Reviews of the Philips DVP5960/37

CNET Review
The Good: Relatively inexpensive; HDMI upconversion to 720p, 576p, and 1080i; DivX compatibility with decent playback performance; mostly solid video quality; front USB port for digital photos and music; ultraslim styling.
The Bad: Annoying shift bug causes some black bars on movies; 576p mode is close to unwatchable; no S-Video output.
The Bottom Line: The Philips DVP5960/37 HDMI-upscaling DVD player is an excellent choice for budget-conscious HDTV owners and multimedia aficionados, and its DivX playback is a nice bonus.
