We like:

Picture quality; sound quality; Ambisound does a good job; ease of use

We don't like:

DVD disc tray is over-complicated; materials used in construction mark quite easily; too expensive

You might also need:

DVDs with good soundtrack

CNET UK judgement:

This is one of the best DVD upscalers we've seen in its class -- the sound quality from the 2.1 speakers is actually very good and Ambisound can make you think you have a full on 5.1 system at times. We quite like the styling, although we do think the subwoofer is a little bit too big. If £300 is within your budget, you could do a lot worse than this capable machine
