    Philips makes grainy quality MPEG. Nix that one. Terrible unit.

    Zenith. Not sure, but it is likely budget. Sadly it may still be in the running. I would shy away from it myself.

    Toshiba in USA/Canada (NTSC R1) has a black level problem (though not all machine seem to have it). It is otherwise good quality. Outside the USA it's excellent.

    The lesser of evils would probably be the Toshiba.
