Samsung DVD611 DVD Player
Low price, little problems, GREAT value
This is the first DVD I have ever bought, but my friends who had them all had their brands to suggest.  I liked the Philips that my friend had, but it always seemed to act up.  I decided on this one after comparing prices and reviews.  I am not sorry I made that decision.  VERY rarely, I will ahve slight skipping or freezing problems, but it is always very minor and does not detract from the movie at all.  There are loads of features, the sights and sounds can't be beat, and this has been a dream player to own.
