There are two new types of high-definition discs vying for your attention: Blu-ray and HD DVD. Both deliver high-definition video on DVD-size optical discs, and both provide beautiful video and spectacular surround sound. We prefer Blu-ray and its first player, the BD-P1000. It supports the top-of-the-line 1080p HDTV resolution, boots up and responds to commands faster than its HD DVD rival, and reads digital-camera memory cards for displaying photos in high resolution on your TV. Beyond the tech, seven out of eight Hollywood studios support it (versus three for HD DVD), meaning more movies for early adopters. $1,000; samsung.com
