Philips DVP5982 HDMI 1080p DivX Ultra DVD Player

86% of the reviews on Amazon.com give this product a positive rating.

Inexpensive, HDMI upscaling to 1080p, USB port for accessing digital files, DivX compatible, slim and stylish design

Poor remote control, clunky menu system, lacks optical audio output

Worked great playing almost every format when burned to disk. Upconversion did appear to improve the quality. Excellent value. Newegg had fast shipping as usual

Stuttered a bit on fast action scenes when played from USB sticks and fast forward was horrible from sticks with max 3x speed. Never tried it with an HDD but had finally gotten a small drive FAT formatted to use but never got to try it. Following...

Good picture quality and sound quality ; the USB port amazed me ; overall great product to buy

so far NONE

Plays most DivX codes ; Able to read files from USB compatible devices ; Quick Response time ; Very attractive design ; Simple but functional remote

Would have preferred to two USB slots ; Upconverting button is annoying

Cheap up convert DVD player, works great and have tried with divx and mpeg4 files they all play fine

The USB connection does not power up my portable notebook USB drive

great dvd player it does what it suppose to do. has hdmi and usb which is the main reason i bought

nothing for me

Dvd's look awesome, just about every file type i've thrown at it works through the usb. Love watching tv shows and movies from my hard drive through my television instead of my computer monitor

Doesn't accept every file type and I wish there was some way for it to display seperate subtitle files with movies from my hard drive

Excellent upconverting player for the price. The USB Port!! great addition, the main reason I selected this unit over others

No svideo out

Almost perfect. Reads nearly any file I throw at it. USB reads thumb drives and HDD - wow! Upgradable firmware. Great picture quality, HDMI upscale is nice. Couldn't ask for much more except - see below

CAN'T READ THE FILENAMES!!! Even with upgraded firmware can't read the names of files past 14 chars. I've got over 1000 divx files with names like Battlestar Galactica S01E04. All I see is 50 Battlestar Gal! Terrible - I'll never buy another machine...

USB connectivity, Plays all the videos I throw at it, looks nice, and HDMI

Can't see picture when changing video settings, menu kinda lame
