Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung's single-disc DVD-P230 DVD/CD player is perfect for favorite movies and music, featuring high-end component-video outputs, built-in MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) decoding, and compatibility with JPEG image CDs and Kodak Picture CDs so you can enjoy a slideshow of digital pictures right on a television.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD-P230 stands ready to deliver the full potential of 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. In addition, top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

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. Another handy feature is EZ-View letterbox eliminator, which makes it easy to enjoy full-screen pictures on 4:3 aspect-ratio TVs--even when you're watching widescreen DVDs. Supplied accessories include a composite-video/stereo analog-audio interconnect, instruction manual, and a remote control.

I love mine!.......2002-04-16

First off, why in the heck would you want to run at those lower resolutions with a 19? I bought mine so i can take advantage of the higher res.

Here is some common sense logic for you, if you want to run those lower res, why dont you buy a Packard Bell 15 inch and save $$???

NEC Multisync FP950 Professional Series 19" Monitor.......2001-10-15

I have performed an exhaustive search for the ultimate 19" computer monitor. Being a perfectionist, I wanted the best monitor available at a reasonable price that included style, high quality color picture, sharp focus and brightness, complete and easy-to-use picture adjustments, totally flat screen and minimal cabinetry surrounding the cathode ray picture tube to give the appearance of a larger screen without the annoying distraction of an oversized cabinet. Since, it seemed that all of the monitors examined had at least some flaws noted in the reviews, I was pleasantly surprised that they were minor and basically unfounded in this particular NEC monitor. I am totally satisfied with it's performance and it's exceptional style. I already had the NEC Multisync FE700 17" monitor which I equally treasure. There is no other like NEC!

Great Monitor.......2001-10-14

This is a great monitor. The lines are sharp and text is very clear. The screen controls are outstanding - supporting a number of adjustments to ensure the display is positioned and sized correctly at various resolutions. Glare is much less than it was with my older Dell 17" Trinitron monitor (it being a flat screen with anti-glare coating as well). The cabinet is stylish and compact - fitting in about the same space as the Dell 17" Trinitron monitor it replaced.

Large monitors are designed to give you greater desktop real estate yet display images and text at about the same size as you would typically see on a smaller monitor running at lower resolutions (640x480, 800x600). Just as smaller monitors (15 and 17") are not optimized for higher resolutions (1152x864 and up), larger monitors are not optimized to run at lower resolutions. This isn't isolated to NEC monitors. I've used large monitors from many vendors and they all struggle to display lower resolutions as clearly as they do at resolutions they were design for. However, I wouldn't say it's so bad that you cannot bear to run at the lower resolutions.

If you intend to run at the lower resolutions with a 19 or 21 inch monitor, I would suggest you go test drive a few large monitors at your local retailer just to make sure the clarity is what you expected.

NEC always makes it!.......2001-02-13

Firstly, I must state that I think the same with Smiff Desine. The idea of seeing blur letters is completely a rubbish, that monitor is designed especially for CAD\CAM users. Everybody should be knowing this! So you won't work in lower resolutions like 800x600 in any case, by the way let me remind that's a 19" monitor! That NEC FP950 really rocks when you set it to 1024x768 or over. Sharp colours, fast horizontal and vertical refresh, a tube using GRILLPITCH technology, being able to absorb %90 of light etc. and also being a NEC makes this beast THE BEST selection! - especially for people studying engineering like me in my opinion - . Trust me, it's not a waste of money and the technical support is well enough at least to take care of you. Why thinking still?

NEC FP950 19" CRT Monitor.......2001-01-12

Before we go anyfurther, ignore the last review concerning blurred letters -just take any picture on your computer and enlarge it to 200% and you'll get the idea. Anyway, as an engineering design professional I've found this monitor a delight, it will display higher resolutions at a higher refresh rate than any other 19" monitor, the first thing you'll notice how vibrantly it displays colours and if you set your display to an appropriate resolution ie. not <1280x960 (you don't run a monitor of this size @800x600) you'll be rewarded with incredibly sharp and detailed images. The FP950 also has a suprisingly small footprint considering it's got the flatest display I've ever seen. As far as customer service in the US goes I can't comment, as I bought this monitor in the UK but the 3 year OS warranty certainly provides peace of mind. So if your after a 19" monitor and you're applications demand such performance, it's money well spent.
