Samsung DVD-HD870 - DVD Player Review

This deck certainly has the measure of the budget market, but faces a tougher task against rivals in the HD-upscaling arena.Visually, it puts them all to shame with a beautiful black finish and gently sloping fascia ...read the full review

3 of 5 Not all its cracked up to be Tuesday, March 18, 2008
Jason B from Parker, CO  
I purchased this for the upconverting feature and also the HDMI outputs. I originally installed this with a regular RCA video cable to my Sharp Aquos 1080i LCD tv. When I finally aqcuired the expensive HDMI cable, I unhooked the RCA cable and watched the same movie(Transformers) with the HDMI cable and the upconverting feature turned on. The picture actually degraded! With HDMI and upconverting to 1080i or 720p, a subtle shadow was added to everything on the screen and the pixelation was very noticable. I was able to get the best picture by turning off the upconverting feature and using component cables rather than HDMI. I'm not sure if other 'upconverting' dvd players can do any better, but do not spend extra $$ on this model if you are expecting a better picture than a regular (non-upconverting) dvd player. I currently have this dvd player connected side-by-side next to my old PS2, both with component cables to the same tv, and can not see even the slightest bit of picture improvement over the PS2.

5 of 5 A Great Buy Monday, December 24, 2007
Kyle from Richmond Hill, NY  
I had bought his DVD player to replace my broken Toshiba DVD player. I was impressed with the Samsung Brand ever since i had bought their TV. This DVD player was amazing havng the ability to upscale to 1080i, and have an HDMI output. It also has DivX support so all the movies you can get online you can play. But this was worth the thought if anyone is looking for a new DVD player under $100
