Konka KD1800U1 DVD Player
Good value in a low-end unit.
The Konka KD1800 is exactly what is purports itself to be; a  budget-priced, reliable, low-end DVD player.  The 'low-end' tag applies  more to the units electronic response than to its sound or video  reproduction.<br />The Konka is simple to install, using either analog or  digital connections.  It produces a high quality video image and very  impressive sound.  There are a variety of fancy visual options which will  intrigue some users but probably be ignored by most, such as the variable  view angle capability.<br />The only significant drawback to the KD1800U1 is  its extremely slow response to the remote.  As almost all of the control  features are on the remote, this can be quite a nuisance.  The functions  are reliable and perform as advertised, they simply take forever to  activate.  If this is the only problem that manifests itself, however, it  is a small price to pay for the dollar savings in the purchase price.<br />The  final determination on any video system should be the quality of the image  it provides.  In that area, the Konka is superb.  The DVDs I have viewed  have been everything I expected.  They are clean, stable, and visually  impressive.  In a word, the visual product is excellent.<br />If you want a  high-end electronic toy with which to manipulate your DVDs, this unit is  not a good choice.  However, if you want a DVD player so that you can enjoy  the visual clarity and dynamic sound of DVDs, there is no reason to spend  more money.  The Konka KD1800U1 will satisfy your needs.
