Does any DVD player have more features than the APEX AD-800?

Date of Review:  May 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: Every feature you could ever want in an affordable player. Excellent choice for the home video/audio/computer enthusiast.
Review: WHAT IS THE APEX AD-800?

A DVD/MP3/VCD/SVCD/CD/CD-R/CD-RW/HDCD player. (OK, I need some help with HDCD, anyone know what that is?) I would be surprised if there exists another DVD player near this price range that matches the AD-800's...

True progressive under $200.00

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: You will not be disappointed with this model. Plays all the formats. Gives the best picture I've seen yet and cost under $200.00.
Review: This is my second Apex player and also my second progressive scan player. This player replaced a Toshiba 5109. That's right. What is known as the king of the hill in affordable P.S. DVD players is being replaced with an Apex.
I should mention...

Apex AD-800 DVD Player With Super VCD, MP3 Playback And Progressive Scan

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: The AD-800 has a lot of feature content for the low price. If these are important to you, the AD-800 can be a good choice. However...

Apex is getting better

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2001
The Bottom Line: For $249, you will not be dissapointed. BestBuy has the best deal on these right now.
Review: It seems that Apex has finally come around and added all the newest features to their DVD player. I bought the 703 series a month and a half ago and was reasonably happy with it. However, once I heard the 800 was out, I returned the 703 to get the...

Poor man's Porsche of DVDs?

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2002
The Bottom Line: Cheap Controls, Sounds distorts. What do you Expect for $159?
Review: What attracted me to buying this DVD player was the fact that I bought some cheap sorround speakers and I needed a DVD with a built in AC3 (Dolby Digital 5.1) and a DTS Decoder. Do not confuse models that state that they are DTS/Dolby Digital ready...

My 1st Progressive Scan DVD Player! !!UPDATE!!

Date of Review:  Dec 3, 2001
The Bottom Line: I recommend this unit to anyone who is looking to save money in order to purchase an HDTV. Or just save in general.
Review: About 2 months ago I purchased a High Definition Television. I loved my TV, but I did't have a high definition receiver nor did I have a progressive scan DVD player. I made it my goal to upgrade my current Apex AD660 with a progressive scan unit. I...

Quality control??

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: It's a great DVD player for the price..If you get one that doesn't break or blow up.
Review: I was real excited about replacing my 2 year old Apex with a spiffy new progressive scan Apex ad-800. I ordered it from Amazon for 99 bucks. I installed it and connected everything and....no color.
I pulled out the instructions and found an...

True Progressive Scan for under $225

Date of Review:  Apr 18, 2001
The Bottom Line: A true progressive scan dvd for under $225 (got it for $199 at Sams Club) with all the bells and whistles. I highly recommend it.
Review: I recently purchased a HDTV with progressive scan. I then researched many progressive scan dvd players to complement my tv, and dollar for dollar this seems to be the best.

It is a true progressive scan dvd with 3:2 pulldown. It has...

Picture quality is excellent.

Sound needs to be raised on TV during playback (so what!!).

Save your money and buy something else

Date of Review:  May 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is a disposable player. Don't buy it unless you have money to burn. This player lasts 8 months max.
Review: I bought this DVD player since it was a great price for a progressive scan DVD player. I was planning to get a digital TV later on but wanted to wait for the prices to drop. So I just played my DVDs happily on a projection TV and was satisfied with...
