Philips DVD Players

The Bottom Line: The BDP7200 has a unique design and is Profile 1.1 compliant, but subpar Blu-ray image quality and the lack of onboard audio decoding options limit its appeal.

Specs: Blu-Ray disc player, Tabletop, Remote control, Dolby Digital, Surround Sound, 9.3 lbs

The Bottom Line: The Philips BDP9000 has some great design touches and excellent Blu-ray image quality, but its high price, less-comprehensive audio capabilities and the comparative affordability of the PlayStation 3 suggest that you should probably hold off.

The Bottom Line: The Philips DVP5960/37 HDMI-upscaling DVD player is an excellent choice for budget-conscious HDTV owners and multimedia aficionados, and its DivX playback is a nice bonus.

The Bottom Line: The Philips DVP642 is good choice for DivX aficionados, but everyday DVD watchers can do better for the price.

The Bottom Line: The DVD953AT outputs a good progressive-scan picture, but you can probably find a better bang for your buck.

The Bottom Line: Best suited for DTV owners who lack an A/V receiver, Philips's DVD972C tries to be everything to everyone. It delivers as a good five-disc player that turns out to be only a decent progressive-scan deck.
