Daewoo DVN-8100N Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Amazing All Regions Player For Less Than $40
This progressive scan DVD player is the steal of the century. The picture quality is excellent and if you're a fan of films from Asia or Europe, you can turn it into an all-regions player in two seconds using the remote control. (Other places on the net are selling the same region-free machine for $70. Save your money. You don't have to pay $30 for someone else to push six buttons on the remote.) <br /> <br />It's a progressive scan player but I've discovered the picture on my Sony HD set is better when the Sony up-converts the signal and the Daewoo is set to output an interlaced signal. <br /> <br />I've had it for about a week now and I'm totally impressed. Check out a review on the 8100N on hometheaterhifi.com -- the testers there ranked it very well. It has a picture that's as good as players costing five times the $40. <br /> <br />If you're looking for a good all-regions player for peanuts you can't go wrong with the Daewoo 8100N. <br /> <br />I have a few beefs: the setup menu isn't as detailed as others and the remote isn't very exciting but for $39.99 I can't complain -- I'm too dazzled by the amazing picture! <br />
