Philips DVP 5990/12 DVD Player (USB, DivX Certified, HDMI 1080p, 1080i upscaling) black I have the DVD player bought mainly because my old Silvercrest Player of Lidl has made me mad, when it came to load Xvid files. Depending on the USB flash drive, it took up to 2 minutes. Shortly before I had bought a new TV (LG32LG3000) and then of course, should also be a new DVD player ago. The main reason for the purchase was, as mentioned above, the slow USB connection from my old DVD player. Here the player can really score points, even from my slowest 4GB No Name Stick it loads the movie files (700 MB) within max. 5 seconds. An external hard drive I have not, unfortunately, and it can therefore not be tested. Otherwise, I can only say positive things about the device. The picture is top (connected via HDMI 1080i), he plays next to DivX / Xvid to WMV files from the design like it very much, the operation is simple and the new remote design also like it very much. The only minor complaint: The remote control responds somewhat sluggishly to the inputs, you would have to aim very accurately to the player.
