hi,

im after one of those `cheap` DVD players for the bedroom. it doesnt have to be great as the TV isnt too good either but does the job.

ive looked at the one in asda but it doesnt have a LCD its@ £29.99

these`s also one in my local sainsbury which is a Loglos or something like that i didnt get a chance to take a look properly but it starts with L anyone else seen it ? thats also at 29.99 but has a display. not sure if its multi region or if it can be hacked.

my local tesco doesnt seem to have any cheap DVD Players they only have a BUSH for 40 or 50 quid.

im in the london area and havent had a chance to check out other stores.
does anyone know of a online place the dvd players are resonable.

thanks in advance.

regards
ifti

Isn`t life sweet sometimes? When I first joined this forum a few years ago a cheap DVD player was a £150 player that could not play anything except certain discs remember the furore over the Gladiator disc that only players above £250.00 could play? now their knocking out far superior equipment at a fraction of the price (My Kenwood cost me almost 300 quid and it won't play burnt CDs! Let alone JPEG etc)
So sometimes technology does mean cheaper, better products £30.00 for a decent player? It can't get any better. Can it?

Yeah, the Chinese sure know how to churn `em out. Not worth repairing them at those sort of prices. Can`t help thinking though it`s bad for the environment all this over production.

It`s all done on tv menus which i wouldnt really mind as all u want is one for a spare room or bedroom u stick a dvd in a press play. If u wana know how longs left and such just use display or whatever on the remote and it should pop up a small timer or somit at top of screen.

For 25 quid u really shouldnt be fussed.
