Last week we looked at two interesting, mould breaking designs for DVD Players but another one that may be of interest is the Sony Persona DVP-PR30 Compact DVD Player.
This cute little player has actually been around for a while but it gets little interest because of its shortcomings. With the lack of any upscaling or HDMI connections, it can't really be considered a serious DVD player for the home cinema. However, its top loading design makes it an ideal choice for the kitchen or bedroom, and especially for a childrens bedrooms. A top loader is much less likely to break in the hands of a child than a fragile slide out draw based player so we think this make it a perfect choice. Especially as there is a selection of colours, including a rather garish pink if you so desire!
We've seen the player available for less than £40, but even at around £50 is still makes a good buy.

LG DVS450H and Samsung DVD H1080 - two of the best looking DVD Players ever!
DVD Players, and in fact most home audio visual equipment, are normally rectangular square edged boxes. Often very attractive boxes we have to say, but they have stuck to a tried and tested design nonetheless. This week we've seen two DVD players that are anything but boxy - the LG DVS450H and Samsung DVD H1080.
The Samsung DVD 1080 is an attractive pebble shaped design with smooth edges and a nice high gloss, rose tinted black finish that will complement many television, no matter what make. At around £60 it's good value too for something so stylish.
Whilst not quite as rounded as the Samsung, the LG DVS450H at around £100 is definitely cleverer with its 3 position "floating" design. Position is on its back, mounted on a wall, or pull out its stand and lean it on display like a digital photo frame - it's quite ingenious.
Of course style alone is nothing without performance and both these players are capable of upscaling standard definition DVDs to a near high definition quality 1080p with great results.
Which ever one you choose, you'll never quite be happy with a rectangular box again!
