Great bang for the buck!

I am using a TV that can only accept 1080i. I have the TV calibrated and I am fairly pleased with the picture. It is a noticeable improvement from regular 480p but I do notice a softening of pictures when upconverted. Anyone doing a review of any equipment should rate according to price. For a $100 player, its a steal, not the best, but you get what you pay for, in this case, more. And please...lets stop comparing apples and oranges (DVD vs. HD DVD)...you bought this unit because you either can't afford a BluRay player or upgrade your video library.

Worst DVD Players on the market.

I own two Samsung DVD players and neither one of them worked for more than a year. Customer support suggested cleaning the player as a fix that cost me 25.00 for the cleaning kit which didn't correct the issue. I live in PA and the closest repair center is in NJ. I'd recommend anything but a SAMSUNG.

Clarifying "Up Converting"

by Tanner on Dec 31st, 2007 at 1:40 PM:

Just a clarification. Up-converting players do not and cannot convert standard DVDs to high definition 720p or 1080i/p pictures. DVDs only store up to 480 vertical lines of resolution. Up converting players cannot add lines of resolution; they simply prevent interlacing by outputting 480p signals.

HD VS HDMI

I have an upscale DVD Samsung player and totally like it. I am running HDMI with a Sony LCD and it is great but, nowhere near picture quality of an HD DVD. REASON!! When people say you can upscale to 720p-1080i, its 1080i, the HD DVDs are 1080 p. big diff and may look better then HD TV.

Great DVD Player

I never understood why Samsung had such slow load times on some of their players, maybe its an old CPU chip they are using or something.

The picture quality and menu on this player is great, I have had no regrets buying it. The price could have been lower, but I figure it's high since they include an HDMI cable.
