Venturer HD DVD finally arrives

1 December 2007 18:06 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 2 comments

Venturer HD DVD finally arrives Months after it was announced, the Canadian-based company Venturer Electronics has released their Chinese-manufactured entry level HD DVD player, the SHD7000, which it promises will "be one of the lowest priced among entry-level HD DVD players.”

Appearing at Wal-Mart and online, the player costs $197.88 USD, making it the most affordable HD DVD player on the market. However, thanks to recent Toshiba sales, such as the HD A2 selling for $100 USD a few weeks ago, the price point does not look as attractive as it once did.

The Venturer SHD7000 however, costs less than the Toshiba HA-A3 and according to HD Digest “is functionally identical to Toshiba's HA-A3 HD DVD player, offering 1080i video output via HDMI and Dolby TrueHD support.”

    Wrong picture guys (that was an old prototype - based on the gen 2 HD A2? note the drive door is on the wrong side compared to the midel now on sale - shown back in jan at CES 2007).

    This is the one you want -




    - It's an excellent machine too, basically it's a rebadged 3rd generation Toshiba HD A3 HD DVD player
    (as all the coming Chinese players are, the HD A3 is their 'reference design).

    For everyone (except those with a cheap & nasty 1080p HD TV with a sh*tty deinterlacer built in to it that can't deinterlace properly) this is a very cost-effective player.

    Very good quality SD DVD playback & upscaling too.
