User Submitted Philips DVP5990 HDMI 1080p Upscaling DVD Player Reviews Date: 2009-01-08 Excellent Quality The DVD player was purchased for my teenage son who really enjoys watching movies. The price and quality of the Philips brand is second to none. We purchased a HDMI television a while back so the HDMI DVD player has made his audio and visual needs complete. Date: 2009-01-08 Great DVD Player - especially for the price I'm not a huge audio/videophile so this won't necessarily be the most technical review out there but let me tell you the great things about this DVD player. The feature that sold me on it was the USB port. I can now take any movie off of my computers hard drive, put it on a little thumb drive, and play it on the player. No more burning DVDs (which takes forever) for a movie that I'll watch once or twice and be done with. Not only does it play DivX and the others listed but it also plays .avi files which wasn't listed anywhere. A couple of other things I had to find out: 1. It is not necessary to own a HD TV to use this even though it has the "upscaling" feature. We have a standard 19" TV that's 10 years old and it works perfectly. I didn't notice any big difference on picture, though, which might only be for those new higher end TVs. 2. It did freeze up on me twice the first day I had it and the only way to unfreeze it was to unplug it. I'm not sure why although it must have had something to do with trying to use the USB function. It's been a few weeks since then and I haven't had that problem again. Other than that this DVD player does everything you would expect a normal player to do. The Philips is the only model I found that had the USB port which I was really interested in and I think we paid around $65 for it at Best Buy. I definitely recommend this product. Date: 2009-01-08 Working good from the first time This player is really good and cheap. Use it everyday to watch movies and dvd concerts. My favorite feature is the USB slot which let me watch movies that are on my computer. Pair this player with a USB hard drive and you have a nice media center. Date: 2009-01-07 Well worth the money Great picture. Great sound. Easy to get up and running. I have had great luck with Phillips products. The price is fantastic for the quality. Date: 2009-01-06 Great value DVD player For less than $60, this player does a great job of showing regular DVDs on my HDTV. Philips is just another name for Magnavox (and I don't like Magnavox products based on many years in the TV repair business), but I will give them credit for producing a good product at a good price. I will stop calling them Maggotbox, at least for a little while.
