Best multi-region DVD for £150-£200

Hi,

I am currently upgrading my home cinema kit and I am looking to buy a new DVD player for 150-200. I am looking for the best quality DVD player I can get, what do people recommend ?

I am not interested in super audio CD, just want very good DVD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

My Cambridge Audio 540D does superb PAL<>NTSC and is region-free right out of the box. I'm not that familiar with prices in the UK but I believe it fits your budget.

why so cheap? i wouldnt mind a new dvd player but im in the same boat as big ric which is that i might get the pana s97.

ohhh its so hard to decide which also adds another question does it matter on the HDMI -> DVI cables? its just sending digital info isnt it? bleh

Just got myself a Panny s97 for £240 (multi region), Superb Machine.

Very well built, loads and loads of options and settings. Fantastic picture quality.

Cant wait to get a new LCD in the new year to try out the upscaling via HDMI, that should be something else !!!!.

Cheers for all you replies.

I am still researching and deciding which one to buy, there is so many on the market.

Going to take me 2-3 weeks to decide I think.

Cheers.
