Ultimate A/V has posted their review of the HD-A1, HD-DVD from Toshiba. Aside from the normal tests and specifications (which are definitely worth a read) there are a couple of other interesting things about this particular review.

One must see in the review is the screen shot section. If you had any doubt whatsoever that HD-DVD didn?t look significantly better than SD DVD then you need to see these screenshots.

Another interesting part of the review was the manufacturer’s comments, which would seem to indicate that some of the problems other reviewers have reported with the HD-A1 may not be the players fault at all.

For instance some of the pausing and or disc stops may have been incorrectly identified as bugs when they are in fact inherent in the way HD-DVD handles the DRM required by the studios. Interesting read and definitely one of the better HD-DVD player reviews I?ve seen.
