Ratings

Build quality: 92
Value: 80
Features: 80
Performance: 82
(On discs that it plays, this rating would be 95, but since it does not work at all with some discs, I have substantially downgraded the rating).
Ergonomics: 94
Overall: The Duo HD offers superb video quality from DVDs, BDs, and HD DVDs. But it currently lacks support for advanced audio, and doesn't play back the interactive features it's advertised to, and has too many other playback related issues to be recommended.
