Strengths: Slim playerPlays DVD, Audio CD, Video CD.Accepts MP3/WMA, JPEG, DivX

Weaknesses: None identified

Summary: Excellent budget player. It accepts different Disc types and formats, including CDs or DVDs created on your computer.Got it for a little bit less than $40, SH included.

Strengths: Sleek, Divx compatible, Cheap

Weaknesses: Remote is not very impressive

Summary: I got this one for around $40. Plays Divx pretty well. Its sleek.It can run multiregion DVD easily. I have a transferrable job so I can take this in any country as it supports NTSC and PAL.This is my second DVD Player. First one was DVP5140-Philips. I cannot tell the difference between the two. This one is smaller and cheaper. I found that feature wise both are same.

Strengths: small, thin, Can play multi-formats

Weaknesses: the button are way too small

Summary: The thing is very cool looking. Thin/slim, plays practically any disc format. Impressed with HDMI digital video and audio connection. However, the button are way too small, you must use the remote control, or it's hard to find the right button from the machine.

Strengths: N/A

Weaknesses: N/A

Summary: I already had DVD player before. I was very happy with my unit but I couldn't play DivX/Xvid AVI files burned onto CD-R media. So I purchase this unit to watch my burned DVDs. The best thing about this player is, very compact, the sound is just too good, Video quality is also amazing. It is defenitely one of the best unit for this price. It almost have all basic features of DVD players. I am very happy with the unit as I can watch my all Dvd now. Cool buyer with Cool price.

Strengths: ease of operation, multiple formats supported

Weaknesses: haven't found any yet

Summary: I selected this unit to fit smaller spaces, most others are deeper and wider. Why this is so, I cannot understand. It so far has performed exceptionally well, I use it to play pre-recorded DVD's, some of which I've reproduced to play in the car on trips as well as other locations without risking damage to original. At Bestbuy, it cost 39.99 regular, and 35.99 on sale @ Bstbuy.com (store will do price match if asked).

Strengths: Plays DivX files very well.Cheap.

Weaknesses: Only progressive scan component video out for 480p quality output.Only coax digital audio connection - no optical out.

Summary: Already having a Sony upscaling DVD player and an Xbox 360 for playing DVDs, I bought this unit strictly to play DivX files burned to CD/DVD. It's cheap in price, has basic HD connections, but most importantly, it plays DivX files extremely well. The quality of DivX material I've viewed with the player is easily equal to, if not better than, the quality of the same video files playing on a PC and monitor setup. I can burn 6 full-length DivX-encoded movies to a single DVD-R and so far this player has played every DivX file I've thrown at it. For the money, this DivX player can't be beat. If you need upscaling, HDMI, optical out, etc., Philips makes higher end models than this one with those features.
