DVD Forum Reviews

DVD is the future of home entertainment. Until they invent something else you might think but consider how long the mighty video has lasted. The advantage with DVD (other than impressing your friends who don't own one yet) is that you get to watch the movie with digital sound and picture quality. This isn't quite so useful if you have an ...  Read the complete review

I have a dvd player in my computer and i dont understand what all the hype is about because the quality is not that much better than any videos i have. Infact the only thing which i think they have improved is that u now need less storage space, and that means very little when a lot of the greatest all time flims are not on dvd. In my opinion its ...  Read the complete review

Dvd is very good and has excellent picture and sound quality that very easily supasses anything you've been use to on VHS or even SVHS if you've got it. It doesn't matter what DVD machine you've got really. Even the cheapest of the cheap player will give you simply stunning playback that is very good compared to anything ...  Read the complete review

I work for an electronics retailer, and about 2 months after the fist cheaper DVD players came on the market (the sub £1000 ones) we had a demo from a rep of a leading company. He showed us a nice demo on two identical top of the range 32" widescreens of a DVD on one and a VHS on the other, both in 2.35:1 widescreen. The disk / video ...  Read the complete review

For those people who haven't yet discovered DVD's or those who have but still have reservations about buying, stop worrying and go out and buy one. For those people who regularly rent/buy videos a DVD is essential. Imagine your video player with a picture 100 times better, no rewinding, fastforwarding and rewinding with no snowstorm ...  Read the complete review

This is the coolest thing ever! The liquid plasma screen is amazing. The images are so sharp and far superior to that of a normal TV screen and those equal (even better?), than a PC monitor. A film wouldn't be complete without the sound, right? Well, the sound surpasses the picture. You wouldn't expect much from two small ...  Read the complete review

DVD players (Digital Versatile Disc) which was launched in the UK in 1998 are capable of playing movies pressed on to a 5 inch CD. They are backwards compatible too so a DVD player will also play standard audio CDs. Since its launch DVD has been very successful. Players from the top manufacturers, Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba etc have been ...  Read the complete review

I don't think that anyone (not even me) could argue that the picture and sound quality on a DVD are superb. They are a reasonable price, especially if you order over the internet or shop around for good deals such as buy 2 get 1 free. The reason that a lot of people have't got the players is (price I guess) but that they can't ...  Read the complete review

£180 from unbeatable.co.uk, bought on the back of a thumbs-up from a magazine, and it's really good - region-free, with splendid sound & picture & lots of processing extras (DTS and Dolby digital, optical out). No problems with any DVDs I've tried so far, incl. The Matrix, which is too much for some players (eg, the Matsui 110). ...  Read the complete review

I think that DVD is a revolution, but will it replace videos? I think that before it can do this DVD's will need to be able to record! Ate the moment DVD is great for watching films but is made useless if you need to tape an episode of Eastenders. This is very important because otherwise everyone will need to have separate video and DVD ...  Read the complete review

This is the cute one, you know, the little silver player that everyone seems to use to show just how nice and sexy a DVD player can be. I'll give you a rundown if the kit I've got mine hooked up to first. TV: 28" 4:3 TV Audio: VideoLogic Digitheatre Dolby Digital Surround Sound System This little player ...  Read the complete review

This is a low to midrange player and is available from many locations. Primarily Region 2, it can handle VCDs Cds and DVDs. Region 1 access is possible by a mod chip from Techtronics, or by a code on the handset (WARNING will work for only 25 region changes before it permanently sets). There are a 710s available from Richer Sounds which ...  Read the complete review

I got this player from dixons, reeduced from £280 to £200. Its my first DVD player, and I got it for a number of reasons. 1) It is multi region hackable via the remote control (and I guarantee this works, i played r1 Scream 3 today) 2)It was guaranteed to play the Matrix and Something About Mary (2 problematic discs on other ...  Read the complete review

digital versitile disc, otherwise known as DVD had arrived. Initially written off as another 'laser disc' (a big late '80's failure), few guessed at how it would take over the video industry. The best visual example of its growth can be found on your local high street. When DVD first arrived they were displayed on tiny ...  Read the complete review

I originally bought a proline DVD player about 18 months ago from Woolies when they were cheap and wasnot impressed! It wouldn't play Matrix for one thing, so we took it back and got a refund and bought a SMART DVD player instead. There are 2 models available now, one that plays MP3 and one that does not. It can do everything else ...  Read the complete review

What to Look for in DVD Players: 1. Playable Formats Most DVD players will play both audio and video CDs; some also play laserdiscs. Keep in mind that most DVD players sold in America won't play discs sold in Europe or Japan, and vice versa. A "code free" or "multiregion" DVD player can play foreign discs, but it ...  Read the complete review

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is the newest video technology, as I am sure you may be aware. I talk to computer newbies who have DVD drives without knowing, and I introduce them to the Matrix on DVD - they like...
