Advantages: Inexpensive, Great picture quality, DTS built in

Disadvantages: Fiddly remote, Less than obvious menus

I got one of these for £60 when I upgraded my mobile phone. So knowing nothing about DVD players, I bought it, figuring if it was no good I could take it back.

I was really surprised by it. Excellent picture quality and playback, it comes with a DTS decoder built in and a zoom facility that you normally only find on more expensive players. It also has a soft-hack to make it multi-region which is very simple to find ;) and do.

All in all for £60, it's a steal. The player is slim, sleek and doesn't look so inexpensive. The remote is a bit small and the button fiddly though. The firmware isn't great either but if I can work it without having to read the manual it can't be all bad.

Recommended.
