HD DVD, the Sony BDP-S500 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player has shot up to $999 at Amazon from $599 at Circuit City (and by the same token, that is probably why the Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player is only $196).
The HD DVDs are half the price of Blue Ray and the same quality picture (1080p) and sound.
My suggestion: Buy the Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player for $196 at Amazon, then buy all the HD movies you think you will want. Since Blue Ray DVD movies go for $30 and HD DVD movies are going for $15, this will save you $15 per disc. You will quickly pay for the $196 spent for the Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player to say nothing of the current $800 price difference between the Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player and Sony BPS-500! You also get 7 free HD discs with the Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player: 2 in the box and five you send in for.
First HD DVD set I am going to buy is the entire first season of Star Trek with the redone, 2006 special effects and remastered soundtrack on HD DVD. It comes out to only $3.36 per episode, half that if you include the fact that this set also has every episode in standard DVD as well. I'll get King Kong and Superman Returns too.
