Philips DVP3020 - Stylish and cheap!

Advantages: Stylish, good picture and audio quality, pretty good range of supported formats
Disadvantages: Had problem with a previous unit not working properly, Only region 2 compatible

...This DVD player might not have all the features and playback compatibility of some units but it certainly has a good look and feel to it. You can pick it up very cheaply too. It might not support DivX or Xvid playback but for me thats not a problem, however if you like to download movies and play them back using this kind of technology then this won't fit the bill for you (although I believe that there is a model Philips do which does include DivX playback, with the same sleek design just a slightly larger spec at maybe £30 or so more than this model, so that would probably be worth looking into). This DVD player offers progressive scan, which gives it better picture quality compared to the old bog standard DVD players, it however does not upscale to HDMI (near HD picture quality). Having said that, I use my DVD player with my Philips...

Philips DVP 3120 - nice little DVD player

Advantages: Fair price
Disadvantages: Sound is ok - but not brilliant

...-burned ones, DVD?s I bought in the US ( you have to set it up for this) and the UK and it?s also compatible with DIVX( movies you download from the internet). You can also see your camera images, as it has a memory card slot. The regional set up can be changed for nearly any DVD player. You just need to do a bit of internet search. So this is not specific to the Philips DVP 3120. There are of course disadvantages. But I found it not to bad considering the price, like the sound, memory availability... . Overall: If you look for a cheap DVD player, don?t want the newest one with all the available features, just want this as something simple for your bedroom or the kids ? this is the perfect buy....

Philips DVP5960

Advantages: price, upscaling option, impressive playback features
Disadvantages: remote a bit fiddly

...With the increasing influence of High Definition and more and more products lining our shelves the demand is now catching up with the technology and budget DVD players with impressive HD upscaling are a cost effective option if you want to grab a piece of the action and enjoy an altogether better audio visual experience. With an attractive price tag the Philips DVP 5960 boasts a range of features you would expect from a player twice the price. Once connected via a HDMI(High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable you have the option to select the picture resolution or use the automatic setting which will do the job for you, resulting pictures from standard DVD's are noticebaly sharper and colours more vibrant. You will need a HD ready TV to benefit and a large flat screen should do justice to the players impressive image...

Philips DVP 5100/05 DivX DVD Player

Advantages: Plays multiple DVD formats and Video File Formats, Not Too Expensive
Disadvantages: The slot loading draw takes a while to eject.

...This unit has many positive attributes, but also a few negative. -Positives- I was searching the net for a decent DivX standalone player. I was looking for one which plays multiple file formats and multiple DVD types. This unit seemed to play the widest variety whilst still being in my price range. The Philips DVP5100 will play DivX, Xvid, MPEG1 /2 /4, SVCD, JPEG Disc, MP3 Disc and a few other types listed on the manufacturer's website. It has played every kind of DVD I have thrown at it also, including DVD+R's, which not all machines play. I was very happy about this as I'd just bought 100 of the things. I haven't had any problems playing discs up to now, this machine has easily handled a disc with 17 separate DivX files and they all played fine. The picture and sound quality is great. The unit has a Progressive Scan...

Philips DVP 3100V

Advantages: Plays large range
Disadvantages: not multi regional

...We bought the Philips DVP3100v DVD/VCR combi as it plays a large range of media types and has a 6 head VCR player with PAL I and PAL B/G which is suitable for UK and Australia. The DVD player does recognize my home movies in divX format (converted from wmv format - Windows Movie Maker files) and standard jpeg photos on CD-R discs - which is great. Unfortunately, we have not managed to make this machine multi-regional despite attempts at the more widely recommended hacks. However, the biggest problem has been the poor quality of VCR playback with some videos virtually unwatchable with flickering black screens enough to frustrate even our four year old. The manual tracking function doesn\'t help and now the Automatic Tracking doesn\'t seem to work (despite pressing \"0\" as the manual suggests). We have no problems with our 10 year old 2...

Review of Philips DVP3100V

Plays any disc

Advantages: With multi-region feature
Disadvantages: None

...Philips DVP3310 When my old DVD player died, I wanted an immediate replacement for it since there are DVDs that I really love to watch over and over like Titanic, Somewhere in Time and Face-Off. My toddler also loves to watch ?Tom and Jerry Show? almost every morning. I?m not really that keen on DVD player?s technicalities so I really didn?t know what to look for in a DVD player. I was just used to plug, play and watch on my old DVD player. Some of my DVDs are not playable on my former player. Somebody told me that I needed to get a multi-region DVD player that plays all kinds of discs. I started my internet search on a multi-region DVD player and I ended up ordering Phillips DVP3310 and paid £45 for it. The delivery was quick. I ordered it Monday and it arrived Thursday morning. In the box *Phillips DVP3310 DVD...

MY Philips DVD Player

Advantages: Looks nice, fairly priced and great audio/visual
Disadvantages: None as of yet

...--Introduction-- There is at last another addition to the Philips electrical family in our household. I am very pleased to say that this DVD player is a gift to me and now sits proudly in the seclusion of my own bedroom. I have been waiting for a while for my very own DVD player because there often isn't a solid two or so hours free time on the main living room television. It means that I hardly ever get to watch DVD's which can be very annoying. This DVD player is fairly up-market, a decision we made so that it would have a longevity and wouldn't need replacing for a number of years yet. This was purchased in store at Comet for £125 and it can be found at amazon.co.uk for £119.99. --Picture Playback-- The televison that the DVD player is wired up to, is around five years old but the quality is excellent. The pictures are...

Review of Philips DVP 5960

A Solution For Your Resolution!

Advantages: can upscale to 1080p, can zoom into movies, has HDMI connection, rather cheap
Disadvantages: not a lot of buttons on the player ( could be trouble if you lose the remote)

...When I moved to University I thought it would be a good idea to buy a new T.V and DVD player. As technology is moving fast I decided to buy this Philips DVP3980 DVD player for £49.99 From Currys. What is so special about this DVD player? Well apart from being cheap, this Philips DVD player has an HDMI connection on its back, which enables the DVD player to upscale the resolution to a real 1080p high definition (HD). The TV I bought had 720p, therefore the DVD player up scales to 720p when connected with an HDMI cable. The picture quality is very impressive and rather clear compared to standard TV. The DVD player is black in colour (which is the new colour in technology), stylish and very light (only weighs 2.5kg). The philips DVD player does not only have one connection. Like any other DVD player it also have a Scart connection...
