Apex DVD Players from Dabs..

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Well, ours arrived this morning, and I am *vastly* unimpressed.

The picture quality is diabolical. So bad, in fact that I am wondering if
we
have a duffer of a unit.
Whats the experience here?  I tried two films quickly, Evolution and
LOTR.

On Evolution, the opening sequence is fuzzy as hell, and all of the text
is
badly ghosted. on Composite, it's fuzzy, with a single ghost. On
S-video,
it's fuzzier still, with a multitude of ghosting. Any vertical edge is
ghosted a couple of times.

With LOTR, the video is a little better on composite, but still VHS
quality
rather than DVD. the S-video quality is again  a little better, but
still
way below the quality I get from a Holywood+ PC-DVD Card.

After our great experience with going from a PC solution (showhifter)
to
TiVo, it's kinda dissapointing.

What about the other people who got these? hows the quality on S-video? do
I
have a duff unit, or is this simply a crapola bargain basement player?
