Sam, London

Score 9.0/10

+ plays any avi and mpeg file I have put on it. No matter how old the file is! Image quality is much better on the TV compared with playing the same video on a PC.
During playback it's so silent sometimes I thinks it's turned off!

- When playing dual layer DVDs it does not play them properly - Stick with single layer DVDs and it's all good!
It's a bit noisy when loading the disc or when skipping files.
It does not support some subtitle files so check before trying to load a subtitle file..

Will, Nottingham , “Postgraduate Student”

Score 9.0/10

+ Easy Usage. Plays almost any file on a DVD disc. I've bought two based on my experience of buying it first time around. The second one is at home with the parents. It's simple to use for them, lightweight and seems less prone to skipping/adjusting to DVD's.

- Not the prettiest machine, or indeed the best designed remote control.
