Hi people.
Its been forever since i had a proper dvd player. At one point i used PS2, which obviously sucked some major balls, i've used some crappy tesco coaster-makers, and as of maybe a year or two i use my pc with a Sharpie LC-42XD1E set as a second monitor. Which works ok, if not the cumbersomeness of the controls. No remote, cant relax on me couch, etc.
So, i have decided to shop around for a dedicated DVD player with certain tech capabilities.
What i want is a player for 50-100 gbp, that has HDMI, DivX/Xvid playback, USB playback, and 1080p upscaling.
At the moment i'm looking at Phillips 5960, but it only has 1080i and this, having a 1080p telly is a waste. As far as i know Phillips 5980 (1080p) is not worth the money due to only difference from 5960 is having "p" upscale, but no custom firmwares, etc...
So, any help about my situation ?
Thanks
