Coby DVD288 1080p Upconversion DVD with HDMI, Black User Review

Bought this after getting a 720p LCD TV. The old DVD player only had analog output and even though the picture looked BETTER, it still didn’t look all that great.

This COBY has the HDMI output along with it’s analog and composite outputs. So the first movie I put in looked a LOT better on the new TV.

The only problem I’ve had is deciphering the meanings of the options in the setup menus. I’m not savvy enough to know what all the options actually do, and the manual doesn’t explain anything, just has screen shots of the menus. The saving grace there is that the player leaves the picture on the screen while you change things, so you get instant feedback on every change. Also, the remote buttons and menu layouts make it easy to try a bunch of different options quickly.

This was a great surprise, since this was the CHEAPEST player I could find, and it gave me exactly what I wanted: Great picture and easy use.
