Region Free + Overscan Eliminator DVD players.

I'm looking for really good region free DVD players that have the "Zoom Out/Overscan Eliminator" functions. I never noticed this before, but I just READ the dvdbeaver article about the cropping of some pictures.

I know that Malata 520 is a model that has those features, but I can't find it anywhere to buy. I tried ebay and hkflix but they weren't available.
Can anyone recommend some other brands/models that have the same aformentioned features?

The Jaton PSD-7611K at HKFLIX can do it.

I have a lot of Foreign Criterion DVD's which obviously have subtitles. I've read on here that the Jaton PSD-7611K has DELAY problems with the subtitles when X + Y scaling is present.

I plan on using the zoom out feature to elminate overscan ALL THE TIME on my foreign dvd's so is the delay problem with the subtitles that annoying?

I've posted this same question before because I want to eventually replace my old Malata N996. So far no luck because I also want it to be upconverting through HDMI.

Plus a feature that I haven't found on any other player I've come across: The ability to play the correct aspect ratio of material on DVD shown on a 16X9 monitor. The N996 knows whether the signal is 16X9 or 4X3 and displays it accordingly. It eliminates having to press the display button on the TV remote to correct the aspect ratio.
