Review Summary |
The LG BH200 is an improvement on its groundbreaking predecessor, but an HD-DVD/Blu-ray combo player just isn't an attractive product anymore. |
The Denon AVR-1910 is a fully featured midrange A/V receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality. |
The Samsung HT-BD8200 is a truly solid performer and is worth considering if it fits in with your current equipment stylistically. But it's not the best-specced machine in terms of connectivity. |
The LG BD370 Blu-ray player is a fantastically optioned piece of blue laser finery and a new benchmark for budget players. |
