This review is of the Argos Value Range DVD Player, a basic low-end player. I needed a new DVD player, but was just looking for a functional machine rather than one with more features, and which would have had a higher price tag. I saw this machine in Argos, and it was surprisingly well rated on the Argos web-site. I've taken some information about the playback facilities of the machines from the spec offered by Argos, as I'm just content putting in standard DVDs from an on-line rental service. It is compatible however with DVD, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW. The machine has one scart cable connector, as well as a connector for S-Video. The ...  Read the complete review

After my old dvd player (which I'd had for about 7 years) died a death, I decided to replace it. My previous dvd player was just a cheapo tesco value type one which cost me under £20, since it had served me well and I had no need for a fancy pants expensive dvd player I decided to try this argos value range one. I picked this up at my local argos store and it cost me £19.97, I bought it because it was the cheapest dvd player they had at the time (looking at the website now you can pick up an alba dvd player with 1/3 off for £15.99). It came securely packaged in a plain cardboard box, with instructions and the dvd player itself is just plain black coloured. Of ...  Read the complete review

Getting the package home I undid the brown paper surround and came across a standard looking box with a small amount of information inscribed about the product inside - just a few lines naming the thing. This ...  Read the complete review

After my rather expensive DVD player of just under a year suddenly decided to stop working, I decided that I wasn't going to waste my money on anything fancy, and just get a dvd player that simply does what it's meant to - play DVDs! As always, the first place I checked was Argos, as I have bought other items from their value range that have ended up working perfectly fine for a long time. I found this DVD player for a little under £20 at the time, and bought it without looking too much into it, as I have already grown a trust with the Argos Range. The DVD player comes in a plain box with only instructions and a remote control. It is very simple in design ...  Read the complete review
