Customer Reviews

Still remarkable at twice the price point
This piece of technology is a slim, unobtrusive addition to your TV stand that will truly transform your DVD collection. Accepting that the price difference of Blue R and ordinary DVDs remains significant AND the price of a BR player is still high, this upscaler provides a meaningful compromise. Only the most discerning movie watcher will notice the BR/Upscaled DVD differences. Until the prices of BR technology reduces this is an excellent product at 2 or 3 times the price point. Removing the region code is a simple task, although be very careful regarding sites which offer codes which do not work. And finally, for the best results do use a full 1080p TV. While very capable on lower specifications, the higher quality is worth the experience.

Highly recommended player
I sold my xbox 360 HD player as soon as i heard that HD had lost the format war, no big deal for me as i only had a couple of HD films anyway, i now needed a decent player to hook up to my 40" Bravia, i could have gone the whole hog and gone for a blu-ray player, but i dont really watch enough DVD's to warrant the cost, so went for, in my opinion, the next best thing, an upscaling DVD player, i have to say, the picture quality via HDMI is EXCELLENT, after trying a few DVD's i was amazed at how good the picture was that this player puts out, if like me, your not quite ready to jump on the Blu-ray band wagon, you cant go far wrong with this player for £70.00

Pleasantly surprised
My sister bought me this item for christmas to go with my new 1080p samsunsg 40" LCD, and I must say I was surprised at the level of improvement over my previous toshiba progressive scan dvd player, I compared this player with my brothers toshiba hddvd player and my old sddvd player using the Transformers movie (both formats) on boxing day and the gap between sd, upscaling and hddvd were consistent and clearly noticeable from one to the next, even to my missus' eye who isn't normally interested in type of stuff. All in all well worth it just to refresh your dvd collection til the bluray hddvd nonsense is resolved.

It also displays digital pictures beautifully from disc.
