Academy DVD1000

Advantages: Great looking and cheap
Disadvantages: Large

...We'd wanted a DVD player for some time and looked closely and prices and specifications. The Proline DVD 1000 from Comet stood out on price and it had all the feature that we wanted so we brought it. The first thing that struck me was how attractive it was a very sleek metalic gold finish makes it look like it cost the earth. I was surprised at how much bigger it appeared next to a video player and we needed to reorganise our home entertainment shelves to accommodate it, but it has been well worth it. The picture and sound quality is outstanding and let me tell you I'm hard to please ! Everyone who comes into the house admires it and I cant belive it cost so little to be the envy of all my friends.... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, excellent picture/sound quality, multiregion
Disadvantages: no dts, may be put off by the colour (gold)

...This DVD player from proline is the cheapest on the market, but don't let that put you off, everything on this model is excellent. The picture quality beats most £300 players, with cystal clear images and excellent colour. The sound is also excellent all though it does not offer dts - this however is not that bad as not many movies at the moment support the format. Extra features of the player include - slow motion , 10-bit converter, zoom and its multi-region - all is required is a code to be entered just once to make it play all region 1-6 movies. My advice is to go out and buy it! Espicially as the price is going to fall as its successor is out the proline 2000. Go to comet.co.uk now and check for yourself.... Read review
