Samsung DVD-P241 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Samsung’s DVD-P241 features high-end progressive-scan component-video outputs, built-in MP3 decoding for your home-brewed CD compilations, and even compatibility with JPEG image CDs and Kodak Picture CDs. Now you can enjoy a slideshow of your digital pictures right on your television. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you’re merely thinking of “someday,” the DVD-P241 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The DVD-P241 also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Another handy feature is the player’s EZ View letterbox eliminator, which lets you enjoy full-screen pictures on 4:3 aspect-ratio TVs–even when you’re watching widescreen DVDs.

Having recently replaced my BetaMax cassette player with this hunk of junk, I learned that it is not “Not bad”, as W.B.

Never had a problem with it.
I’ve owned this DVD player for over a year now and it has never gave me a problem. The component hook-up really makes the quality of the picture much better.

Looking for a replacement
Pretty easy to set up and use, but it stalls half the time. I generally prefer to watch movies WITHOUT it locking up every 5-10 minutes.

Broke after 1 time use
I got this dvd player for my mother as a Christmas gift. She played one movie on it, and after that, it never worked again. Completely dead.
