Reading/devouring the great (but very competitive) comments on moderately priced DVD players, I`m in a heck of a quandry.

Should I buy the cheapest of this bunch?
Or should I spend £135 at Richer and buy the Tosh e220?
Another option for the miser in me, is to buy the samsung £225 at £129 (not £119) as I reported last night (still not received any threads on this model --- is it such a bummer??)

Tosh all the way if you can stretch to it : picking up awards left right and centre.

Thanks Clayts, you seem to know very much of what you talk about.
But not to let go of the bone just yet, do you anything about the Samsung S225?


Thanks also to Dantheman for your contribution to my quandry.

Both you guys have given me the benefit of your experience, but the bottom line question is the Tosh worth the extra dosh??

The tosh does not output NTSC as PAL 50. I would had bought one, but my 5 year old toshiba dolby sorround telly would not take it. I have a dansai 1010 because of that.

Thanks MBA for your response.
I will be putting my DVD output via a Panny TX-32PG50.
Would this cause a similar problem?

Thanks, john-306.

I`m pretty sure it was a 225 in my local Safeway, but I`ll slip tomorrow (sorry, I mean later today) and double check.

Meanwhile I`ll have a squint at samsun`s website!
