Philip DVP5982/27 DVD player

Strengths: 1080p upconvert, HDMI support, USB port

Weakness: Remote, not showing long file name

Great player. Easily make it region free. Play avi (MPEG1, MPEG2, DivX3~ 6) files from external hard driver directly, you need to format the hard drive into Fat 32. The picture is so clear when using HDMI cable upconverting an ordinary DVD to 720P or 1080i. Haven’t tried 1080P because my LCD TV doesn’t support 1080P. But the HDMI cable is not included, you need buy one. It doesn’t have...

DVD player Philips DVP5982

Strengths: Multifunctional, price, dimentsions, reliable

Weakness: Remote (but for this price?)

I guess it is classic model for usual customer. I had previous model and I was satisfied with it, but I bought a new TV and I need a new HD player. I use this unit and for DivX and for other sources and I have no problems with sound or image.

Economical Media Player !!!

Strengths: Can play via USB, HDMI support, Divx support

Weakness: None I found till now

This one has a USB port on the front which is a great advantage. Although its not mentioned that it can play Divx format from USB, but it does pretty well. The display is excellent. The remote has a USB Button, which toggles between the USB device and the DVD. It has big display considered others in the same range. Another advantage is that it supports NTSC as well as PAL system. Also some sites...

Great PQ, feature-packed and CHEAP!!

Strengths: Plays everything, 1080p upconversion, USB 2.0, HDMI

Weakness: Doesn't support long file names over USB :(

I was about to buy an Oppo 970HD when I heard about this new Philips player. Found it at BB for $69, so I took a chance. I'm glad I did. PROS: cheap, upconverts to 1080p, HDMI output, very good picture quality (Mediatek chipset), black finish, slim, plays everything (including NTSC/PAL), USB 2.0 port (media must be formatted as FAT32), plays divx files, supports Dolby-Digital and DTS passthru...

If Swiss Army made a DVD player, this would be it

Strengths: Plays tons of video and audio formats, including divx and divx ultra, will read just about any disc thrown at it, has USB port to read files, cheap, nice black styling, HDMI, etc.

Weakness: No S-Video, no optical audio port, cheap remote, slow start up time, only remembers last position of five last movies played, divx subtitles have strange background

This is easily the best budget DVD player available, period. It's available at some retailers as low as $60. It plays all my divx files, divx ultra, MP3, and more from just about any type of disc (CD-R, DVD+R, etc.). Additionally, there is a USB port on the front (despite hype, it only transfers at USB 1.1 rates, not 2.0) that will read flash drives and some hard drives. It's a great option to...

DVP5982/37 DVD Player (HDMI)

Strengths: Support 1080p and has USB input for DIVX files.

I have a Sharp Aquos 1080p LCD TV. Before I bought this DVD player I have a 480p DVD/VCR combo. The image quality is poor when I play DVD on it. But I don't want spend couple hundred dollars on blu-ray dvd player. DVP5982 got a pretty good price along with a USB input. I have been searching this kind of dvd player in the market for quite some time and this is just I have been waiting for. The...

Good economical DVD player

Strengths: Slick lightweight design, USB port, many formats accepted, ability to upgrade Firmware, upconversion to 1080p

Weakness: Remote - no Eject button and very basic, slow operations (power, eject etc.)

I bought this DVD player to upconvert to 720P signal which my new digital TV can take. The picture quality is OK, I can not make out huge difference between 480p and 720p on my TV but 720P signal is little better then using component video which gives me 480p. There is no eject button on the remote. Both power and eject operations takes little while, in particular eject takes @ 30 seconds to...

Ok, it don't play everything, but plays most!!!

Strengths: DIVX, cheap, easily convert to region free player and USB port.

Weakness: Slow loading, Cheap remote. Remember last play on only one disc.

This player play almost everything and you can search the web to teach you how to on most stuff, region free, Hard drive tricks, etc. So far I know you can't play MP4 and real Media. If you want to play all you downloads, just convert them to DIVX. Buy this affordable player to fulfill most needs.
