Sony DVP-NS50P/S Single DVD Player, Silver
very nice
This is the third DVD player I've bought in a year, the others were junk and had issues right out of the box, but so far this one has been great.  The setup was straightforward, and I never have trouble with discs skipping or anything.  I am not a very advanced user of these things, so I can't really evaluate it for all the functions it may have.  For reliability of playback though, I can tell you that it has been exceptionally good in my experience.
