Advantages: Slim design, Stunning picture, Very, very simple to use

Disadvantages: Really can't think of any......., Oh yeah , no multi-region hack via handset...

I've played DVD's three different ways:

Through my computer connected to a TV.
Through my PS2
and now, through my shiny new Pioneer DV-444S and I tell you, nothing compares to this.

Not long after I purchased my Thomson 32WF45UG TV, the PS2's DVD capabilites started to look a little poor. Giving myself a 200 quid budget, I set out to find a DVD player. As with my TV, I did a lot of homework finding a top notch model, reading reviews and pouring over other peoples opinions. I came to the conclusion that this Pioneer player was one of the best in that price range.

Upon placing a shiny disc in the tray, I could instantly see how good this player is. Stunning is one word I could use to describe the picture. I watched The Phantom Menace again and I was noticing things in the background that I hadn't noticed before.

One thing I can't comment on is the sound. I'm currently only using the speakers on my TV so I can't really say how good the DTS output is on it. Although, the my TV the sound is quite good.

This player also plays VCD's and SVCD's brilliantly, not turning it's nose up to anything I've thrown at it so far. It's also capable of MP3 playback but I haven't tested that yet....

Lastly, the remote is excellent. It's layout is great and feel's good in your hand.


Anyway, I'm running out of things to say now....

My opinion is BUY ONE!! You won't be sorry...
