CyberHome CH-DVD 300B Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Black
All region NTSC PAL
This machine is perfect to me in terms of region free and the ability to play both formats. There is hack code available over the Internet and I personally crack it into a multi-region DVD player. Searching the DVD hack code website, you will realize how hot this model is among other region free DVDs. You will find tons of feedbacks left on the forums to recommend this model and there's no need to talk about it.<br />The point is. If you are looking for a $43 DVD player and expect to perform like a $275 one, this model will definitely disappointed you. However, if you're looking for a powerful region free plus dual format DVD player, you will hardly find one better than this.<br />P.S. I didn't have the problem with black and white. I bought 3 of them, hacked into region free and gave them as holiday gifts. None of them have that problem. Maybe I was lucky. But so far I didn't see any complaints regarding to this issue on the related forum but Amazon. I will keep eye on it and update.
