An easy to use and an excellent DVD player. It is truly plug and play and the quality of audio and video is superb.

Plugged in the DVD player to my Sharp LCD last night and was over the moon with the result. Connected through the HDMI lead the 1080i picture and sound are just brilliant. I am a very fussy guy when it comes to my picture quality but this just blew me away. I used the region hack which was spot on...slammed in Transformers and was amazed at the sharpness, colour and incredible look of the picture. I really didn't want to have to replace my DVD collection just yet with Blu-Ray and until I can afford such an extravagance this will do more than nicely for me...I would heartily recommend upscaling DVD technology. At this price it would rude not to!!!

I bought this on 2 April 08 and as of last night {10 May 08} it no longer works.

Everything seemed to go fine until about 3 days ago when the sound started to act up and last night it finally bit the dust.

I'm not a happy camper and would not recommend this piece of garbage to anyone else.

lovely player..............wow its wide !!!!!!!!!!!! - 23 Apr 2008

After a lot of looking around I went for this DVP5980, very slim but was surprised how wide it is !!!!!!!!
One of the reasons was the USB connection and so far it has played all the AVI movies I have thrown at it, i do only use a 1gb memory stick ( formatted in FAT32 ) and i have tried MOV files on it and it does not like these, so as long as you have AVI files you should be OK.
Regarding the upscaling picture, i tried Spiderman and was very delighted with the sharpness of the picture and improved sound, I was never expected to be blown away ( after all this is not Blu-Ray ) but overall i was very happy with the upscaling.
The player itself is a nice looking machine but as stated eariler is a lot wider than i expected, i was after a player to match along side my Sky Plus box and this player is a good 4 or 5 inches wider than that !!!
The reason I have knocked it on the stars is because of the remote and menu, the menu is pretty poor and can be tricky to get around, also the remote is cheap looking and doubles up on a number of functions.
Overall if your looking for a bargain DVD player for upscaling and USB connection this a lovely player and you should get one...........
Just remember the width !!!!!!!!!!!!

At first I thought that this player was excellent value for money, but faults soon started to emerge, the main one being a a jagged judder effect through all pans. At first this seemed like a minor fault but over time this started to wear thin. I thought it might be a defect, but having received another player of the same model and using different DVDs and HDMI cables I realized that it wasn't the case. I would advise people to avoid.
