I'm going to buy a region-free player in the next few weeks. Is there anyplace that reviews different models and might be informative about features and quality? Thanks

I have the NeuNeo player and like it but much less expensive region free players can be found. Build quality is suspect but mine is holding up fine. I probably don't have any improperly flagged Pal discs, in fact I only have a few but I am sure if does poorly with them.

Is there a unit out there that DOESN'T have lip sync problems?

It looks like the Helios HVD-2085 is the only player that makes sense for those with component only TVs.

For anyone with one of these and a 16:9 set - how does it handle 4:3 material? My (now dead) Toshiba player would blacken out the side pillars, while the TV goes grey natively.

I'm a little (a lot actually) leery of these Chinese players. The Malata 520 I bought died after only a few dozen discs, which of course was just after the warranty expired. Even at a couple hundred bucks, I don't want to play 10 discs and have a new player crap out.

Re: Can you recommend a Region Free DVD Player?

Just finished reading this thread and I'm still confused. I would like to get a entry-level region free DVD player that does good PAL to NTSC conversion. My limitation would be my old television, which would only be able to accept a standard video or S-Video connection. Any suggestions (other than junking my old TV)?

I bought a Philips DVP642 about a month or so ago for $60 at Target and it works great for me. Does PAL -> NTSC out of the box, and you can make it region free with your remote. Ive been satisfied with the conversion on my cheapo standard 21 inch tv

How about the Malata DVP393a that recommended on the DVDBeaver site?

I use a JVC XVSA-70 that besides being muti-regional also does perfect PAL-to-NTSC conversion. Personally I recommend against "cheap" players. It has beem my long experience with electronic equipment that you "get what you pay for"!

Re: Can you recommend a Region Free DVD Player?

I have a Phillips myself and until yesterday it waas working great. Yesterday it started not reading any disks at all. It says disk loading for several minutes, then it says No disk. I tried running a laser cleaner disk, bur it did not help. The same disks it read with no problem just last week. Any ideas as to why it is doing this? This is for region 1 and 2 disks that it read just fine last week.
