Apex AD2600 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Value for money!
I bought this DVD player mainly because my old Sharp DVD player could not play most of the DVDs from the store that I rent from and I had to watch them using my PC's DVD-Rom player.  Well, this Apex DVD player turned out great! It plays basically every media I've tested so far, even an old VCD that I ripped years ago and the rental DVD that couldn't be played on my old $200 Sharp player! I have to say I'm also pretty impressed by the user interface for playing JPEG, MP3 and MPEG files stored on CD-Rs/DVDs.  It's almost like having a media player/file manager built into the DVD player.  I did not want to have high expectations for this Apex player because of the price but it is definitely working out much better than what I would expect from an expensive high-end player.  What more can you ask for from a $40 DVD player?  I guess I'm just lucky to get a good working unit! Hope the unit lasts as I've only had it for 3 days.  And the slim form-factor together with the mirror-like front panel sure makes the player look cool and pricey! One bad thing though, I find the remote-control a bit flimsy and I predict it will most probably 'die' before the player does.<BR>Finally, Amazon's free shipping is really getting good, it took only 3 working days for the player to reach me!
