Overview
Movie collectors with a shelf of Blu-rays and DVDs get a compact Philips player that sends Full HD video to the TV over one HDMI cable. DVDs are upscaled for a sharper picture, and Dolby TrueHD passes surround sound to a receiver.
Upscaling helps older DVDs look better on an HD TV, and cinema frame rate output plays films smoothly. There are no streaming apps or Ultra HD disc support.
Who it's for
Families and collectors who still watch physical discs. Viewers who stream everything or own an Ultra HD TV may want a different player.
Pros and cons
- Plays Blu-ray and DVD
- Dolby TrueHD surround
- Compact and light
- Plays AVI and MP4 files
- No streaming apps
- No Ultra HD support
- Single HDMI output only
Performance notes
Blu-ray discs play at native Full HD, while DVDs are upscaled by the player, which sharpens edges but cannot add real detail. Cinema frame rate output avoids judder on compatible TVs. Surround sound depends on a receiver that decodes the lossless track.
