Perfect DVD player.

Hi all...

I am looking to get a DVD player that has it all, DixX, HMDI output & HD up scaling, a USB port, so that you can watch movies straight from a hard drive. All the bells and whistles… But I am not looking at getting a DVD Recorder or one with a built in hard drive...

The only one I found so far is the LG DNX-190H

Do any of you know of any other models that have all these features?

The link can be found here…

And have any of you have any experince / reviews of this model???

Thank your for your time...

    And you get to avoid Pixmania into the bargain (heard quite a lot of not so good things about people having problems with them due to them being based in France).

    I own an older Xoro DivX player (HSD400) and it's been excellent. Had it for over 2 years with no problems whatsoever and the spec on this newer model sounds excellent. They were one of the first to bring out DivX compatible players so they've been making them a while. When I got mine, they were mail order only on the internet ... at the time, you couldn't find a DivX compatible player in the high street anywhere.

    Doesn't mention USB on the above link, but it does here:

    I'd maybe e-mail the manufacturer to check ...

    Quick question on the USB connections on these type of dvd players...

    Does it mean i can just plug my laptop into them and play divx files saved on my hard drive through the dvd player to my 32wlt66 tv?

    And for anyone thats tried it with tv programs gotten from a well known torrent site, whats the quality on the larger tv screen like, compared to a normal laptop sized screen? (i find the quality on the laptop prefectly acceptable)

    All depends on the quality of the divx really, some are very good like a new VHS quality tape others can be quite bad, also a lot depends on how well the Tv handles low res inputs... My Samsung 40" LCD handles divx very nicely, the quality is about the same as SD Tv
