Samsung DVD-P230 Progressive Scan DVD Player
works good then dies
This DVD worked great when it was new.  The line resolution and progressive scan worked great.  The color was clear and audio was sharp.  CD wkd ok too.  I paid extra for progressive scan at the time for the sharper picture.  Now 13 months, one month after the warranty expired the DVD mechanism stops reading DVDs.  According to Samsung, there are two lasers one for the CD and one for the DVD.  I probably used this player 20 times in 13 months and the DVD laser died.  Samsung suggested I clean it.  I did.  No luck.  Now I'm having to go buy a new DVD player.  Stay away from Samsung.  I usually get at least several years of product use with electronics.  I used to sell electronics.  Spend the $ on a better product, or be happy with one year of good use.
