Toshiba SD-3109 DVD Player
Outstanding Picture Quality
I have been extrodinarily impressed with this player.  I spent a few years shopping for a DVD player while using a PC with a decoder card to pump DVDs out to my TV.  While I used to think that my Creative DVD decoder had outstanding picture, I really didn't know what I was missing.<br />The SD-3109  has amazing color and black levels, and it has worked with every disc in my  extensive collection and every rental I have tried.  Using the optical out,  I have experienced no signal dropouts or the like.<br />I have read some  negative reviews of this unit (which are in the minority) and I have not  experienced any of those reported troubles.  As many have stated, the only  potential negative has to be the remote.  I don't think it is a BAD remote,  it is just a little blocky and wide when held.  <br />I can recommend this  unit without any reservations.
