Videos are on the way out. Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs) are taking their place and DVD players are the new ‘must have’.

However, according to Andrew Muvunyi, a dealer in electric appliances, making the right choice of DVD player comes down to quality not price.

He says duplicated brands with similar brand names to the real thing are common on the market. Below are some of best genuine DVD players out there, helping you get the most out of your home cinema. 

Sony DVD Player - DVP- NS57P/S

The latest Sony DVD has a Precision Cinema Progressive system which detects image changes at the pixel level, resulting in images close to the original source data to provide vivid pictures, even with damaged DVDs.

The player can read all re-writable and recordable DVDs, and CDs, Video CD, MP3 disc all with a playback mode. There is also fast/ slow playback with sound and if interrupted, when you come back DVDs will resume play where you left off.

What’s more it can do this for up to six different DVDs. The single disc changer comes with multi brand TV control remote controller and can be bought for as little as Frw120,000.

LG DVF-9900

It is simpler and more digitalised compared to other players on the market with an ultra slim and slick design. The LG has all the same feature as the Sony above but it is not so adept at playing damaged DVDs.

Other differences are the size, the LG is smaller, and the price, the LG is cheaper at only Frw70,000. Be warned, the LG is also less durable.

Panasonic DVD-S53S

The Panasonic option features a standard definition images from DVD sources to high definition images. Its converted signals draw out the maximum performance of an HDMI-compatible 1080p HDTV, giving you vivid, sharp and exceptionally detailed HD resolution images.

The system provides surround sound through optical terminal. It has a one-touch playback. It’s a 2007 model which will play DVDs from all regions. As such, it plays just about anything. It is incredibly versatile and user-friendly.

Also has 5 options of picture modes with slow and fast audio playback, quick replay and above all, easy to operate with its multifunctional remote control. The model goes for Frw95,000.
