Great Value by Vlkingr on bhphotovideo.com Jul 7, 2011
Does everything that it was supposed to do and at a very low price. HDMI was a tricky set-up. The HDMI is set to off when received, so you must turn it "ON" through the Set-up Menu. Which means you must run a separate video cable,(RCA cable), to the TV ...

I was shopping around for a upconverting dvd player and looked at specs on alot of models as well as other sites. this model has the apperance of a higher dollar unit and works great. i didnt want to spend very much money on one but also wanted to make ...
 
Good Value... by Randy3801, KS on hsn.com Dec 22, 2011

Excellent CD Player by banjovi on bhphotovideo.com Jan 11, 2011
I use this unit as a CD player in my home stereo. It works great, the remote is convenient, and it was a great bargain. Nothing fancy, just a solid, reliable performer.

Terrible product by reyvene on amazon.com Jul 7, 2011
This is not the first cheap DVD player I have bought. The previous one I had my only complaint was that it was not able to use a universal remote and the remote was easy to lose. Now this thing I got to replace it when it finally bit the dust after over ...
 
BROKE RIGHT AWAY AFTER MINIMUM USE by Ballard on bhphotovideo.com Jul 1, 2010
Because of On Demand I rarely watch dvds, but I like to have one anyway. I went to use my COBY DVD288 player for perhaps the fifth time in 10 months last week--its broken. Doesn't respond to anything. I live alone, have no messy or rambunctious pets, ...
 
Not a good buy by AusinT on newegg.com Mar 1, 2011
I didn't find any reviews until after I'd ordered the machine. After using it for a while I found the reviews to be right on. It's appears to be poorly made and degrades with time.
 
DON\'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!... by ilenewm, IL on hsn.com Jul 25, 2010
When we connected the DVD player for the first time to our projector, the DVD player came on but it wouldn't read any DVDs (old ones or brand new ones).
 
Steer Clear! by aircanart on cnet.com Feb 22, 2010
Remote just stopped working. No codes available to program a universal remote. You must buy another suspect remote from Coby.

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Coby DVD288 1080p Upconversion DVD with HDMI Black
Such a shame for at such an inexpensive price it seemed to be a steal, however, just proves how right those old adages are: "you get what you pay for" and "if something appears too good to be true, then it probably isn't...But what good are all those features if the unit begins to break down in less than a week...Within the 90 day return period this thing started pixelating bad...
