 A real Bargain October 13, 2008
Mr Cairo (Neath , U.K.)
Had this player to replace an old Samsung one that had a problem with stuttering and freezing and i have to say that so far i am not disappointed the picture is great the sound is excellent (after a little bit of messing in the setup menu) also the USB option to play files is just genius
It took only a few minutes to update the players firmware and then region free it , Myolder DVD's look great thanks to the upscaling and so far the player has coped with absolutely every file format i have tried only failing on MKV files
this player is well worth the money and time if you have a decent TV to go with it
and to point out to Mr. D. Maclennan (London) who reviewed below the title doesn't say region free it says region free "capable" meaning that it can be made region free if you follow the instructions online its not region free out of the box

EXCELLENT PICTURE...THAT IS if you are willing to shut your eyes towards the edges of the tv screen on both sides! which are..not sure which word to use...but i would say, totally blurred, as if it is a LENS effect!! that is the word..yes, all dvds i have tried, all regions..no hope. not my tv, occurs with HDMI cables which i use. the centre of the screen is just great picture, but what is the use for someone crazy about qualtiy!!!! save money for a bluray.
i bought it for its 1. multi region ability,(needs to enter code) 2. ability to play from USB,(as long as it does not require external power as with bigger capacity usb storage drives) and 3. ability to play movies from data dvd discs directly. all function very well!
HDMI upscaling??? rubbish! doesnt exist
SAVE MONEY FOR BLURAY! NUFF SAID

I bought this DVD player because my previous one broke. This is well priced, the HDMI upscalling is a really good feature and the other extras that come with this player are really good.
HOWEVER the title and discription says that it is multi-region...this is especially important as I have alot of American DVDs. However none of my American DVDs worked on this player. I have managed to get it to run the dvds only because I found a hack for it. But still they should not advertise as being multi-region when you can;t play American DVDs on it.
All in all I was disappointed with this, and I would recomend, if you are after multi region capability, that you buy something else.
Top Value does what I want September 6, 2008
Mr. John A. Warren (uk)
I read all reviews before buying this player.
For what it cost I think it is realy excellent.
Ok the remote is a bit cheap and the players tray seems a bit flimsy.
But the picture qualiy is very good on the 1080 upscaling and it plays MP3s JPegs and AVI files direct from a memory stick via the front usb slot.This means you can watch movies direct from the stick without bothering with all that burning and ending up with lots of discs to store.
Overall I am delighted with this player.
I do understand some of the compaints from other reviews but I think you will be hard pushed to find a better player for less than 50..if you want perfection then look elsewhere and pay much more.
