CyberHome CH-DVD 500 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Best bang for the buck...
Bought this at Best Buy (who doesn't carry it anymore due to the possible number of returns/complaints they received, which I thought was premature, and now RadioShack offers the 300 model, a more compact version of this one).  For someone on a budget who wants the latest features, this is a great player.  I've only experienced the black screen maybe once in the 6+ months I've owned this player.<br />Two issues I found, however:<br />1. You can't switch on text commentary while watching movies that offer it.  It tends to switch to the subtitles after a track switch.  While this is a minor inconvenience, it tends to get annoying after a while.<br />2. If they only made it in black.  Then I'd get another one for my main setup and transfer this one to my bedroom!<br />Bottom line: If you're tech savvy enough and can deal with a low-tier name, get this player!  Your wallet will thank you!
