Yeah, if you research, you’ll find conflicting reviews, but this Refurb I purchased via Tiger Direct from Amazon.com is absolutely amazing; in fact, the “upconverting” of regular wide screen DVDs brings new life to the films; the colors (on my plasma display) are superior to many *theater* experiences I’ve endured.
In this economic environment, I can recommend a refurbished product from Samsung via Tiger Direct; you can download the manual and software from Samsung’s website. The product was shipped with a manual on CD, but I already downloaded it.
One final note: I read elsewhere that a purchaser returned his Blu-ray player because “bands” were still visible on wide screen movies. Yes, this player doesn’t have a zoom function. However, the television should have (as my plasma does) functions to adjust “H Size”, “H Position”, and “V Position”, where H and V mean Horizontal and Vertical. With the resolution of Blu-ray, blowing up the image doesn’t really “degrade” the picture quality. So, check your television manual.
I note no heat or other issues.
2010 Update: Please make sure to go to Samsung site (or Google “BD P1500 firmware”) for Firmware upgrade, software you download to a blank flash drive. On 1080p Panasonic plasma, picture quality is fantastic with new films. Panasonic VIERA S1 Series TC-P54S1 54-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV, Black Better than most theater experiences I’ve had. Also, connect with HDMI cables. Also, it is sensitive to fingerprints on discs; make sure your Blu-ray discs are clean, handle by the edges, etc.
