First DVD Player

I`ve narrowed my choice down to 2.

LG 3350 - Best price £220 (inc Walk with Dinos DVD)
Panasonic RV40 - Best price £248 (inc Matrix, 3 Kings, Gladiator)

Ignoring the free DVDs for just now, is it worth paying the extra £28 for the Panasonic player? Is it any better than the LG, or would I just be paying for the name? Having looked at the Techtronics site, the specs seem the same, so I need the advice of anyone who`s used either.

Thanks
Darren

If you dont have a existing Dolby Digital decoder. Go for the AIWA, this does not have a 5.1 decoder like the LG but if you dont have a existing one its not much use.
I have seen The Matrix, X-Men and Contact on it so far and it looks flawless. No grain, no pixellation. Just superb picture and sound.
