When I was evaluating HD-DVD players I looked at both the price point and the feautures being offered. I read many reviews and I dug deeply into a lot of them. After much consideration I picked this unit and the two spotlight reviews above put me over the top. — — This is an… read full review »

My husband and I bought the first HD DVD player released last year, and it has served us well -- but the Toshiba HD-A2 is even better! It's thinner and more light-weight than its predecessor, so it fits better in our entertainment center. We used to have so many problems with scratched discs not playing in the old player and considered cancelling our Netflix subscription, but the HD-A2 can play them all with few to no problems. The picture quality and sound quality are EXCELLENT -- as long as you're not expecting 1080p, this player is tops. When the camera pans to… read full review »

HD DVD and upconversion for the budget minded.

The Toshiba HD-A2 could well be one of the best values of the 2007 Christmas season. Several big named retailers have marked down their stock of A2s from $300.00 to $100.00. The A2 not only plays the new High Definition DVDs, but also performs a bit of technical wizardry (upconversion) to make your normal DVDs look better. The upconversion feature works so well that I have no intention of replacing my existing movie library. You will need an HD capable television and an HDMI cable for the full benefit. HDMI cables are available online for less than $10.00 so don't pay a fortune for one at a… read full review »

I found this product for $100, which is a steal and below cost. I live in Wisconsin, and the WI Fair Trade act would not allow local retailers to sell at that cost. I was a bit reluctant about buying into the whole HD thing, but at that price, I thought "What the heck" and went for it. The picture quality is great. The HD DVDs are amazing, and the images for regular DVDS are impressive as… read full review »

This DVD player is great, and very easy to use. It has high quality, and sometimes when I would play a DVD that had visible scratches and thought that it wouldnt play, it played any way. The menu options are not complicated and everything is just so easy to comprehend. I would suggest purchasing this DVD player becasue it is not that costly and its quality and performance is… read full review »

I was lucky I got this DVD on Ebay so it was a little less than half the retail price. Works great but the one thing I don't like is how long it takes to warm up. I thought something was wrong with mine since it was so cheap, but I went to Best Buy and theirs did the same thing. Other than that I love the thing the picture quality is beautifull and the digital sound is… read full review »

My first HD DVD player and I was impressed. It actually takes your regualr dvd's and makes them look even clearer. There is a slight freeze up when playing regular dvd movies, but it unfreezes before you can roll your eyes and start to get up. When you first turn on the dvd player, it does take a bit to "warm up" before you can even open it to put in the disc.… read full review »
