Sony managed to make a device that is both affordable and high quality. With a very elegant look and many interesting characteristics, it is definitely a good choice. The ability of the SONY DVP NS955V to play a variety of different audio and video formats, makes it a complete entertainment addition for every household.

It has very good error correction capabilities, something that ensures that most of your damaged CDs and DVDs will be played with little to no problem, and Sony’s Precision Cinema Progressive will give a very good picture quality with all your movies.

Most importantly, its ability to play DivX format movies makes it appealing to people that usually backup their movies in this format but prefer to watch them on their TV instead of a PC monitor.
