Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: You cant complain at this price!

...Budget Bush does it again! Bush has a good record when it comes to their budget DVD players, and this model is no exception. The Bush 2009 is a good all round player. The players has good sound performance and brilliant pictures quality which could be expected to only feature on more expensive models. The machine is easy to use and has a well-designed, user-friendly remote control. The player has a good range of sockets which include optical output, s-video outputs and the regular scart socket. All this for the small price of £170, what a bargain!... Read review

Advantages: cheap, user friendly
Disadvantages: silver colour may put some off

...The Bush DVD player was a gift of mine to my father, who was delighted at the prospect of owning one. I must admitt that I was also rather impressed as we took it out of the packaging. A real beauty! The smooth lines and futuristic design gives the impression of a very expensive piece of kit, but the £140 I paid was far from expensive. The RRP is usually £180, but with a bit of pursuasion towards the nice people at Richer Sounds, the price was soon agreed. As for general operation, we have no complaints. Simply plug the Bush in, connect the scart lead and throw in a disk. The remote control is also easy to understand so almost no manual reference required. The DVD player is multi region (although I think this is a little overhyped as all the DVD's we own or are likely to own are on the one region), has all the usual gadgetry (freeze... Read review

Advantages: Divx Playback, Plays DVD-r discs, very cheap, attractive
Disadvantages: None

...After my previous DVD player packed in I set out for a cheap replacement with my requirements being that it played divx files and dvd-r discs! (oh and that it looked nice too). After trawling the internet for a couple of hours the BUSH DVD2051 caught my eye at a bargain price in Argos of just £29.99!! I quickly snapped it up and I couldn't be more pleased!! It plays all DVD's flawlessly to a high standard including DVD's with just DIVX or XVID files on them, meaning I can fit up to 6 DVD's onto one disc after converting them. The supplied remote control is also a bonus because you sometimes get cheap ones thrown in with the cheaper players but this one is up to scratch and of a high quality. The added bonus of this DVD player is that it looks very attractive too. So if you're after a cheap DVD player then I'd definitely recommend... Read review

Advantages: Good value, good looking, easy multi-region hack
Disadvantages: Perhaps not so many features as a high price model

...I paid £179 for my Bush DVD 2002 and I've had it for about three months. I found the instructions incredibly confusing thanks to different set-ups for surround sound TV and stereo. But if you have a scart socket on your TV (you probably do) then you don't need the instructions. The player itself is suprisingly big but as with all new technology they'll most likley be half as big by the end of the year. Still, the remote control is extreemley easy to use and has all the buttons you'll ever need without being confusing. I'd say for a budget model this is one of the best deals around, and if you're interested (as I was) in playing american discs as well, the hack is really simple and is done via the remote control....

Advantages: User Friendly - Built in Freeview tuner
Disadvantages: Takes time to put into standby mode

...This is a very userfriendly, good quality TV. With built in S-video port it also enables the user to easily link this television upto their TV out card on a PC. The TV also comes with a side phono socket, for ease of connection using portable devices or games consoles, allowing easy switching between devices, and the Freeview can be transmitted out through a scart cable to a video or DVD recorder enabling this to be recorded. The one disadvantage of this TV is the time taken to go into standby mode. When turning into standby it automatically searches for updates from Bush. This usually takes around 2-3 minues, although if a connection cannot be reached, the Television stays with a blank screen and no sound, but produces an electrical buzzing noise while it waits for connection. This sometimes can go on for 24 hours and is ver
