Comment: Usual quick and efficient delivery by Amazon with this very capable little DVD player. It does everything that could be expected from a small budget priced player. The reason I did not give it 5 stars are twofold: firstly it is supplied with a ridiculously small remote control so ergo tiny print for the buttons, this is especially annoying if this item is for use in a bedroom, which is quite probable because of it's compact size, and so is not always brightly lit. Secondly the power cable is very short, in my case barely reaching from the top of a chest of drawers to a power point virtually adjacent at floor level. Neither of these two faults detract from the quality of the picture but it does suggest that Samsung could well do with a more practical design team for the finishing touches!!!

Summary: Great for the bedroom
Comment: The first thing is, whatever you do, don't pay £43 plus for it. Sainsbury's have it at 25 quid at their on line store.
Secondly, if this is your primary DVD player, you may be a little disappointed; the quality's acceptable but not brilliant and the up scaling through the HDMI output is no better that the Sony system I have in my sitting room produces through the SCART output.
Having said that; this is a very sexy little unit that will look better than practically anything else that does the same job. Yes the remote is no bigger than a stubby carrot and the buttons are tiny (so keep your readers handy). The picture quality (and I have it paired with a Samsung HD ready 32") is (as I've said) acceptable. It's also great to have the USB input; a memory stick with a Divx file is all you need to get started, much better than watching on your own in front of a PC. I have to say that I was impressed with how clear these compressed files were reproduced.
So in summary, great for the bedroom; for the sitting room, get something better.

Summary: Fab DVD player - make it multi-region too...
Comment: Just bought this DVD player and I love it, excellent upscaling and picture quality and looks very sleek next to my Samsung TV. Admittedly the remote is a bit small but the TV remote works with it so it's not really a big issue. I have found a region hack that definitely works (just used it myself) try this:
Make sure there is no disc in the player.
Turn on the player (you can use remote control or front panel, it doesn't matter)
Wait for "No Disc" message to appear on the TV screen.
Press the Repeat button on remote (plain, not A-B).
Press the correct sequence of buttons of remote according to the original region code of your player (it's on the sticker on the back panel of the player).
FF = fast forward, FR = fast rewind.
Region 2 players: FF, FR, FF, UP, DOWN
Region 3 players: FF, PLAY, FR, UP, LEFT
Region 4 players: FR, PLAY, DOWN, DOWN, RIGHT
Region 5 players: FF, UP, DOWN, STOP, RIGHT
Region 6 players: LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT, PLAY, LEFT
If you pressed the correct sequence, a small white number 0 will appear somewhere on the top right of the screen. The white number 0 of the same font and size as the "No Disc" message, so don't confuse with the red "not allowed" sign that would appear when you press a function that's not available.
Turn the player off and on again, then you can pop in a DVD of any region and watch immediately.
Have fun!

Summary: samsung h1080 pc users beware
Comment: Everything on amazon side perfect quick delivery,as for the dvd player
its very good with dvd disks, however not so good with flash drives
it dose not allow you to set size of the picture from the flash drive
so can end up with small picture with big bands top and bottom,as i use flash drive the most its not nearly as good as it should be,so
if you use flash drive with your movies from the pc i would not recomend it,as if i had knew i couldnt set it to fill screen from the flash drive (USB) i would not have bought it,so for DVD,s perfect very quite but for USB very poor aspect ratio can not be set to fill
screen.samsung should fix this problem with an software update but they dont seem interested as iv contacted them and had no reply.
