Cyberhome Ch-DVD 320?

Target is running a special on this machine next week ($34.99)...

Just curious to see if it will properly do PAL to NTSC conversion...I read some reviews on Amazon, and some reviewers said it would, but...I searched in this forum and couldn't find any info on this particular model...

Just wanted to see if this was a good deal or not...normally it is $43.99...Thanks, guys!

This player seems to be favored by people looking for a low cost solution for a region free player. Not exactly sure what you mean by properly as the only way that you will be proper PAL is by playing on a system that handles PAL natively with a PAL display.
I am using a Home Theater PC with an X1 projector and can watch 100% PAL or NTSC as the projector supports both resolutions natively.
More info on your player at link below. Seems that the 300 and 320 are the same player, but the 320 is a Target exclusive brand.

The 300 does not handle anamorphic PAL correctly for viewing on a non-squeeze capable 4:3 set. Other than that it does play PAL on NTSC sets just fine.

You might try a search on "Cyberhome" in this forum for more details.
