Nexxtech EDP3110 Progressive Scan DVD Player with MP3 and Kodak Picture Playback
The price has doubled since I bought mine, but it works great.
I purchased one of these on Amazon in September for only $39.98. Now the Amazon price lists @ $97.98, dynamic pricing? Anyway, neither of the reviews posted were very complimentary and I wanted to voice a success story. <br /> <br />After years of searching I finally found a copy of Wim Wenders \\"Until the End of the World\\" movie on DVD. When I finally found one, it was an extended cut taking the 3hour theatrical version to 5+ hours. Down side, it's a German release and only available in PAL. Since I spent over $50 to get the DVD I figured I could toss $40 bucks on a chance to be able to play the movie on something other than my PC.  <br /> <br />The remote is small and simple. The player is thin, not overly rugged. The disk tray could be broken off easily by a toddler or ambitious dog, but it has full component outputs, and when hooked up to the component inputs to my 16:9 TV with the Unlock code provided in the product description (Open tray, press on the remote, stop-2-3-7-9, press arrow down until 0, then press OK.), it played back the PAL movie beautifully. It fully supported the surround sound, and it has offered no difficulty with my regular NTSC collection either. Color reproduction has been fine with both PAL and NTSC discs. With the unlock code entered once; it has automatically sensed and played back any disk I've put in it with no additional adjustments needed.  <br /> <br />I may have gotten lucky, or perhaps there is an issue using a composite (single video cable) output, since I have component inputs I've had no reason to play around with those options. I don't know what kind of lifespan to expect from this device, but it's has been trouble free for two months thus far. For what I paid, if it died tomorrow, I'd still feel I got my monies worth.  <br />
