LG DP542H Full HD 1080p DVD Player, Black

Nothing not to like. Slim, good design and good quality picture. If you still have DVD's but don't want to pay a fortune, just buy it. It's LG which is a great brand name & at this price, I'd highly recommend.

I decided to buy this DVD player as it had good reviews and was a reasonable price. Very pleased with it. A big plus was that all I had to do was plug it in to the back of the tv. Very easy to operate and picture quality is excellent. Again, handset simple to use. Had it four weeks and been working perfectly. On that basis would recommend it. Only thing is I had to buy HDMI cables to connect it to the tv. Worth buying decent ones.

I wouldn't have minded paying a bit more for a DVD player had I known in advance what the 'quality' of this unit. Don't get me wrong, it's fine. There's nothing wrong with it but as another reviewer remarked, it makes for a good player for the bedroom.Being the happy owner of an LG 4K TV I thought the build of this unit would be up to a similar spec. But it just has an extremely cheap, lightweight feel about it. It plays DVDs and it seems to do an alright job of that but it's basic - Very basic.If you're on a small budget, go for it. It shouldn't disappoint but don't expect to be wowed by it.

We recently acquired a Smart LG TV. We could not get our old DVD player to work with it (I am sure there is a way to get it to work, but we couldn't work it out). We decided to buy a new DVD player and as our TV is LG, chose an LG DVD player as well. This was extremely easy to install, we simply plugged it into an HDMI connection on the TV. It was also very easy to use, with a simple to use remote control. The picture quality is very good and my husband is enjoying watching old DVDs on the large screen. Overall this is a good DVD player at a very reasonable price. I am happy to recommend it.

Works well.No issues with setup. Great value

I bought this DVD player to replace a 20-year old Sony DVD player that was getting unreliable. I just wanted a player for DVDs and audio CDs, with the ability to connect directly to my stereo amplifier. The LG DP542H is perfect for the job and fulfils my requirements (has red/white audio output phonos), also with the flexibility of additional video outputs should I need them. In practice, the HDMI output provides a good quality up-scaled picture to my 32in Samsung TV, far better than the pictures I watched with my 20-year old DVD player (through its Scart connector) using the same DVDs.When playing audio CDs the remote control allows selecting individual music tracks by pressing the numerical button corresponding to the track number. There are other very useful buttons on the remote: "subtitles" enables subtitle language (or non) to be selected while playing a DVD (much better than having to stop and use a menu). Also the remote controls volume, source and power for my TV. The remote is laid out in a very friendly way.This DVD player is far better for purpose than using a Blu-ray player that I tried for a short while which occasionally crashed after a DVD pause, was very slow to respond to its remote, and was very unfriendly when playing audio CDs. It was returned to the shop!I have not tried the USB connector for playing media files because my TV already has this facility.

Great DVD player for the money. A large supermarket chain is "offering" this for the same normal price as Amazon and if ordered from the supermarket you would need to pay for delivery too! I've already got one of these and bought this one to go with a second smaller TV I have and although the TV is not HD, at some point I may upgrade to a HD TV and if I do then this DVD player will upscale DVDs to HD quality. The one I already have is connected to a full HD TV and I can tell you the quality of picture is great, sound is fine and no problems. In all honesty it's a good problem for the price. Just remember if you don't already have a HD lead you need to buy one, but these are readily available.

Easy to use.
