DVD Players

Advantages: Cheap includes twenty movies
Disadvantages: not multi regional

...because I came across an LG 4210 DVD player complete with twenty movies for the cost of £199.99. Who could be worthy of such a gift in such a large box, (always the most exciting to open!)? Why me of course. Time to rush home rip open the box throw away the 40-page manual and set the machine up, (is this a man thing?) The DVD player is a sleek silver model weighing 3 kgs measuring approximately 43 cms by 15 cms by 7.5 cms the actual dimensions may ...
...is. The player can also be used to play audio CD discs but it does not play CDR discs, this is not a function that really bothers me. A 21-pin scart plug is included so it’s a simple matter of connecting the player to the television and you’re off. There are other connections on the rear panel to connect the player to your television or hi-fi or surround sound speakers with Dolby Digital Sound or indeed Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound. A real plus ... Read review

Advantages: Good basic system
Disadvantages: Lack many features

This DVD player is a good choice for those wanting a basic 'put disc in and play' machine, because that is pretty much all it does. There are none of the advanced features that are expected with modern DVD players. Although compatible with audio (MP3) and photo (JPG/JPEG) discs the features are lacking as there is no ability to choose a playlist as such - other than the order they appear on the disc. For audio playback, there is also no clever light ... Read review

Advantages: SMALL, TIDY AND EASY TO USE
Disadvantages: VERY FEW CONTROLS ON THE UNIT ITSELF

I bought the Compacks 6972DVD player and found it to be an excellent product. ADVANTAGES This small (9" x 9.5" x 1 3/4") sleek looking Silver unit, can be tucked away in to the smallest of crevises. It is easy to use and comes packed with features that you would normally have to pay a great deal for. It will play any region (0 - 9) and for the price that I paid I could not have asked for anything better. (£19.99 inc postage). It comes with a lightweight ...
...OSD, Open, Power, Prog, Audio, Subtitle, 4 speed modes (X2 - X16) Pause, Play and Title, not to mention the standard command buttons, and much more. Very easy to get started, just plug in using a standard Scart lead and bobs your uncle.... DISADVANTAGES The remote is your control, if you lose it, it would be very difficult to use the DVD player. The only controls on the front of the unit are the On/Off button, eject, Stop, Play/pause. The picture ... Read review

Advantages: Simple & Straight Forward. Easy operation.
Disadvantages: Picture Quality

ALBA DVD Player 73. This is a simple, straight forward DVD player. It will play all DVD's and music cd's. The image it produces shouldn't be expected by the buyer to be excellent, however, it is viewable and understandable. The DVD player doesn't effect the movies sound quality and doesn't have as many features on as other more expensive DVD players however, it does it's job. A DVD player is for playing DVD's and watching movies on your television. ...
...DVD player is not a cd player and the buyer should not expect any DVD players to play a cd. It's in the name what it plays.

Advantages: Bargain basement price, reliable all round performance, mpg support
Disadvantages: Only supports region 2, outdated model

Being a bit of an X-Files nut I bought this DVD player two years ago so that I could get the series boxsets that were coming out on DVD. I had been put off buying a DVD player for a while as I wasn't prepared to pay the prices that the top of the range models were going for but I saw this model on the high street for £70 and I decided to take a chance on it. Obviously two years is a long time in the technology world and this model wasn't that new ...
...the range picture quality and sound with all the bells and whistles of a new player then this isn't for you. However if you are on a budget and want a player with decent sound and picture quality then I would recommend this model. It also has a compact design which makes it a good choice if space is at a premium in your living room Over the last two years my DVD collection has expanded and my player has seen some heavy use. In this time it has proved ... Read review
