I find going for a $100 special is the best.
They play everything and have surround sound. My family by Brand name and close to $400 and they don't have surraound or the ability to play everything. Mine is lasting as long as theirs too.

I always buy the cheapest I can find that will do want I want. That way when it dies in two years I did not get it fixed just buy another. No use paying heaps for a so called good brand or model.

mate it depends on how fussy you are about picture quality and all that?? if you are a semi-audio/videophile then you wont want one of the cheaper ones...
the pioneer one looks perfect - esp with DVD-A, SACD, DivX plus Progressive Scan !!!!!!! and $229 is f'n peanuts !!!! [EDIT] even the DV-383 model under it is a bargain !!! I cant believe it is only $170 and has progressive scan as well !! |

I believe the more expensive ones wont let you play the stuff that you want to, because they dont encourage that sort of behaviour (burning/copy)
I was told the Quality of you DVD should match the quality of your TV so that pioneer looks good. |

I have the 676A model - looks like the 686A is this year's evolution. The 676A was highly recommended by numerous reviewers. Try here for user reviews http://phorums.com.au/

Pioneer ones are good, and im pretty sure ive seen one in Black?
Failing that, LG make good ones. Not neccesarily having the features of a more expensive brand but they are still very good for what you pay.

As a budget player, it's difficult to beat, I own the 676A and it eats my few year old $1000 Toshy. Rick.

Are LG electronics any good? I've been told to stay away from them because thier product quality is the same as back when they were Goldstar?
