PROS; it slim - and very quiet - looks very nice and well built, has great upscaling too (1080p), all the connections you need for 5.1 dts etc, user interface is easy, plays divx alot better than my old KiSS DP-450 (fast forwarding and rewinding is more instant) and overall the picture is a huge improvement for DVD and divx/xvid. you can tweak with picture & sound settings alot
CONS; expensive (imported from america it cost me around £160 with uk feesand taxes) there are much cheaper upscalers out there... ...
