DVD player for girls with a passion for fashion

Advantages: remote, nice design, portable
Disadvantages: battery pack is a bit bulky

..., next/previous, pause/stop and play. You can use the DVD player with or without the headphones as it has a built in speaker. Features are: * 6.2" (widescreen 16:9) TFT LCD screen * Adjustable angle display * Switch for 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio * Play's DVDs and DR-R/RW discs * Built-in speaker * Angle function * Headphone jack * Audio and video output The DVD player can either be hooked up to the tele, if your daughter doesn't have another DVD player or can easily be made portable by clipping the battery pack onto the bottom. This is then charged through the mains adapter supplied or if it isn't being used on the go, it can be played directly from the mains. The battery pack is a bit on the bulky side, and means the DVD player is slightly lifted up on the back if it is placed on a flat surface. This doesn't bother...

Review of Bratz Portable DVD Player

  DVD Player that can play DivX .avi files and more!

Advantages: Plays DivX AVI and MPEG files, Supports lots of formats, Looks good, Karaoke,
Disadvantages: DivX 3.11, 4.02 plays slightly slanted, cheap plasticy remote, Doesn't play some NTSC encoded files

...I've wanted a DVD player that was capable of playing DivX files for a while because of all my anime and por...errr....other video files..., but the players cost more than normal DVD players so resisted for a while. I've seen brands such as KISS and Yamada but later came across this DK Digital DVD-500 DivX DVD player after the prices have dropped. It only cost £41.98 (61.52 Euros) from SVP Communications (AKA Blank Disc Shop). -= The Player =- The player looks sleek with a black and silver design. Black at the front with silver at the top and bottom curving in towards each other at the middle, which I think looks really good. The player itself looks quite durable and the tray isn't flimsy like some I've seen. The LCD display shows the numbers in green and other details such as TRK, DVD, etc in red. I think it's very easy to read...

Review of DK Digital DVD-500 DivX DVD player

DVD's a Plenty!!!

Advantages: cheap, compact, great bargain
Disadvantages: none

...from around that price and appear still big and bulky. This particular Woolworth?s Worth It DVD player was tiny and looked pretty snazzy in a compact way. So to look at the DVD is a nice silver in colour and is 4cm in height, 20cm in width and 16 cm in length. So as you can tell really the whole system is pretty tiny (especially if you saw our last Liteon DVD recorder which took up a little too much room). There is no display screen on the front of the DVD player and all the buttons are on top of the box instead of usually being at the front. The DVD is placed in a flip open lid that sits on the top of the box and therefore you wouldn?t be able to put anything else on top of this system unlike many other DVD players. However the fact that this box is so tiny and thin I think you would not really want to put anything on top of it...

Review of Woolworths DVD Player

One for the DVD Player

.... The DVD also includes some public access TV footage Pickard shot in 1991, an interview with Chris Difford dating from 2002 and an audio commentary from Tilbrook. This review has previously been published by me on dooyoo under the same user name...

Review of Glenn Tilbrook - One For The Road (DVD)

DVD player with a bad stutter

Advantages: Upconversion to 1080i, HDMI, DIVX Playback
Disadvantages: Not very Durable, Both my players have broken

...A great DVD player with Upconversion to 780p/1080i, HDMI and component video outputs as well as DIVX playback. Pity that it will only play for 60minutes before playback grinds to a halt. I bought this player as I've not long upgraded to a HDTV. I was noticing a bit of picture derogation using my old player (connected via SCART) and decided it was time to upgrade. I was not happy buying a Blue ray or HD DVD player until for format war has finished, so i was looking for a player with HDMI output. As soon as I saw the SD-5000 I was impressed with the slim design and the front of the player has a great finish and I knew it would look good underneath my TV. Once connected to my TV via the HDMI ( note no HDMI cable was included with the player I felt a little disappointed with this) The picture was improved instantly and there was...

Review of Panasonic DVD-LS83

Brilliant portable DVD player

Advantages: Looks great, plays great, lots of accessories, multiregion
Disadvantages: no free headphones

...I frequently travel on the train for 3 hour journeys each way so I wanted a portable DVD player to stop me being bored rigid. I happily chose the Shinco 1731A portable DVD player for the following reasons 1) The seven inch model was small, easily portable but the colour ActiveMatrix TFT screen didn't seem too small when watching films on the train. THe screen also has a 400:1 contrast ratio giving really clear pictures. 2) I wanted a multiregion portable DVD player so I could use all formats (1-6). This DVD player also plays other formats, including DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, JPEG and Kodak Picture CD. The Shinco also has multi language/angle/subtitle capability, zoom play and programmable play and comes with a tiny remote control. 3) I wanted a portable DVD player that I could use with my TV set at home or in...

Review of Shinco 1731A Portable DVD Player

Award winning DVD player

Advantages: Fantastic picture quality, fantastic audio quality, great value
Disadvantages: not exactly cheap, a bit chunky looking

...I've just bought one of these. Oooh it's good. Really good. Here's why. It's a dead cool DVD player which is ideal if you have an HD ready telly and want to really enjoy your DVDs to the full. It has Dolby sound so is great if you hook it up to separate speakers, but pretty good if you don't, too. It comes in silver (well aluminium) or black, and compared to some DVD players it is quite chunky - about the thickness of a video recorder. I don't know why. I forgive it this though, as the picture quality is awesome. Really sharp. It has 1080 upscaling, which means it is fully HD compatible, and a detachable mains lead, which I couldn't see the point of until More Technically Minded Hubby (MTMH) explained that this is a Good Thing as it allows you to upgrade the cable and get even better quality. Until buying this, I thought...

Review of Denon DVD-1940

Great Value DVD Player

Advantages: Cheap, compact and easy to use
Disadvantages: Not a multi region player

...thinking the same thing - a Value DVD player, will it be any good? But, we decided to try it. It was very reasonably priced at £17.97, just over what you would expect to pay for a new release DVD, so one jumped into our basket. The DVD player was packaged securely and came with a power lead, full instructions, a remote control and batteries. It didn't come with a SCART lead though. Setting up the player was straightforward, just plug it in and switch it on. You then see the Tesco logo on your screen. Put in the DVD, press play, sit back and enjoy! This DVD player will play the following formats: DVD DVD+R DVD+RW Audio CD CD-R CD-RW Picture CD This player will only play discs from Region 2 and discs that are dedicated Region free. Features: Media format - PAL MP3 compatible Parental Lock 1 SCART socket RGB...

Review of Tesco Value DVD Player

pretty average dvd player for a pretty average guy

Advantages: good matt black colour and good remote response
Disadvantages: just a run of the mill player

...ranging from VCD (video CD) to CD-R and CD-RW which have mp3?s stored on them. Nothing really different here to any average DVD player then. The DVD player has the usual 1 SCART socket to connect the player to the TV nothing exciting with that then. When switched on and no DVD is in the machine a screensaver is display as so to prevent any static image ?burning? into the TV screen, not really such a big issue, only really an issue with rear projection TV?s which are gradually being phased out with more modern LCD and plasma TV?s. And the DVD player comes with a remote as standard. So basically my opinion is that this DVD player is average. There is no features on this machine that makes it stand out from the crowd or and features that make it fail miserably. This player is quite silent when running in my experience and it is...
