Philips DVP5960/37


Product summary

The good: Relatively inexpensive; HDMI upconversion to 720p, 576p, and 1080i; DivX compatibility with decent playback performance; mostly solid video quality; front USB port for digital photos and music; ultraslim styling.

The bad: Annoying shift bug causes some black bars on movies; 576p mode is close to unwatchable; no S-Video output.

The bottom line: The Philips DVP5960/37 HDMI-upscaling DVD player is an excellent choice for budget-conscious HDTV owners and multimedia aficionados, and its DivX playback is a nice bonus.

Specs: Sound output mode: Stereo; Color: Silver; Weight: 4.4 lbs See full specs >>

Price range: $59.99 - $75.99
