Digital camera reviews of Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media SupportDigital camera Review: Awful DVD player - failed after 5 months Summary: 1 StarsSpent a little more to get what I *thought* was decent quality from Philips, but it failed after 5 months (2 months out of warranty). An e-mail to the company yielded repair/replacement options that cost more than buying a new player. It suddenly started giving "NO DISC" readings upon inserting a disc. Tried resetting it and shaking it :) to no avail.
Apart from the failure, the remote control and buttons are very small (and you have to be pointing right at it), and there are few buttons on the unit itself, making it difficult to do anything without the remote handy.
Look elsewhere and spend a few more $$ to get a reliable player! Read a lot of good reviews (and very few "dead after 6 months" reviews) for:

Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured from the original analogue sound wave form, giving a much richer audio reproduction.Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and listening pleasure. 12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-Analogue-Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother graduation of colors, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The limitation of the usual 10bit DAC become in particular apparent while using large screens and projectors. The attractive enclosure has a very low profile.

Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time.
