 Beautiful design but (currently) lacking a region-free hack August 27, 2008
Buz
The reason I asked for this for my birthday was because I loved the looks! I also have a Samsung laptop (Q70) and the lid of the laptop and the top of the dvd player have the same sleek black design. The soft-touch buttons on the top of the unit are a very nice addition (although there is an annoying high pitched beep when one uses those buttons).
My biggest criticism of this DVD player is that there is no region-free hack for current models. I was under the impression from a previous reviewer on here that one existed. However, it doesn't - Samsung have updated the firmware on the player and there are no downloadable versions online (although it is possible that this will change in the future). Having region-freedom is very important to me as I have quite a few region 1 DVDs.
The picture and sound from this unit are good, I would not expect anytihng less, combined with the lovely design I rate this 3*. While it's not Samsung's fault there isn't a region fix out there, I would have liked to know this before I bought it!

I got myself a 42" Samsung plasma and was really disappointed about how bad DVDs looked on it, with all the pixelating when there was a bit of action. I really did wonder if it had been worth getting rid of my old CRT TV, which had a great picture. Then I saw these HDMI upscaling players and thought it was worth a chance, after all it was under 50. So I plugged it into the big screen, hooked it up to my surround sound system and put in a DVD. The improvement in picture quality was certainly worth the price and now I don't even have to think about going HD/Blu-ray, which is just as well with the number of DVDs I have. It does what it's supposed to and doesn't take up a lot of space either. If I could have got it to be multi-region it would have been a 5 star.
Yep it's good real good July 1, 2008

I have a Samsung tv one of those 720p ones so thought to myself, no good buying a blue ray cos it's at it's best on 1080p tv. Mmm, maybe an upscaler would do the trick to get me some high def thingy. Well people this is the kiddy what a difference it made upscaling me ordinary dvd's.
Saved meself a whole bunch of money and got a class machine that makes me tv look awesome. I am no techno buff as you can tell and don't want to spend tumps trying to keep up with all this fast moving technology, so this will see me for a while until everything packs in and I move onto whatever comes next. A superb buy at less than fifty quid. Oh and it looks good too ! All modern an all !
Great Upscaler - Region hack does not work June 11, 2008

I am very pleased with the quality of the picture on my HD TV, its hard to imagine forking out for Blu-ray after seeing this.
Slight niggles regarding this player -
It makes a bizarre high pitched 'toot' sound when you switch it on and off, I cannot understand the thinking behind this, it's just annoying.
Multi region hack code shown in another review does not work on the machine I received. I have looked at countless hack code sites and I do not seem to be the only person with this problem.
For 50 it is a real bargain. Go for the 51 pence HDMI cable also available on Amazon, works well.
