Excellent picture quality
The player is slim and looks cool with charcoal black color. So easy to navigate all menus including upscaling resolution thru HDMI output that is set-up in one of the menu screens. One touch HDMI button on the remote makes the setting between HDMI output and other video outputs easily changeable. The picture quality thru whatever HDMI resolution is superb and could not be inferior to other branded stuffs. This player could be converted into multi-region setting ; Keep the DVD tray open, then input "9999 + 9".
Dissapointed
Had this unit for less than 2 months. I have only played about 2 dozen films on it during this period. It now refuses to play any disk whatsoever whether it be audio or movie. It just keeps on displaying "Bad Disk" Very dissapointed as it had good reviews. I could have got a Sumvision with similar spec for about ten pounds cheaper which is what I will now probably end up doing now.
Terrible
This worked perfectly for a couple of weeks, but then it started to not want to play certain discs (Region 1 and 2), claiming they were 'BAD' even though they were brand new. When it does choose to play a dvd, it clearly doesn't enjoy it as it usually jumps and gets stuck at certain parts of films (usually about an hour in). When this happens you can hear it trying to do something, but it doesn't resolve itself and pressing any of the buttons does nothing. Well except the eject button, which is the only way to stop this annoyance. On a few dvd's it loads the menus, but when you select to play the movie it does nothing and you can't do anything to get to it to play it. I wasn't expecting a high-quality dvd player from 'Daytek', but i did expect it to at least play dvd's without fuss.
The only good thing is the upscalling picture quality, but that's worthless if it refuses to actually play the damn thing. If Daytek set out to make the most annyoing, aggrovating and useless dvd player with 1080i upscalling, then a job well done guys.
