Samsung DVD-S221 DVD Player
Great for the average joe
We like a crisp picture, own a Tivo and a VCR but otherwise aren't big into electronics.  We picked this one up based on a positive consumer reports review and love it.  Great picture, the wide screen DVD's seemed to play great to us.  We also appreciate that it will play cd r/rw's and the like.  That feature was not available on many of the other models we looked at.
