Advantages: small and lightweight
Disadvantages: flimsy

nice looking machine, small compact and lightweight, comes with a 2 pin plug with a uk adaptor which isnt the best made thing on the planet but for the price it works. trying to work out how to get the usb to play fims from my external freecom UBS HDD, if it does this its worth its weight in gold but i don't hold out much hope so far. not bad for the money though all things considered. worth a buy. would have given it 5 if it read from the external ...
...say for sure. I have made sure there are no folders on the external and will try that now.will report back if i get any success :D this machine also has the capability of plugging in 5.1 surround systems and amps too making it very useful bought it from pixmania for £18 ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap and brilliant.
Disadvantages: NONE

I really like Samsung products. I own a samsung TV and so the natural choice for a DVD player was a Samsung model. When you buy a new HD TV it is natural to think you then need to buy a HD DVD player. These can cost you a pretty penny and the HD DVD's themselves will cost over £20 each. If you are like me then you have a decent amount of normal DVD's that you still want to be able to play but you want to enjoy them on your new HD TV. This DVD player ...
...nice. If you have a samsung TV the DVD player looks awesome. They are both very similar in design with the stylish blue lights and sleek black design. It is also very easy to use. There arn't many buttons to use and requires minimal set-up. Also I have had mine 6 months now and have had no problems with it at all. I think Samsung in general have a high level of reliability and customer support. Another nice thing for those of you with Samsung TV's ... Read review

Advantages: Great picture
Disadvantages: no HDMI cable

...and as they were both Sony they recognised each other straightaway. First test was a Lord of the Rings DVD. The picture quality is astounding with HD upscaling. Flawless skin tones, colours. Sharpest image I have ever seen. Truly remarkable considering I only used the quick setup (less than 5 minutes). It does the same to DIVX DVDs and JPEG pictures. I also had some really large photos as I have a DSLR camera and to see some of my pictures so large, ...
...Smartlink feature which is for Sony TVs is a good feature as it means you can hide one remote straight away. It also means if you switch one off the other switches off as well. The sound is good but is very dependent on the TV or if you use Surround Sound Etc... At the price level you would probably struggle to find a cheaper HD DVD player. If your TV is not HD you have cheaper options. If it is HD then this is a good value for money option until ... Read review

Advantages: DVD/MP3/CDR playback which is good and its cheap
Disadvantages: looks a bit cheap but it does the job

...is quite misleading as the Dansai 701 DVD/MP3/CDR player is much slimmer and stylish than the picture shown on the site here. I believe the picture shown is the first ever 701 model from Dansai and doesn't reflect subsequent upgrades over the years. I have owned 3 DVD players in the last 10 years and all have been made by Dansai, and all have been the 701 models so I feel qualified to give my opinion on what I consider to be the best value for money ...
...was £40 at a time when most DVD players retailed in excess of £100 and since I have paid £35 and then £30 for the most recent. Each purchase has lasted and lasted playing DVDs without fault. The earliest model was passed onto a friend, the second onto my nephew and now the cheapest model serves me well. Set up is easy as the player comes wih a SCART cable so it is just a matter of plugging in and playing. The remote looks pretty cheap and tacky ... Read review
