Help need a reccomendation for a simple dvd player
r1_pete - 29/12/12 at 05:50 PM

After getting several DVDs at Christmas, I really need something in the living room to play them on, I have Sky hd in the living room, and sky+ in the conservatory, plus a liteon DVD HDD player recorder.

What I'd like is a simple thin DVD player which will sit incospicuous under the Sky HD box.

I won't need to record, probably need blue ray, but what else should I look for? so any reccomendations please?

Cheers.

Just got one of these sony BDP-S390 £79.00 including delivery. This is a blu-ray player but will also play standard DVD. Not the cheapest but does have WI-FI built in so you can stream from the internet if you have a wireless router. It is quite small, although the top is not flat.

The ability to play divx and xvid is useful.

Most cheap Blyeray players got similar ratings to the very expensive ones.

As above try get one that plays Mkv,divx etc and with a USB input.

Ps3 was my choice but quite noisy if watching quiet movie.

I might have one in the loft you can have if you want? Not 100% sure i've not given it away yet though.
