Magnovox mbp 6700

The Internet tells me that Philips own or part own or whatever the Magnavox brand so yeah, it being a rebadged philips isn't a huge shock. It's great that cheapy players like this are starting to filter down into the marketplace though, 4K must be going great guns to prompt them to get a supermarket special out there.

Hopefully it's a good indication. But I'd imagine it has a lot to do with retailers wanting to upsell customers players, even when they're stuck on BDs or DVDs.

They can throw in a "HDMI 2.0" cable whilst they're at it!

Actually, Magnavox as a brand is now owned by Funai since mid-to-late 1990s.
