My mother-in-law bought an Apex DVD player for our upstairs while she was staying with us and then left it here when she moved in with my wife's sister. It isn't fancy, but it plays DVDs without any hitches (unlike our other DVD player wich is a piece of garbage and messes up the menus all the time). Right now I don't have it hooked to a receiver so I can't really judge the sound quality, but it looks good and plays movies like you'd expect. I'm not sure there's much else to say. The bottom line is that it does the trick and I have no real complaints.
