Advantages: What you get for the price.
Disadvantages: Not multi-region(?) - if that matters to you.

...cheapest one there, and the Hitachi had a nice silvery look to it. It cost me £199 on 26 Jan 01. It supports VideoCD and CD as well as DVD. I played a compact disc, and it sounded fine to me through my TV's nicam stereo speakers. I like the handset. It has straightforward buttons for navigation, rather than one of those fiddly joysticks I've tried elsewhere. The player has options for zoom (x2 and x4) from any of 64 positions over the screen. ...
...in the DVD world the scart (RGB) lead gave a noticeably better picture than the S-video one. It even said so in the manual, so it isn't just me. I don't know if this is true generally, or just for Hitachi models. Overall a very satisfactory purchase. ... Read review

Advantages: Simple to install and use
Disadvantages: small niggles

Two years ago, my partner and I caught up with this area of technology when we realised that DVDs were the new videos. We needed to buy a DVD player for our new DVDs but also a machine that played our extensive collection of videos. So our search centred on a machine that would do both and also would be as simple as possible enough to operate for our poor technophobe minds. Without really any research or recommendation we chose this product. It ...
...polystyrene foam. The latter and the box were soon purloined by the children for their own games. It has a nice look (you can have it in any colour as long as it is grey metal!) and fitted easily on the top of our portable television in the kitchen. There is a fully detailed manual included and the initial set up was easy and straightforward, even for us. The supplied accessories are: a remote control plus two AA batteries and an aerial cable. Initially ... Read review

Question1. Did I need a DVD player? Answer: No! Question 2. Did I watch DVD’s? Answer: Yes, you bought a lap top that you could hook up to the T.V. so that you could watch them downstairs instead of hurting your neck watching them on the P.C. upstairs. Question 3. So why did you buy a DVD player then? Answer: Because I could. You may have gathered from the above conversation that I had with myself that I am gadget mad, as opposed to the ...
...the past. Whatever it as that finally prompted me to take the plunge, (I think it was envy); I’m glad that I listened. The picture quality is so superior that if our elderly video weren’t like a member of the family now, then euthanasia would have been the solution. The only reasons that we keep it are: i. No one would be daft enough to buy it. ii. My Mum would string me up because it is hers. iii. I would have to spend a small fortune ... 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
