Page 1 of £100 dvd player - any suggestions?

HELLO

Anyone know a decent dvd player, preferably region free or handset-hackable for around the £100 mark? Also, any good places where I can buy it from?

Thanks for your help.

I`m well impressed with the Ferguson DV400FE I got from Safeway. They had it going for £99.99 on special offer. Picture seems very clean and free from blockyness, and with the hacks (listed on this site) is multiregion (switchable to exact region required or 0 for most dics) and plays VCDs.
Won`t play CD-R`s or CD-RW`s though.
Currys have the player for £150 on their website at the moment, even at that price it seems a good buy.

I would recommend the Dansai 852, £99.45 from Tesco.

It is multiregional with a hack (obtained from the region hack forum), macrovision free and plays VCDs and MP3`s (not sure about CD-R/RW`s).

The picture and sound is brilliant, just as good (if not better than) as much more expensive players. It is slim and silver, and looks very nice (unlike players like the Cyberhome 528, which is very bulky).

Therefore, I would have no problem in recommending this fantastic player.
I have already tried 3 other machines over the last few months.

Cheers, Paul.

Nice one, thanks! Think I`ll check these two out for the father in law...so they better be good!

I am pleased too - but tried the hack and the disc played in black and white?? Did you have to do anything else, eg adjust the settings in the menu? or did your hack work first time?
Any info would help
thanks in advance
