    Hi all,

    Any recommendations for a DVD player to go with my panasonic TH-42 PV71F TV.
    I went into Peats to buy the panasonic upscaling dvd player (DVD-S53) but was told it wasn't region free and needs chipping to unlock it :(

    Anyways, I'm looking for a good quality region free DVD player that plays all types of formats and produces a good picture.

    any help welcomed.

    I've got a Philips 5960, €100 from the Philips store, probably cheaper if you shop around. You'll need to buy the HDMI cable separately. It's made region free by typing a code into it's remote.

    I got this. Fantastic picture. Comes region free out of the box and inc. HDMI cable. I'm very happy with it. Pricey though!

    Shayser,

    I've heard lots of good things about oppo but wasn't aware that they had a presence anywhere outside the U.S?
    Did you get it shipped from the states? If so I presume it is 110v? And maybe even regioin 1 only? As they have no real desire for multi region players as much as we do in europe.

    Cheers

    They are based in Sweden. Painless buying experience. Quick delivery. Outputs 1080p and is region free. HDMI only though (cable included), no component. Delivery is €15. (I might be selling mine soon.)
