Paid $78 for this at a box store, should have known better. There is a reason it was only $78… After 4 movies, I was fed up and returned it. Spend a little more for a better unit, this is not it.

I picked this up for $78 on December 23 @ Wal Mart. I was looking for a regular DVD player for a new 720p LCD. This player was $78, a Sony DVD $68, and a Phillips DVD $50. I figured an extra $28 was a good enough deal.
Took it home, hooked it up via HDMI and the regular DVD quality was grainy. It did not live up to my Xbox 360 nor the Phillips $50 DVD player I went back and picked up.
I would recommend a better Blu-Ray player if you plan on playing mostly DVDs. I did not test this with Blu-Rays.

I bought this player on black friday.It works ok but has a very long pause during layer change that I really don’t like. I will probably bring it back and get a panasonic or sony player. You get what you pay for.

We received this as a gift this Christmas, and the kids were very excited to get it up and running. They finally got to watch the Blue-ray movie they got last Christmas!!!
Positives:
Out of the box and hooked up in under 5 minutes since there really isn’t much of a way to mess up (if you can read the directions and plug in cables!) As for resolutions/etc, we only hooked it up to run into an “old fashioned” CRT TV – the flat panel might come next Christmas! After it was all set up (I am a guy after all – the directions get read after setting it up!) there are settings for all sorts of features… maybe the guy that had grainy resolution on his 720p can check to make sure the HDMI is set to “auto” instead of “480″.
Negatives:
The only feature we miss is a display to show how far into the movie you are… there are several light on the front, but no display for minutes, tracks, etc. I have read through the manual and tried different things, just doesn’t appear to have one.
Conclusion:
Overall, easy to set up and easy to use, I wouldn’t have a problem recommending this to anyone so far (we’ll have to see on the reliability). Slow load times are common to every Blu-ray player I have used over the last couple years.

Got it as my first Blu-ray player after a number of both cheap and expensive regular DVD players. Not the fanciest but does everything I want without costing an arm and a leg.. Looks great matched up with a 37 inch lg 720p tv. Like having my own person theater. All for $120 at walmart
