worth the money

i own this player and compared it with a samsung blu ray player, both connected via a HDMI cable to a samsung HDTV and to be honest with the exception of minute visual details this player and its upscaling ability is worth it. the blu ray costs over 300 dollars and this player made me realize blu ray still has along way to go to be worth the money, but until then buy this play, invest in a HDMI cable and enjoy crisper scenes and details and the new life this player brings to your "old" dvds.

Excellent, and inexpensive DVD player

I've only had it a few days, but am extremely happy with it. However, as mentioned before in a previous review, the display is a joke. Even sitting up close to it the display is almost useless. Fortunately I don't depend on the display much, but for those that do, you will be very disappointed in it. However, given what the system can do, and how well it does it, that can easily be overlooked. I've run some old movies and some concert videos through it and they all come out really great. This is one player that will not disappoint you if you're looking for an inexpensive, but feature rich DVD player.

very good product

This product is excellent for the price. The picture is great and the sound is very good, plays pretty much any video format.Very good colors and clear image. Very satisfied with it, considering the fact that it has hdmi output, 1080p upconversion, digital optical and coaxial outputs. Here is the 3 things I do not like but for the price again no big deal: The loading tray is very thin and looks like it will break easy, but as of now is ok. The display is extremely tiny so you almost do not see it from 6 feet distance, kind of annoying since you do not know how much from the movie you have seen. The player is black, but the remote silver color. They do not match. As far as performance no complains at all, but happy.
