Samsung DVD-P401 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Was great at first but after 3 years...
We bought this as our first DVD player.  We thought Samsung was a reliable brand plus it had good reviews on a few sites.<br />At first it was great then slowly we started to have problems.  Last year we started noticing pixelation on some scenes but we blew it off as just something on the disc (dust, dog hair, etc...).  Then it started doing it on brand new DVDs &amp; everything went down hill from there.<br />Now it skips scenes, freezes up and continues to pixel on scenes.  Very frustrating!  Sometimes it works perfect, other times you have to restart three or four times just to get the movie going.<br />Of course the warrenty is expired &amp; there isn't anything we can do except take it to &quot;an authorized dealer&quot;.  (Yeah, right!)<br />We got 3 years worth of viewing out of it, but I was hoping for quite a few more.
