Digital camera reviews of Philips DVP5982 HDMI 1080p DivX Ultra DVD Player

Digital camera Review: A perfect DVD player for serious movie fans
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this DVD player with two goals in mind. First, I just purchased my first high def television. Although I plan on buying a Sony Playstation 3 in the very near future to play Blu-ray discs on, I own several hundred older DVDs that either cannot be replaced or that I couldn't afford to replace even if Blu-ray alternatives are available. So I wanted an Up-conversion DVD player that would maximize the potential of the discs I already owned. This player does an outstanding job of this. I've retained my former DVD player because it is a DVD player/VHS player. The difference between DVDs played on that player and this one is striking.

The second goal was to get a player that would play discs from any region. I'm a big lover of British cinema. [...]. For instance, I love the films of British comic actors like Alastair Sim and Will Hay. You can find only very little Sim and absolutely no Hay in Region 1 format discs. But now I can order those discs from Amazon UK in Region 2 format. All those films I saw ages ago in various film societies will now be available for me to own.

I will add that one reviewer mentioned how flimsy the disc tray is. I will second that. It hasn't broken but it definitely feels delicate. Apart from this caveat this is close to a perfect player.

Summary of Philips DVP5982 HDMI 1080p DivX Ultra DVD Player

Philips High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) It features an HDMI output, capable of upconverting video signals to 720p/1080i . This technology enables it to carry high-definition audio and video information through a single cable and achieving the highest quality picture and clearest sound available. Progressive Scan This is a progressive scan DVD player, capable of scanning an entire video frame at once; scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. The result is a spectacularly clear image with no motion artifacts (stair-stepping), and details so sharp they seem as if they're etched onto the screen. Built-in Multi-Channel Decoders This has built-in processors to handle the multi-channel decoders for Dolby Digital and DTS surround-sound, capable of advanced 24-bit processing and an outstanding sampling frequency of 192KHz. DivX Ultra Home Theater Certified DivX is video compression software which enables high quality video to be compressed into very small files then downloaded onto CD-R or CD-RW and played back with very little loss of quality. Multi-Format Player Don't worry about limited playback capabilities, it plays DVD Audio/Video, DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W, CD, CD-R/W, SVCD, DivX Ultra, MP3, WMA, JPEG, HD-JPEG and TIFF.
