Advantages: DVD and Video in one
Disadvantages: No Divx playback

...at under £150 ( it's Sony the sales assistant kept telling me ). The next day they delivered it to my house and I set it up with ease ( make sure you buy a scart lead as no lead is included ). Plugging it in and switching it on the screen read DVD Video I placed one in the CD tray and off it went, its totaly silent when playing films. With subtitles and various other options fiddled with for a few minutes the film began. The picture quality was ...
...sound speakers it is an amzing experiance. I later played a CD made by my PC. No On screen display only on the small LCD on the player itself. No Divx function. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Divx it is a type of movie which your home PC can download and write to a CD. Now for the VHS, wow I kept thinking my videos have never sounded so good, then I relized the machine had Nicam sound and with my surround speakers my Videos were playing ... Read review

Advantages: picture
Disadvantages: slightly over priced

This is definitely a decent DVD payer I not excellent. I have loved it since I ever bought it and I will continue to. The picture play back is very good and is so clear meaning that you are able to watch form a greater distance and still see the picture fine. The sound quality also is a must in DVD players and TV's. The sound quality on this is great with some variations. The ease of use is easy, and the instructions manual is very easy to understand ...
...durability is good and is able to be moved around a lot without damaging anything; the lenses also are well covered so it does not get damaged. The value for money is a bit over priced as it does have some limitation of its features and so should cost less. ... Read review

Advantages: USB, DivX, multi-region
Disadvantages: Periodically loses multi-region, no USB access from remote

Had this player for over a year now and has been brilliant all round. Used remote hack to make multi-region and changed video system from PAL to NTSC (hold Pause until display on player flashes) to stop judder on playback. Has played everything I've thrown at it. It did lose it's multi region setting recently but used remote hack to re-set factory settings and then Zoran file burnt to CD to access region setting menu and now fine again. One drawback ...
...have to press a button on the DVD player to access the USB stick and this can't be done on the remote. Not a major problem though. Has HDMI out which provides better picture quality. Coaxial out for digital sound. Decodes Dolby 5.1 and DTS. As a bonus, it looks pretty sleek too. ... Read review

Advantages: Great quality
Disadvantages: Not very advanced interface

This DVD player is the one that i have in my lounge and is a great one in my eyes and i think i will have it for years to come. It goes very well with my sony LCD HDready television and was very easy to set up and also very quick. It plays pretty much anything and has great quality and is very easy to use, i.e. the remote is very simple layout but with most features available. Plus this dvd player is also a great buy because it is under £100 and ... Read review

Advantages: Size, Upscaling and Sound Quality
Disadvantages: Remote control, menu system keeps forgetting settings...

This Samsung 1080p DVD player is the perfect companion for any of the latest Samsung LCD and Plasma TV's. We currently own the Q96 Plasma model and the F1080 fits just under the TV, it is smaller than the stand on the TV. But it has all of the features of the chunkier 1080p dvd players. Another plus to Samsung customers is that it has the Anynet+ function, meaning you can use the tv remote to control the DVD player. This is suggested as the remote ...
...small and useless in my view. There are a few firmware faults with this model, for example it sometimes won't play a DVD on initial startup and you have to restart the player as it just blue screens. The upscaling quality is good, however I have only my xbox on vga connection to compare it to. Upscaling quality: 8/10 Connections: 9/10 Remote: 2/10 Menu System: 5/10 (can be annoying at times) Sound Quality: 10/10 (on 5.1 setup) Anything else ... Read review
