Denon DVD-1940CI Universal Scaling DVD/DVDA/SACD Player w/ DCDi by Faroudja
This is one of the first 1080p upconversion dvd players. Nowadays for the price you can get a better one for 1/3 of the price.

We love the combination of the DVD-CD player. With the purchase of a larger stereo component, we needed a combination CD and DVD player to save on space. We’ve been very pleased with the performance of the Denon unit, but the operation could be more straight forward. It was easy to hook up.

This product was bought as a gift. However, I have had the benefit of watching and utilizing it. This is a terrific dvd player and CD player is superb. It looks nice too. No problems at this point.

I compared the picture quality of this unit to the LG DN798 that I recently purchased. Both players were hooked up to a new 55″ Sony TV (model KDS-55A2020) using the same Monster brand HDMI cable. During my testing I swapped the same DVD disk between players, and I made sure that both players were set to 1080p resolution.
Over a period of two hours I made numerous adjustments to try and make the Denon look as good as the LG, but I just couldn’t do it. The LG simply produces a much sharper and more life-like picture. What’s more, the LG can be purchased for less than $100.00.
In my opinion, the number one criteria for selecting a DVD player is picture quality. When you consider that the Denon costs more than twice as much as the LG, I can’t justify giving this unit more than a one star rating. Needless to say, the Denon is being returned.

I bought this unit at a huge discount to replace a broken carousel unit. It works very well for CD play, and it seems to work fine with movies. The original retail prices was $340, and there are better DVD’s out there at that price range. All and all it works well and was worth the $146 I paid for it.
