Star Review: Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD Player
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Fri 22nd Jun 2007 07:53 UTC
Hardware, Embedded Systems Geeks.com sent us in a next generation DVD player, the Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. The model is the little brother of the HD-XA2 with fewer features, but it's the only HD player that sells at $230 while using the newer, second generation HD-DVD technology.

>>>1080i means it's a CRT,
>It's a 17" LCD.

Also please don't bust my balls about the technical differences of CRTs being 30/60 or 25/50 and LCDs being 60 Hz. Not interested. The point is, the output looks as 1080i and that's what matters.

Let me also add that I live in one of the most rich/expensive regions of the world, in the Silicon Valley. And wherever we see people buying TVs, usually these TVs are 1080i, at smaller than 50". So, again, don't put your "Geek hat" when you reply in this article, put a more realistic hat about what the market is right now and how this product can (or not) please the vast majority of consumers. My opinion is, based to what hardware MOST consumers own today, this player does the job. That's my last take on the subject.
