Long Awaited Format Makes Successful Debut

In The Rack: Roger Galvin, owner of Precision Video in Fort Lauderdale, a professional many consider to be the very best in the US when it comes to high-end audio and video calibration, inspects the HD-XA1 in the rack and gives it his seal of approval.

Once the public got a glimpse of HDTV it was inevitable that most would soon want that same great picture and sound quality available in prerecorded formats. That time has finally arrived. A few months ago, Toshiba launched the first two HD DVD players available in the United States. These sleek players are perfect for the new generation of TV watchers who enjoy the sharper, richer picture that HDTV offers, yet are as easy to use as regular DVD players. The discs, themselves look just like regular old DVDs but contain considerably more information…in fact, I got my HD DVD discs from Netflix...for the same rental price as regular DVDs!

The two models from Toshiba are soon being joined on the scene by RCA branded HD DVD players, with the promise of others to follow. There is now an ongoing battle between HD DVD and Blu-ray, two different and competing HD formats (HD DVD championed by Toshiba and Blu-ray by Sony) are busy fighting to win your hearts, minds and pocketbooks to go with that new plasma or LCD display you just got. We haven’t reviewed Sony’s Blu-ray yet, so let’s look at the first one across the finish line: Toshiba’s HD DVD. Read more
