A very cheap -- $19 at Radio Shack after a $20 rebate -- DVD player we had in the bedroom the last few years understandably began jittering and such, so I went to Circuit City in search of a replacement this weekend.

Couldn't find a $19 one, but did find a $39 DVD player by Phillips -- all packaging in French and Spanish -- that upconverts to progressive scan.

Anyhow, the DVD player works great; plays DVD-Rs without a hiccup and for $39, what's not to like?
And you should be able to make it region-free with several pushes of remote buttons, if'n you're interested. image
