Logik DV-BD1000 Blu-ray player – Cheap, Ugly and Confused. Not the most stylish of Players available on the market, but at £129 I doubt you’ll find much else. Reading the Review raises a smile; it touts

5 times the picture quality of standard definition, providing you with pictures that are sharp and crystal clear.

But then alas we have the ultimate sin of High Definition confusion from who ever wrote the description,

The connections for the DV-BD1000 Blu Ray Player are a treat and using the scart connection you can link to other devices such as a TV, DVD player or games console to enhance your home entertainment.

• - Upgradeable to BDLive-additional content
• - 5 times picture quality than standard def
• - 7.1 channel surround sound
