Please help us find the right DVD player

Don`t understand the technical jargon which is often used. We want to spend £125-£200 on a DVD which is multi-region, allows digital photos to be displayed and is going to give the best picture & sound on our Panasonic 100Hz Dolby surround, ProLogic, 3D bass TV.
Would probably prefer one of the better known brands, unless you want to convice us we would really be wasting our money! Have been looking at the Pioneer DV454 or 550. Any info on these or other suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks

Try & hold on if you can as Phillips are to bring out a new player in the summer which will do what you want & be DVD Audio & SACD compatible & will only cost £200.00. If you cant wait, then go to your local newsagent & get this months WHAT HIFI magazine, have a read, find what you want then search for it on the web. Normally anything for £500.00 or lower can be found for £250 or lower. Its good to search :0)

Good luck

Husband doesn`t want to wait. Think we`ve narrowed our search to 3 models. JVCXV-N5SL, Thomson DTH-460U or Pioneer DV-550. If you stumble across a good mail order price for any of these, multi-region, it would be really useful.
Am finding it impossible to find anyone who stocks the Thomson so would be especially interested in that one. Might even start a new thread asking if anyone knows where I could buy one !
Thanks for the offer of help.
