Panasonic DVD-S27K Progressive Scan DVD Player , Black
As good as it gets for its class
We went with Panasonic because we've had the best reliability with the brand.  And we're happy with the player.  It seems most of the other players we've seen are all about exactly the same...they even have the same remote control as if one blanket company is making them for many companies.  This Panasonic is definitely original.  The Audio/Video Enhancer button is great.  This is the best DVD player we've seen in its class (under $100 single disc).  Why not 5 stars?  Well, if this unit lasts a long time then I'll come back and give it 5 stars. UPDATE: It is now years later and I would change this to a 5 star review if I could because this player has been fantastic...no problems, good at playing scratched discs, etc.
