Samsung DVD-V3500 Progressive-Scan DVD/VCR Combo
It depends...Good for non-HD TV set-ups...Poor HD results
The DVD player has some very good functions and I enjoyed the digital photo functions a lot.  I currently have this unit hooked up to a non-HD 27\\" set.  In that respect, it works like a dream.  DVD player works great.  VCR is better than my old GE 4-head VCR.  However, I tried hooking it up to my 53\\" HD TV and audio receiver and this is where I ran into problems.  The progressive scan component video gives off a very clear picture, but when the 5.1 digital audio is hooked up the results were very poor.  You see...the unit has very poor shielding, and you get interference whenever the RCA or digital coaxial cables are hooked up (this manifests as slight white horizontal lines visible on the screen).  This was cleared up when I by-passed those cables in favor of the optical cable for digital audio.  HOWEVER, if you want to use the VCR on the unit you MUST have the RCA cables connected.  There's no other way around it.  In order to take advantage of the progressive scan qualities of this unit, you have to forgo the VCR entirely (which defeats the purpose of buying a DVD/VCR combo unit). If you have a smaller TV then this white-line interference isn't so noticeable (you only see it when the component video is being used), but blown up to 53\\" it's very annoying.  In a nutshell, this unit is great for smaller non-HD TVs, but the poor shielding prevents me from recommending it for any screens bigger than 32\\". If you have a big TV/receiver set-up and want to use this unit, try hooking the video up via RCA cable instead of the component video and you won't get that interference so much (but this defeats the purpose of buying a progressive scan DVD player).
