Philips DVP 3982/37
$80.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:DVD upconversion is smooth and detailed, looks very close to HD. If powered down during a movie and then powered up it will remember where you left off.
The Cons:Frequent reports of HDMI playback quitting after less than a year of use. Takes a long time to turn on and get itself ready to play anything. Laser isn't well tuned, tends to skip occasionally.
