Works, but not perfect.

This DVD player works as promised, but requires the additional setup/program to play other region's DVD. Built quality is mediocre.
One thing that I think is the main issue is the extremely SLOW boot up time. It takes a good 10-15 seconds for the player to boot up before it's functional and responds to any commands/actions. Picture quality is acceptable, nothing too spectacular. However, for the price above $100, there's better alternatives in Amazon. Not worth it.
Impressed

We have been impressed with this Samsung Upscaling DVD. Some of the other reviews his it on the head, the remote is a bit wussy; but does everything it needs to do. I still haven't been able to get my master remote to run it to consolidate, but the improvement on picture quality is great and ease of use through HDMI made it a perfect match for my Sony surround sound. Only downsides that I've had from it in the past two years from it is the time it takes to activate and read discs, and sometimes the picture will come through with no sound (but that could be my surround sound too). Regardless, with patients and disconnecting the HDMI cable from time to time, this has been a heck of a buy.
No Disk Error

Reviewer: Krish Iyer,
This one started dying after 1 year. After about an hour of continuous play, the DVD freezes up. Doesn't play anything after that until the unit cools down. Now, it doesn't load any DVD that was partially played on it before, since it tries to load from the previously stopped point and cannot do it. I bought another DVD player (Samsung) at the same time I purchased this one and have many problems with that one as well. Is there any reliable DVD player out there???

Didn't last long at all. Got the fatal "No Disc" error and it refused to ever read a DVD again!

This, while it was functioning, worked great for about two years. Then it began to slowly deteriorate - first the tray needed a nudge to close every time, then the CDs started freezing (less of a problem with DVDs for some reason). It feels pretty flimsy so I think the build quality is the problem. Picture and sound are fine but nothing special.
