I have to say this may be the best-designed device I have ever bought! So far, anyway -- I see some reviews that have encountered failures of some kind. So far mine has behaved perfectly. (Unlike a certain DVR, and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones that lasted six months before physically shattering!) It has a couple of features that may be common but I don't have wide experience. They impress me, anyway! First, the buttons on the remote audibly *click*, so you know when they've activated. All my other remotes just have rubber buttons with no indication of when you've pressed them enough to activate. It makes this remote really easy to use.The other feature of great convenience is "Resume", which may be common these days, but is new to me. When you have to stop a DVD in the middle and turn off the unit, it will automatically restart exactly where you left off the next time you switch on.It comes with an actual printed manual, too... a practice that seems to be getting rarer these days -- headphones, take note! It's compact -- just folded paper -- but complete. Easy to find what you need to know. Even the remote may have had a little more thought put into its design. Very pleased so far.I haven't tried the region-free feature, yet. Never got any foreign DVDs because my previous player was not region-free. Other reviews seem to have had n o trouble with it, though. I've no doubt it will be invaluable at some point.

great region free dvd player! i watch a lot of movies that are full screen and to be able to toggle between resolutions is great! the HDMI upscaling is really great. and one big thing for me is when i watch PAL dvds on my old player, the audio is slightly faster and higher pitched, this DVD player perfectly adjusts to NTSC. great find! fast shipping too

Update:I added back a star since using a higher quality HDMI cable did the trick and so far so good, no more image blackouts or squeaking! And the supplied cable worked just fine to connect one of my monitors to my work laptop. Conclusion: if you have a newer Samsung Smart TV, this dvd player will work BUT 1) do yourself a favor and get an Amazon Essentials HDMI cable and use the included cable to connect peripherals to a computer, not to your tv: 2) the dvd player isn’t recognized immediately by the tv and you must use the supplied remote, not the tv remote, with the dvd player. But not too long after you connect the hdmi cable, if you put a dvd in the player it will automatically start up. I am now very happy with this little player! Would be a 5 star review had the player shipped with a higher quality hdmi cable!Original Review (3 stars):Pros: I bought this player to play my mostly foreign dvds, replacing a $16 player from grad school that worked great until the tray stopped opening. So far it is playing my beloved Australian tv series (Region 4) that was recently discontinued on Netflix. Image is crisp using the HDMI-HDMI connection. After this I will try my region 2 discs. Although audio is annoyingly loud initially, the remote works well and the sound is actually better than when I watch tv through the computer connected to my Samsung smart tv, so that is great.Cons: Starting on evening 3 of watching my Region 4 series, every so often the image on the screen will briefly turn totally black and occasionally I hear a squeak from the dvd player. TV is a Smart Samsung LCD new as of a few months ago when my kitten knocked over and broke my last TV). I inspected the disc that first experienced the issue and cleaned it with a cloth, although there was no dust or smudges on it. All seems fine with the tray, but my next step is to try a dvd lens cleaning disc. So far the same thing has happened with four different discs. I also plugged the provided HDMI cable into a different HDMI port on my tv, but the issue persists. I might try using a different HDMI cable to see if that works and I haven’t tried the supplied RCA cables with the RCA-HDMI converter I used on my old dvd player, but I can’t imagine that would give the same quality as a HDMI-HDMI connection. The blackouts are fairly infrequent, although very annoying and by evening 4 they happened at least a dozen times. My only other complaint is that the player does make noise when playing, but nothing I can’t live with. I only hope this player lasts 15+ years like my last one half the price did. And I hope that trying a different HDMI cable and/or playing a cleaning disc will solve or at least minimized the black screen/squeaking issue.

Packaged great and easy set up. Works fast and the remote has a decent range and easy to read and operate buttons. I haven't tried watching any DVDs for use outside of USA, so I'm unsure as to how to rate that aspect, but as far as functioning as it should as a DVD player, t's a great product.

Wonderful cool looking Dvd player all regions! For a great price. The only thing that thr manufacturers need to do is change the look/pictures on the box it comes in. It looks like something you buy off the back of a truck in some break away old sovit union country 😂

I have a number of old DVDs and my old machine would not play most of them, so we decided to try this "off-brand." I was pleasantly surprised. The unit was smaller than I thought, but it has a metal case. So far, all my DVDs play on this, and the controls are simple. I used the HDMI cables and they worked fine. Worth the money.

I was surprised that an inexpensive player would be such high quality. The player functions flawlessly and silently; even the tray open/close motor operates with the tiniest whir. The remote control is smooth and easy to use as well.We got it because we like British shows & movies, and needed a player for region 2 DVDs.

Not well packed with open sides that could easily be pulled apart to see what was inside the packing and, unfortunately, could be worth STEALING. SEAL SIDES AND ALL OPENINGS. It works ok - my only proviso is that the remote has SO MANY BUTTONS on it and THEY ARE SO VERY SMALL. Very difficult to see and use. Otherwise no problems.
