I thought I would just try it once. Now I'm a HD junky.

Pros Inexpensive, great picture
Cons Crappy remote, evolving technology
Recommended it? Yes

Anyone purchasing a new high definition DVD Player will have to first decide if they want to commit to the HD DVD or the Blu-Ray technology. What's the difference? About $400. We have yet to have a DVD player that has lasted more than an year or two so we went with the less expensive of the two, a... Read full review »

Great picture, great audio, great value!

Pros Incredible picture and currently a real bargain.
Cons Still some bugs left in the system.
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned the Toshiba HD-A2 for about a month now and have run about a dozen HD movies on it, and have found this to be a very nice piece of equipment. It is only about 2 inches tall, and about 17 inches wide, which matches the width of most modern home theatre receivers. It is also deep enough... Read full review »

A High Quality Upconverter/HD Player for the price of Standard DVD Players

byaf40 Mar 25, 2008
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Plays HD DVDs in 720p/1080i, while Upconverting Standard DVDs to 1080i.
Cons No longer a viable choice for new HD movies.
Recommended it? Yes

With Toshiba recently announcing that it will cease production on its HD line of disks and players, it might seem like a bad idea to go out and purchase an HD-DVD player now. But with many of the players (such as the 720 p/1080i A2) going for as little as $60 on some retailer's web sites, the A2 is... Read full review »

The Look And Sound Of Perfect Indeed!

15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Affordable, great looks and fantastic playback!
Cons The Remote Control, Only 720p and not 1080p
Recommended it? Yes

HD DVD or Blu-Ray? Thats the question on the tip of everyones tongue right now! For me, it is HD DVD. It to me is the natural successor to the dvd and second of all it is affordable and is not proprietary like Sony's Blu-Ray! Even though Universal just pledged their undying love to the blu camp, i...

I Caved In And I'm Glad I Did!

Pros Cost-to-benefit ratio, price, picture quality, Ethernet-capable upgradability.
Cons Slower boot-up time compared to conventional standard DVD player. Ongoing format war.
Recommended it? Yes

I have to confess, I'm an early adopter when it comes to electronics and most of the time I hate myself for that. Why? Because most of the time, we act as the guinea pigs for the products that companies introduce. As soon as the buzz started building up for high definition DVD players, I had to get...

What is It?
The new Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player is one of the lower priced units on the market. This is the compeition to Blue Ray. Now that Paramount and Dreamworks have signed on to HD DVD, it has a significant leg up over Blue Ray. In addition, HD players are less expensive than Blue... Read full review »

UPDATE 5/4/08: I have removed my complaint about this player not being able to play the new lossless audio codecs. I've found out (after writing this review) that since all HD-DVD players were required to have a built in Dolby TrueHD decoder built into the player, anybody with an HDMI receiver will...

Pros Excellent picture, excellent sound. Good price for HD DVD player.
Cons Some operational glitches. Format war.

I bought the HD-A2 about a month ago.

I was an early adopter of DVD when it was released, there was a small spinner rack in the back corner of the store with DVDs, everything else was just VHS or the occasional Laserdisc.

It has been over 3 years since I first migrated to HDTV,... Read full review »

Hello! After purchasing the Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player during the November Wal-Mart "Secret Sale", I thought I'd stop by and offer up my evaluation. I should note that I'm a Playstation 3 owner with a fairly large (@65 movies) Blu-Ray collection. Now, that doesn't mean I'm a Blu or "Red" guy. I... Read full review »

Great up scaling DVD player

Pros super up scaling, great digital sound, sharp 720P / 1080i picture
Cons firmware update probably required, For a 1080P display opt for a newer model
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Toshiba HD-A2 about a month ago at a one day Walmart special for $100. Not even considering the HD capability, this made it a fantastic value as a top end up scaling DVD player.

The unit is connected through an HDMI port to a 720P / 1080i LCD overhead projector. This made the... Read full review »
