Award Quote: " 'Sharp' mode offers incredibly detailed pictures: naturally vibrant colours, smooth, stable motion, nice styling." - What Hi Fi? Sound And Vision November 2008, Five Stars
Also 4% Quidco.
Next cheapest seems to be John Lewis at £70.
Seems to get good reviews. Appears from user reviews to be most popular with people who have a HDTV, but have a big DVD collection and don't want to switch to Blu-Ray just yet.
Only major problem seems to issue with playing older DVDs of TV shows recorded in 4:3 format. HD buffs seem delighted with the upscale quality in the user reviews.
