Samsung DVD-S221 DVD Player
Very Good for the Price
Sure there are better players but I have seen many much more expensive Sony DVD players that get blown away by this model.  It features amazing quality (even though it is not progressive) and an amazing range of disk compatability.  Mine will read my DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW, VCD, and SVCD disks without any problems.<br />Other than that - a previous reviewer claimed that you need a p-scan model for a digital TV.  He was wrong.  This works fine on my HDTV and as the TV has its own p-scan engine (as most HDTVs do) there is no reason to get a p-scan DVD - at least in terms of the image quality I am getting.
