DVD Players Reviews

"When the DVP-NS710H/B Plus DVD Player was first released by Sony, it started customers' tongues wagging...One of the reasons that customers are wild about this DVD player specifically is its unbelievably low price...But, rest assured that this is no problem with the DVP-NS710H/B Plus DVD Player...That alone makes the purchase of this DVD player a good one..." read more »

"The DVD-2500BTCI also features Dolby 7.1 channel TrueHD, DivX format playback, picture-in-picture and Blu-ray secondary video and audio data playback...Performance of the DVD-2500BTCI is outstanding when used with Blu-ray discs...The support for advanced Blu-ray features is as good as it gets in this price range, and the included remote is actually usable, which is something you don’t usually expect from Denon...It’s price is quite high when compared to players with more overall features, but the support for the Blu-ray format can’t be beat in this price range..." read more »

"Good upscaling > Natural colour reproduction...Flimsy build > Tiny display...But with brands like Philips, Toshiba and Samsung selling upscaling decks for as little as £40, what's so special about Onkyo's DV-SP406 that it retails for £100...The DV-SP406 delivers glitch-free upscaled images with clarity and sharpness, and takes fast-moving scenes in its stride...Upscaling via HDMI brings definite noticeable benefits, particularly in terms of picture sharpness..." read more »

"JVC has finally entered the Blu-ray market with the XV-BP1, a lower-priced model that appears to be based on LG's Blu-ray design, as it sports the exact same user-friendly menu structure...We have not performed a hands-on review of the XV-BP1, but here is an overview of its features...As I mentioned, the XV-BP1 has onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding, and it also passes these high-resolution audio formats in their native bitstream form over HDMI, for your A/V receiver to decode...The XV-BP1's disc drive supports BD, DVD, CD audio, AVCHD, MPEG4, MP3, WMA, and JPEG playback..." read more »

"Such recipe tinkerings or enhancement approaches are not limited to culinary delights, however, and certainly audio designers, among others, have taken good advantage of similar pursuits...Underwood sells the DVP-3910 Ultimate with varied levels of modifications, which can be purchased either as a completed package, in steps, or retrofitted to an already owned unit based upon the owner's desires...While the nature of each level of modification is very detailed, I'll present some of the high points here and recommend a visit to their website for further information about the subtle alterations..." read more »

"No built-in memory for BD-Live Remote not backlit; display doesn't show time...At $400 (as of 2/18/09), the Panasonic DMP-BD55K is expensive...But its superb image quality, excellent design, and wide feature set make the DMP-BD55K a tempting choice for shoppers with deep enough pockets......" read more »

"The only difference between them is that the BDP-51FD features a few cosmetic tweaks and is fitted with inferior video DACs...The BDP-51FD's gloss-black fascia feels more plasticky than the LX71, plus it replaces the touch-sensitive buttons found on the pricier player with normal ones, and abandons the silver trim around the play button...Also disappointing is that the BDP-51FD shares the LX71's inability to decode DTS HD Master Audio soundtracks internally, which means you only get the DTS core from the multichannel analogue outputs...Your DVD collection is also in good hands thanks to the deck's 1080p upscaling capabilities, and so is your digital media collection - the player accepts DivX, AVCHD, MP3, WMA and JPEG files, and spins a wide array of disc formats..." read more »

"Plays all disc formats Inexpensive Superb video quality Embarrasses high end players...Slow BD-Live...performance Expect some firmware updates...However, I really like the disk and have no problems with other BDs...So if the DTS-MA bitstream is being decoded at your A/V receiver you can be sure that you're hearing the DTS-MA format...No flags on the player, just silence......" read more »
