DVD Player recommendations: Discuss DVD player recommendations here

Ok, Kimmo suggested posting a "sticky" thread to be the home for DVD player recommendations, since this topic comes up from time to time.

So, I discussed it with the staff and haven't received any objections (yet) so we'll give it a try.

If you have info on a DVD player you want to recommend to people, please post that info in this thread. Be sure to include the following:
  • DVD Player Manufacturer
  • DVD Player model
  • Is it a progressive scan player or interlaced only
  • Is it a multi-CD/DVD changer
  • Link to manufacturer product page (if possible)

If you are looking for a DVD player recommendation, please post your request for recommendation in this thread. Be sure to include the following:
  • If you have a DVD player already, please post the make/model of that player
  • Please post your budget/desired price range for the new player
  • Whether you need a progressive scan player or not
  • Any features (like Zoom, non-anamorphic scaling, MP3 support, WMA support, etc.
  • Whether you need a region-free or multi-region player

The more info we have regarding your "requirements" for a new player, the better recommendations we can make.

You can read the Secrets DVD player shootout report here.

The Secrets report will provide information on various DVD players and how they perform with poorly authored DVDs, among other things. This should be used only as a guide.

Additionally, please read the chroma upsampling error (bug) thread to familiarize yourself somewhat about that as this issue WILL come up when comparing various DVD players.

To help get this started, here are links to previous threads with discussion on this, and related topics:
