What we think: Not the easiest machine to use, but picture quality is good and it has plenty of useful features
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 5 February 2008
Tags: samsung, channels, pick, dvd player
We like:
Decent amount of features; lots of storage space; option to backup to DVD is handy if you're a hoarder
We don't like:
Menus; sluggish controls; only one tuner
You might also need:
HDMI cable
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Samsung DVD-SH855M offers a lot, but just misses the mark on usability. It does, however, make up some ground with better than average picture quality
