Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
You get what you pay for, and it ain't much
Sure, this thing plays everything and anything under the sun. Sure, its loaded with plenty of features for the price. But, it doesn't come close in video quality to my 5-year old Sony unit it replaced. I've tried many various settings combinations, but I can't get rid of the period horizontal color shifts. Another very annoying \\"feature\\" is that when a movie is stopped mid-stream and you turn off the player, next time you start from the begining. Remote control layout is so weak that it becomes frustrating after awhile, not just a light annoyance. For the money, its great. As a cheapest way into progressive scan DVD, its great. As a great, or even average DVD player - not even close.
