Philips DVP 5960

Advantages: USB, HD upscailing, HDMI
Disadvantages: NONE!!!!

...By far the best DVD player i have ever had. Before buying this i was not sure about the whole upscaling thing, But believe me it makes the world of difference. I bought the DVD from Amazon.co.uk for £40 and was very pleased with both the price and service. I have my DVD player plugged in through a HDMI cable the quality is amazing. The USB drive on the front is also very usful for viewing pics, and even avi videos. The philips DVP 5960 is nothing special to look at but this to me is no problem as it what it does that is important not what it loks like. Another added bonus is the DivX support which is very useful, and the playback quality is very good!... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, very good 720p upscaled image quality
Disadvantages: Some remote control problems, takes time to read certain discs

...Overall very good and cheap HDMI HD 720p upscaler DVD player. Has an attractive slim design and good build quality. The remote control is small and modern. The only snag in using it is that sometimes the menus don't react, probably the infra red sensitivity is a little less than it should be. The remote control lacks a HD upscaler and eject button. You can upgrade the firmware off of Philips's support site to remove the bugs earlier firmware releases had. Sometimes on some discs it will read them for long before it starts playing, bad disc or laser running off track? Produces remarkably good image quality of DVD's on large TV's (i.e. 50 inches or more). There's a newer version out now that supports 1080p. Overall a good/very good and cheap HDMI DVD player....
