Following in the footsteps of Samsungs legendary 709 comes it's newer, stronger little brother, the Samsung 511. It borrows very heavily from it's older sibling but improves on it in almost every way. Again Samsung have made one of the most attractive looking players on the market. This particular model includes a 3D sound ... Read the complete review

Samsung dvd players are known for their quality and this one is no exception. When I purchased this a month ago, I was a bit sceptical about how it would perform. But I needn?t have been such a sceptic, because it surprised me with how well it performed. The 10-bit video DAC delivers an excellent picture with high saturation and ... Read the complete review

I bought this from John Lewis under their price match scheme, £135 not bad for a multiregion DVD player. I used the handset hack to set it to multiregion, and bingo multiregion works. Stuck in region 4 The Matrix, wow. I am now buying stuff from Australia and the US because they are so much cheaper. Output quality is ... Read the complete review

I like to enter competitions and a lot of them offer DVD players as prizes these days. The one we won was the samsung DVD 511. I have to say that I am surprises at some of the other comments which indicated production faults. To date I have not had any problems. I have to say that I am not technical and do not have a ...

I have had this model of DVD player now for about 7 months and have had nothing but pleasure from it. At the time it cost about £220 but that price should have come down since then and for that price you simply can't go wrong. As far as i can tell a DVD player is a fairly simple device. It plays DVD's and ... Read the complete review

The Samsung 511... what could possibly go wrong with a DVD player from a reasonably good manufacturer like Samsung? A lot, I'm afraid. I swapped this player twice and still had problems. Maybe it was a bad batch; I'll never know. First of all, the player seemed to overheat after about 30 minutes. "Don't put is ... Read the complete review

I purchased the Sammy 511 about 6 months ago. Lets start with the build quality, this is good and the player looks good with a metallic finish. The drive mechanism seems of good quality and the buttons are sturdy enough. Next on the list is the remote. No problems here everything falls to hand quite easily and it is very ...

The Samsung 511 is a very good budget level DVD player with more than average features for a player in that price range. I didn?t buy mine but won it in a prize draw so I can?t comment much on value, price, etc. although, at an average price of around £150, it does seem good value for money. The specifications/features ... Read the complete review

After trying to put it off as long as possible, I finally caved into buying a DVD player The Samsung 511 is modestly priced with the average price being anywhere between 150-180 The player itself is housed in a nice shiny brushed aluminum-look-alike case, with a Samsung logo embossed into the top. The on-screen display is ... Read the complete review

On checking out www.beststuff.co.uk, which lists the best items in any given category, I went for the Samusng 511. Armed with my new machine, a region 1 and a region 2 DVD I went ahead with the hack mentioned here. Five mins later I ... Read the complete review

The Samsung DVD 511 is basically the new Samsung 709. The 709 was a vey popular player due to a multi-region hack that was avalible. Well the 511 also has a hack and it is a lot better than the 709s. It is easy and only needs to be applied once. It is as follows; To make sure your player is in factory settings cold start the ... Read the complete review
