CNET Editors' review - Toshiba HD-A30

Very good

7.0

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.0 out of 10
Reviewed by Matthew Moskovciak
Review date: 10/12/07
Release date: 9/15/07

The good: Excellent image quality in 1080i and 1080p/24 mode; Ethernet jack for firmware updates; Dolby TrueHD decoding.

The bad: Image quality in 1080p mode disappointing; no analog multichannel outputs; not much of an upgrade over cheaper HD-A3.

The bottom line: The Toshiba HD-A30 is a solid third-generation HD DVD player, but for most people it's not worth the extra dough.
