I need a cheap player for my bedroom & I`m lucky enough to have both players for sale at Tesco`s in Loughborough. Which one should I go for & why ?

Hi, I bought a 1010 yesterday and I am not sure about it yet on Monday. Reason : I have a widescreen telly and some some weird reason the 1010 switches the tv to widescreen mode BUT still displays bars on the top as well as the bottom. Has anyone else noticed this ?

I would go for 852 as it has got good reviews ,can disable macro & it also has a display on the unit.

I think this depends on the ratio of the film. Widescreen tv gives no bars top and bottom so long as the film is in 16:9 (1.85:1), but if the film is 2.35:1 you will still get bars top and bottom unless you use some of the tv`s zoom/picture functions.

Yeah I tried a few other discs the anamophic ones filled the whole screen , the 2.35:1 ones had bars on top and bottom ( correct ) But I have tried Blade - region 2 and its 16:9 ratio but has bars on top and bottom is this correct ??? - I thought it should have filled the screen

DO NOT BUY THE 1010 Reason: Macrovision cannot be disabled :-(
