Strengths: I have NetFlix and most of the movies are scratched and this dvd player seems to work around that, quite a bit, better than my older Sony.

Weaknesses: The only thing I have noticed is that it seems to take a while to load the dvd info. However, I don't see this as a major problem. Oh, and its not blue-ray, but I won't pay those prices anyway.

Summary: This dvd player seems to work well. I have no complaints thus far.I just hope it stand the test of time like my old Sony, I had for about 15 years.
