An "ok" player - if you get it on sale, go for it, otherwise pass
|
I lucked out and bought the player brand new from one of the major national electronics dealers for $32. At this price, I consider this a steal.
However, if you pay $80 for a DVD player, I would not buy this one. The image is good. I also have a Sony 5-disk changer DVD player that "only" puts out 1080i, and the Toshiba puts out 1080P. I prefer the Sony's image quality. The reality is that a good DVD player is going to get you to 480P. Anything over that is really pointless. My Sony DVD player has lots of image settings that you can tweak (black levels, etc). The Toshiba effectively has none (except for widescreen modes).
Also, the Toshiba does not "remember" where you are when watching a DVD and you turn the power off. It just starts over. My Sony (and mother's cheapo JVC) both have memory features, which is VERY nice.
The response time is OK by my standards. It actually responds significantly faster than my Sony DVD player. It isn't instant, but it is fast enough for my purposes.
The front panel of the player has minimal buttons. It looks nice, but you I like to be able to switch audio modes, fast forward, and rewind just in case I don't have the remote handy. Also, the blue light surrounding the tray looks cool for about 10 seconds, and then it gets old. If you are somewhat picky about your home theater lighting, you might want to avoid this player for that reason alone.
I have a Toshiba TV (which I love), so I am happy with my purchase. One remote and one HDMI cable does the trick. For the price I paid, it was a deal. The picture does look nice. But if you are going to spend $80 on a player, I would look elsewhere (Sony, etc). |
