S-Video output. 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. Pros: Good picture, Divx playback, USB port...

7 Months Later and its Toast...

Although it produces a nice picture on my 37" LCD it broke after only 7 months of use. I bought it refurbished from overstick and it now plays for about 15 mins and then just turns off. Actually, it doesn't turn off completely. The disc continues to...

Nice design and does the job.

We have got this player about a year ago. It still works fine. Its only weakness is that it is a very slow thinking device, for example, turning on and off takes quite a long time. Other than that, no complains.

This DVD player is not for everyone

I've had my Philips DVP5900 for 2 weeks. The picture on my HDTV is definitely better using the HDMI and upscaling features. My HDTV is a no-name bargain plasma. This type of HDTV seems to benefit the most from an upscaling DVD player. When I hooked the...

Impressive. Great video - minor bugs.

I didn't think there was much difference in video quality between the various DVD players but the DVP5900 is a SUBSTANTIAL improvement over my old magnavox. Video Upscaling is a tremendous benefit. Using the HDMI connection helps quite a bit - both on...
