The good: Excellent image quality on HD DVD in 1080i mode; good upscaling performance on film-based DVDs; Ethernet jack included for firmware upgrades; onboard Dolby TrueHD decoding; much faster load times than its predecessor.
The bad: Somewhat disappointing picture quality in 1080p mode; ongoing format war means many films won't be available on HD DVD; no multichannel analog outputs.
The bottom line: The Toshiba HD-A20 is a perfectly competent HD DVD player, but it's not worth the extra money when compared to the budget Toshiba HD-A2.
