Toshiba SD-4980 DVD Player with HDMI and DivX Playback
Poor design
Here are the good things: it does play DVDs, the remote works, and the apparent upconvert works as well. <br /> <br />Here are the bad things: DVD playback freezes periodically; the remote works poorly with limited angle tolerance and requiring multiple pressing of the keys at times; there is an annoying blue light on the tray door that can be dimmed via the setup menu, but then comes back to default after turning the player off; and finally, the selection of upconvert (1080i or 720p) is not retained after being set once the player is turned off. <br /> <br />This player is being returned tomorrow. I am very disappointed with Toshiba and think they have some serious rework of their design department ahead of them.
