Samsung DVD-R135

By (whathomecinemamag.com)

The main claim to fame of this DVD-RW/DVD-R recorder is an HDMI output with video upscaling to 720p and 1080i, which makes it a great machine to go for if you already own an HD Ready TV

Affordable, Very little MPEG noise

No digital tuner, LP and EP modes best avoided

The price is attractive, but too many cost-cutting compromises have been made to recommend it

Analogue tuner, Poor LP/EP modes, Lack of multiformat support

An unspectacular DVD recorder that lacks multiformat support and a digital tuner, but is easy to use with decent DVD playback

But although it may not inspire rampant gear lust, Samsung's DVD-R135, with i...
