Great DVD Player for Home Entertainment

This player is a great addition to my home electronics setup. As my tests showed, the upconversion feature really enhances the picture quality on my older DVDs. The player also has a sleek design and is easy to use. However, the lack of a tuner may be a drawback for those looking for a full entertainment system.

Pros
  • Can upconvert DVDs to near-HD quality for better viewing experience
Cons
  • Does not have a built-in TV tuner for recording live television

This is my second bad experience with Samsung. My brother has a 47 inch LCD TV. The TV worked well with the PS3 (Blu-ray and video games were…

Pros
  • TV & Video
Cons
  • Very Expensive
