Sony DVP-NS425P Progressive Scan DVD Player, Silver
Overall Very Unhappy.
I was running through the many DVD players that would support all the formats I needed.  Typically I was thinking of staying in the 80 dollar range.  Then I saw this Sony on sale for 99.99.  I thought, Great a DVD player that plays ALL the formats, and Im getting a Sony.<br />Much like the other user, I have stalling issues through out any DVD I put in.  It is NOT issues with the disk.  But even worse is the terrible problems it has with darker transitions.  For instance:<br />When its a black screen and you have credits that pop up....you see a darker patch of black across the screen fully -------Directed By Ridley Scott----------.  Like that.   It also has similar problems during movie play.  One scene, A guy was in a darkened closet, and clearly your meant to see him vaguely.  Instead, I got negative (like a negative from a picture) effect over his face.  It did this same thing with several other movies.<br />Lastly, the ease of use is just horrific.  I dare any of you to buy this product and think this Unit is convenient.  Lack of FF, or RW speeds, Menu options that are poorly put together.  Skipping through scenes is a horrific battle.<br />On the plus sides, the picture, when not affected by this units darker places problems, is pretty dag gone crisp.  <br />Has lots of nice picture quality setups, and sound setups.<br />Plays all the formats for those of you who needs a guaranteed play em all unit.<br />Was the best looking unit I saw in many online and retail markets.<br />Overall, the studdering, and the picture quality issues makes this unit a big ol negative.  I suggest finding something better.
