Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

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.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, and warranty information.

4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD, INEXPENSIVE DVD PLAYER, December 30, 2004
By Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
i was looking for a good, but cheap DVD player that i could use in my young son's room. There are a lot of no-name DVD players out there for a bit cheaper price but I guess I am still leery of buying anything with a name I don't recognize.

This Samsung player seems to be just the ticket. It's got a few more bells and whistles than you'd think in a player for around $50 bucks indlucing the EZ view letter box eliminator for small screen TVs, distortion reduction, and can play MP3's and Kodak picture CDs.

But I mainly got it because it's easy to use and cheap so if my young one does anything to it it's easily replaceable. Not a machine for your high-end TV but certainly capable of doing the job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, November 21, 2004
By RR2004 (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
I bought this dvd as a second dvd for a different room. I already had a Panasonic DVD-S27, which cost about $20.00 more.
The Samsung works equally well and read commercial movies, DVD-R, JPEG, and comercial music CDs files very well. I didn't test it for any other formats but I assume that it would work for the other formats.
I am completely happy with it and feel that there is no need to pay the extra $20.00 for Panasonic or Sony.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad - and pretty cheap, September 20, 2004
By Walter B Reed (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
Finally go tired of my 5 disk Kenwood DVD player (not progressive scan) and found this at Target. I hooked it up to my home theater, and the sound and video were incredible, the zoom feature allowing you to change from letter box to full screen had little distortion and the dolby digital worked perfectly.
Overall, an inexpensive namebrand dvd player which has performed consistently (as had my other samsung products). I would recommend this product.
