Not region free
This blu ray / DVD player is written about as region free. Do not be fooled. This is absolutely not true. Perhaps a professional hacker can find their way, but That is not me. I am thoroughly frustrated that with my huge collection of DVD’s and Blu Ray’s from all different regions (I am a world citizen), it has become harder these days to find a player that plays everything. This does not make sense at all in this day and age where we can stream anything from anywhere. What gives?
Pro
- Good for region 2 and region B
Contra
- Will not play other regions
satisfied
The remote is too small and the buttons are very soft, overall the device makes a cheap impression. An HDMI cable is not included.
The Blu-ray player is well suited for Blu-ray and DVD movies and plays them flawlessly. The picture quality is good, especially the color reproduction is worthy of recognition. These appear very strong and natural, so nature shots in particular come across very well. The depth of black is also positive, it doesn't have a gray shimmer here like some other players. The Full HD option also generates a very sharp picture. The sound is reproduced well, but depends on the speakers used. DVDs that are played back via the player look good overall in Full HD.
In general, all of the player's functions are satisfactory, were it not for a few negative points. The player tends to hang up as soon as you use smart apps, such as Netflix or Spotify. The player is extremely slow, which is very annoying. It is unfortunately very loud in operation.
If you connect the player to the Internet via LAN cable, you can access many apps, through which you get a respectable access to all sorts of things.Pro
- Picture and sound quality
Contra
- Slow
- Player hangs up sometimes during apps
- loud
simple, inexpensive, meets most requirements
simple device that also reads USB in exfat format was my reason for buying. Simple installation according to specifications was done quickly (everything goes automatically). good price/performance ratio
Pro
- low weight,
- almost noiseless
- low power consumption
- easy installation according to specification
- with USB connection for almost all formats
Small, simple, easy to handle
It does what it is supposed to do, play DVDs and BluRays. I agree with the previous speakers about all the apps. Totally unnecessary. If you need extras, you'll buy something bigger anyway. What I like is the size of the device. It can be conveniently stowed in the box together with the speakers and beamer. I would buy again.
Pro
- Price/performance i.O.
Contra
- Unnecessary apps
- Could not find any defects so far
Unreservedly recommendable
Small, inconspicuous device. Works perfectly. The many apps that you could download and use are superfluous. A Blueray player is definitely not the multimedia control centre. At this price? Just go for it. Maybe back to the roots would have been a good approach.
Pro
- small
- quiet
Contra
- unnecessary shenanigans
Good buy
Titop! You get what you are promised and at a very good price. The unit is well made, runs smoothly and quietly.
Pro
- Price/Performance
- plays everything flawlessly
- relatively quiet
- Compact and space-saving
Contra
- Use of the large Netflix button on the remote control is questionable (but does not bother)
- sometimes reacts to the command "Switch off" with a right delay, this can sometimes be irritating
