CyberHome DVD Player
Just save your receipt!
This player was good while it lasted.  It stopped working exactly 364 days after it was purchased (it became unable to \\"read\\" the disk).  I called the customer service number, more to just complain then to actually expect some help, but I got a message that the number had been switched to some directory service costing several dollars per minute! (I hung up of course).  I wish I could say that I vowed never to purchase another Cyberhome player, but I just can't resist that price.  Unlike other cheap players, this one had component outputs that yielded a beautiful picture quality.  It is also very compact and aesthetically pleasing.  Once or twice I had to unplug it from the wall when all of the controls became unresponsive (I think this resulted when it was left on for too long).  I've noticed that the new model I just bought now automatically goes into standby mode if left inactive for 30 minutes (perhaps this will help extend its service life).  Based on my own personal experience, I am able to recommend this player because it is the \\"real deal\\" as far as its features are concerned (progressive scan, component/s-video output, multiple format options, etc.).  For me at least, its low price offset the disappointment of its short life.  I am willing to roll the dice and hope for more luck this time.
