At first I had a samsung 709 which gave me lots of problems, the final straw was when i had to take it back for another upgrade, so I took it back and had it changed for a Toshiba and I have never had a problem since.
The Toshiba has a great picture and the sound is excellent.

BUY ONE...

...DVD was launched commercial over 10 years ago. The major manufacturers made the mistake of not licensing the technology appropriately and subsequently the cost of DVD players has fallen dramatically within the past 5 years.

Considering that you can get DVDs much earlier and cheaper from the US this is a worthwhile mod.
Totally satified with my Toshiba 2109 which I have had for just over a year....

On this basis alone, I bought one.
