Customer Reviews

painfully slow and unresponsive
I have several Samsung monitors and a Samsung HDTV, which I love. I figured I'd get the Samsung DVD player for its interoperability (and up-converting, of course).

I've used it for 6 months and will be getting a replacement for Christmas.

Pros: good video
Cons: unbelievably slow: 20 seconds to boot and open, another 20 to close and load. Remote responsiveness is very poor and, get this, the fast-forward options are 2X, 4X and 64X! Fast-fowarding 2 minutes requires either 30 seconds or 2 seconds. The "2" would be fine if the remote responded but, since it doesn't, you more often shoot WAY past your target. In short, fast-forwarding is very painful.

Good product
This DVD player is excellent when paired to a good HD tv. The video Quality is very near that of Blue Ray. The only negative thing I have to say is that the remote response and menu navigation is very slow. Though, this is very tolerable given the quality of the picture. Over all, I would buy this again.

old movies like new again
recently purchased a 1080p hdtv and wanted some of my older dvds to really look nice on the screen w/out having to make the costly transition to bluray; certainly does the job - pictures are crisp, clear and there are few to no movement artifacts. good processing leads to good 1080p conversion.
