The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other AV receivers and amplifiers, soundbars, home theater speakers, subwoofers, surround sound systems and Blu-ray players we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['At $35.99, the Desobry MD115B covers most of the connectivity bases a DVD player should offer at this price: HDMI for modern TVs, RCA composite for older displays, and a USB port for playing files from external drives. The 1080p Full HD upscaling rounds out a solid feature set for under $40.', 'The 4.3-star average from 2,233 reviewers is particularly encouraging. That volume of feedback at that score is one of the stronger signals in this price bracket, suggesting the player is reliably built and consistently performs as buyers expect.', 'The only meaningful gaps are the absence of Blu-ray support and any network connectivity. For a household with a standard DVD collection and no Blu-ray needs, the MD115B is a capable, low-risk purchase. For anything beyond that, you will need a different player.']

Frequently asked questions
Does the Desobry MD115B have a USB port?
Yes, the MD115B includes a USB port that allows playback of video and audio files from a flash drive or external USB device. This is useful if you want to play downloaded content without burning it to a disc first.
Can this player handle Blu-ray discs?
No, the MD115B is a DVD player only. It will not read Blu-ray discs. The 1080p rating refers to upscaling of standard DVD content, not native Blu-ray resolution.
Does it work with older TVs that have composite inputs?
Yes, the MD115B includes RCA composite outputs in addition to HDMI, so it can connect to both modern and older televisions. On an older TV with composite inputs, picture quality will be limited to standard definition regardless of the player's upscaling capability.
