Don't need anything fancy. Don't have a home theater system. Not for "critical" watching, just chillinaxin wit da missus.

Our last one went kaput a few weeks ago. I think we paid $50 for it at Best Buy about three years ago and were happy with it.

Thanks!

    honestly just look at the local CL, I am sure there are one or two there that fit the bill. Heck if you have a Xbox 360 use that, its what I do (since my blu-ray player stopped playing DVD's)

    I thought I'd just ask folks here if they had any thoughts before shooting in the dark...

    At 50 bucks there are too many options to list. Honestly if it were me I would just go to Walmart and get a unit in that range that up converts and your good to go.
