Advantages: Plays all disc formats
Disadvantages: Average picture quality

...about my DVD player, the Goodmans GDVD100. We bought it at Argos. It cost £250, but it came with a rather nifty TV stand type thingy with inbuilt amplifier and three speakers (including a sub woofer for boom-tastic bass). ******Looks****** It looks rather gorgeous actually. It is silver, and very slim and sexy. It has a black display screen on the front, a headphone socket and some nice unobtrusive buttons. What lets the looks down is the rather ...
...my advice – give the Goodmans GDVD a miss and shop around very carefully. Scour the DVD user websites and magazines and take note of personal recommendations. If you buy a budget player, don’t expect miracles. And if you want the true cinema experience, don’t expect to get it without laying out quite a wad of cash for a decent sound system and widescreen television. As far as the price of this unit is concerned, however, it should ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, small
Disadvantages: Over time stops playing recorded discs

I purchased a Alba DVD62XI from Argos about a year ago as I wanted a cheap DVD player than played recorded DVDs. This is the cheapest I could find (based on other reviews that it played copied discs). The DVD player worked fine for about 3 or 4 months before I started having issues. After that time the DVD player began skipping and lost the ability to read recorded discs. Nothing had happened in that time (The player had not been dropped or even ...
...to why it happened. I know someone else who has the exact same player and they have had the same issues, although it took a little bit longer to happen. In conclusion - If you are looking for a cheap DVD player that plays recorded discs, spend a little bit more. I eventually ended up paying £25ish for a Panasonic DVD player (not sure of model) and I am much happier. ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, very small and compact.
Disadvantages: The "on" light comes on when it's off | Can't record | Slightly too quiet |

The Aitro DVD player is a very simple compact product, which is perfect for people either on a budget or in need of a small DVD player which will save space. It cannot record, but for around £15-20 it is still a bargain. It is very easy to install, as only 3 wires have to be plugged into the DVD player itself and 3 into the TV. It is very straight forward and the instructions walkthrough everything clearly enough. Whilst it is cheap it is definately ...
...as an expensive DVD Player, as I haven't experienced any techincal difficulties to date. As with most up to date DVD players it can play CD's and MP3s. It can be a bit quiet when playing DVD's but the only thing necessary to solve that is to turn up the TV. The remote control looks fairly cheap and tacky, but it does the job and has all the necessary functions to watch a DVD without any hassle. Overall the DVD player itself works fine, and I can ...
