      Overall score: 6.0 (3.0 stars)
Insignia NS-BRDVD Reviewed on 08/18/2008

The Bottom Line: The Insignia NS-BRDVD is competent as a relatively cheap, barebones Blu-ray player, but better players are coming and the Sony PlayStation 3 is a superior option for those with just a little more cash.

  • Editors' rating: 3 stars
      Overall score: 6.3 (3.0 stars)
Toshiba D-R410 Reviewed on 08/08/2008

The Bottom Line: The Toshiba D-R410 handles basic DVD-recorder functions at a budget price, but you can get better features and performance from Panasonic's DMR-EA18K, if you're willing to spend a little more.

  • User rating: 3h stars
Sony BDP-S350 Reviewed on 08/05/2008

The Bottom Line: If you're dead set on a standalone Blu-ray player, the BDP-S350 has a small form factor, solid feature set, and relatively low price--but the PlayStation 3 is still a better value.

  • User rating: 4h stars
Zenith DTT901 Reviewed on 07/21/2008

The Bottom Line: The Zenith DTT901 DTV converter box has an easy-to-use design and solid video quality, but other boxes have more features or are easier for seniors.

Samsung BD-P1500

  • User rating: 4h stars
Samsung BD-P1500 Reviewed on 07/01/2008

The Bottom Line: The Samsung BD-P1500 lacks some features and doesn't perform as well as the PlayStation 3, but its relatively low price makes it a solid option for those few people on a budget who still demand a standalone Blu-ray player.

Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Universal remote control, DTS decoder, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Stereo, 8.6 lbs

  • User rating: 3 stars
Panasonic DMP-BD50 Reviewed on 06/06/2008

The Bottom Line: Excellent soundtrack support and Profile 2.0-compliancy make the Panasonic DMP-BD50 the most recommendable standalone Blu-ray player to date, but the PS3 is still better and cheaper.

Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Remote control, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD decoder, Dolby Digital Plus, Stereo, Black, 7.3 lbs

      Overall score: 7.7 (3.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars
Netflix Player by Roku Reviewed on 05/19/2008

      Overall score: 6.0 (3.0 stars)
Philips BDP7200 Reviewed on 04/28/2008

The Bottom Line: The BDP7200 has a unique design and is Profile 1.1 compliant, but subpar Blu-ray image quality and the lack of onboard audio decoding options limit its appeal.

Oppo DV-983H
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.4 (4.0 stars)
Oppo DV-983H Reviewed on 04/17/2008

The Bottom Line: The Oppo DV-983H is pretty much the ultimate standard-def disc player, but its high price means videophiles on a budget can get a better bang for their buck.
