Rating : - Near HD quality (when used with HDMI cable) at a low price
It's hard to beat beat all the features for this extremely low price. I already have 2 units and am considering buying a 3rd.

As long as you purchase & use a quality HDMI cable, the picture quality is excellent. The cable doesn't need to be expensive, but it must be HDMI to benefit from upscaling. If you use the cables included with the unit, you will not benefit from upscaling.

The player can recall where you stopped watching for up to 6 DVDs.

The unit is slim and only 8" deep. The DVD player needs ventilation. It will get hot if used in enclosed places such as behind glass cabinet doors.

This is an excellent alternative to anyone who isn't ready to take the HD-DVD or Blu-Ray plunge.

I've had no problems with this unit and highly recommend it.
