Cheap and very capable DVD upscaler for the money


Bad Points

Remote fast forward and skip functions share the same buttons so can be tricky to get desired function.


General Comments

I purchased the Philips DVP 5980 player following reviews and the desire to obtain an up-scaler for a 720p projector I was using with a standard DVD player. I also didn't want to spend a `fortune' on a player which would be obsolete when blue ray players became as cheap as DVD players are now. It has only been used with the projector (as I don ' t yet own a HD TV) and the images have been very impressive and definitely provide a better picture than was being displayed from my main player. I haven ' t yet attempted the multi region hack to advise on this capability but intend to shortly. In my opinion and for the money it provides excellent value.
