DVD Player Advice?
I’d like to buy a cheap DVD player, and bet someone reading can tell me: Who’s the Apex of 2007? That is, who’s making cheap, consumer-friendly DVD players? I’d like one that’s:
- region-free
- fully controllable (none of that “we’re sorry, you have to watch the ads” crap)
- good at error-correcting for scratched up DVDs.
I’d like to know, too.
Me three!
Me four! Especially the “fully controllable” aspect.
My name brand DVD player was getting all snarky on burned disc so I grabbed the one I’d been using as a cd player in another room.
Turns out it’s an APEX and it plays everything. It even says rOOT when it plays a burned disc without a menu. How great is that?
I’ll make it five of a kind.
Ya know, with a little forethought, this all could have been hashed out at the security bloggers secret meeting, and a bulk discount obtained. But noooooo…..
A friend of mine had one of those Apex region-free DVD players, back about ten years ago. I remember the first thing I noticed about it was the audio was always out of sync with the video by a few frames. He didn’t thank me for pointing this out. I was unimpressed, to say the least.
