This reader exactly my expectation, I who am not fade DVDs at all costs. I own some, it lends me more, I do not look more than 6 to 8 by year. By replacing an old "Scart" drive that made the soul, the picture on HDMI seems much thinner and I appreciate finesse debt on DVD documentaries (animals, nature etc ...). The reader is lightweight, functional remote control. Only default, a miserly economy: there is no HDMI cable comes with! With this one, I would have put 5 stars.
