Pros: -most reliable disc made -no coasters -worth every penny

Cons: none

Overall Review: Verbatim by far makes the most reliable media I have ever used, especially DVD's. I've used most of the other brand names and have ended up with many coasters. With the Verbatim DVD's I have always wrote at max speed and have never once ended up with any errors on the disc, let alone ending up with a useless coaster. I have found alot cheaper discs out there but none are worth the heartache of lost recordings. I've tried more expensive media also, but none as reliable as the Verbatim. In my book it isn't even worth trying another brand anymore.

Pros: Upscales normal widescreen dvd's to hd very nicely. easy setup small and light plays multiple formats cheap!!!

Cons: Haven't found a setting to show standard 4:3 videos on a 16:9 tv with black bars on the sides so everyone doesn't look short and fat. Keeping previous dvd player connected for the 4:3 dvd's i own.

Overall Review: For the price a very good upscaling dvd player and happy with the purchase. Already tested with my dvd+r movies and upscaling looks fantastic eaven on my 40%+ compression ratio discs.
