Toshiba HD-A20 1080p HD DVD player

Thankfully, we are no longer talking about a grand when refering to next-gen players. At least most of the time. Ultimate A/V had a chance to review the HD-A20 which is the mid-range player in the HD DVD line up. For a paltry $500, 100 over the entry level one, you get the added bonus of 1080p but not much else.

What a difference a year makes. A year ago, as a first-gen HD DVD player the HD-A20 probably would have drawn raves. Toshiba has done an outstanding of updating its first-gen HD DVD players and continually refining the performance in general of all its HD DVD players. If this player were to offer a more refined 1080p/60 output, or a true 1080p/24 output the tables would certainly turn. Until then, I'm afraid that for me the HD-A20 merely drove home the superb value and fantastic performance of both the HD-A2 and the HD-XA2.
