Samsung DVD-P401 DVD Player
January 2001In progressive mode, test patterns revealed all the sharpness and detail required to make the most of movies. When playing movies I was impressed with the three-dimensionality and film-like performance while hooked up to an RCA 38-inch HDTV. The P401 does not cut corners when playing movies.
The inclusion of 3:2 pulldown eliminates artifacts you often get when film-based material gets converted to NTSC video. We've recently seen many pricier DVD players without this feature.
Standard CD-R copies of audio CDs played back without problem, but a CD-RW would not play back.
For people looking to add progressive scan DVD to the HDTV they already own or who want to plan ahead for the one they may get later, this player represents a super value, both for its video performance and its CD-R abilities. At a street price of $199, it's surely worth a look.
