I don't own a Devant. However, if price is your only concern for choosing a Devant, well, try looking at the PDVD marketplace first. As you can see from the previous post, they come close or lower than certain Devant models. But how about features? PQ and SQ are not the only things you should look at.
Features such as how many HDMI inputs (very important), RCA audio out (important to me), component and/or composite in, optical/digital out, headphone/earphone out, VGA input, HD Ready or Full 1080p HD, built-in digital tuner, etc. These features serve as convenience and usability for the end-user.
