Review on 📺 Enhance Your Viewing Experience with the Philips DVP3980 Hi-Def 1080p Up-Conversion DVD Player by Chris Owens

I've used this upconverted DVD player on 720p and 1080p TVs and I can tell you it's an impressive machine is. You'll be pleased with the delay with which the player acknowledges user input (via the remote control) to fast forward or rewind at different speeds. The picture is just fantastic. It's true that newer DVD releases tend to give better results. I was trying to play a DVD I probably bought 5-6 years ago and it didn't look good, but it will look very good for something newer. You can choose between different resolution levels, but after playing around with it, I found that the "Auto" setting usually knows what to do. I never had to undo the player's automatic decisions. Please note that I have only used this player with HDMI (as well as component audio). I also found that the 1080p image was less sharp than 720p on a 1080p capable display. The image on the display is 720p but I guess that's to be expected. More importantly, I've encountered occasional playback stuttering on the 1080p setting. But it was very rare, maybe once every 2-3 seconds in a 3 hour movie. I don't know the reason for this problem. In general, this is a good player for the money.
