Pros Full Feature, Quality HDMI video
Cons Remote Control
Recommended it? Yes

Philips started being part of the HDMI DVD market in 2005 with the introduction of the DVP5900 player which was a failure in all. For 2006, Philips replaced it with a newer model, the DVP5960, and what a difference. I am very happy to say that they have learned from their experience and that they... Read full review »

Pros Great HDTV picture
Cons Analog audio output muted for DTS soundtracks
Recommended it? Yes

The rumor that the new Philips DVP5960 has corrected the bugs that plagued the Philips DVP5900 upscaling DVD player appears to be true! Also, the DVP5960 produces a much better picture than the DVP5900. The DVP5960 is "DivX Ultra" certified. I've tried upscaling DVD players from Sony, Samsung, and... Read full review »

Best Philips player for the price

Pros Great video quality, HDMI output, USB port, WMA support, Divx Ultra support, CD upsampling
Cons USB port is 1.1, no S-video output, warranty is only 90 days
Recommended it? Yes

If you already own the Philips DVP642 you will notice a dramatic upgrade in picture quality with this one. The DVP642 had a 10-bit 54 MHz video processor. This one has a 12-bit 108 MHz processor. I didn't notice a difference in video quality when compared to the Sony model I own. This player played... Read full review »

Pros HDMI Image, remote
Cons Too many bugs and defects as stated in the review.
Recommended it? No

I must say that in the past I have been using a lot of Philips products from Electronics to Sonicare to most of my Kitchen Small Appliances and have been very happy with them ... until the past few years. The latest unit I have purchased is the DVP5900 DivX with HDMI connection and it is a... Read full review »

The Good and the Bad: Fair Warning

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Plays DivX-, most XviD-encoded AVIs.<br> HDMI with video upscaling.
Cons HDMI and coaxial digital audio out DO NOT work together.
Recommended it? No

The DVP 5900 is definitely an upgrade to the older DVP 642, by virtue of the HDMI interface and through it the ability to upscale DVDs to 720p and 1080i. But as HDMI and upscaling is this model's big selling point, it is also its biggest stumbling block. According to Philips Customer Support, it is... Read full review »
