  • SAMSUNG SCORES AGAIN with Latest HD-Upconversion DVD Player!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 10, 2005
    Pros: HDMI, 1080i, HIGH DETAIL PICTURE, LOW COST TO OWN, JUST ALOT FOR THE MONEY!
    Cons: NONE! Run Get One!

    Summary: Samsung's newest entry into the UPconvert/ Scaling DVD player field, is not only priced right, it's also their best player to date. Designed to replace the DVD-HD841, which itself was a very good solid unit. I've been anxious to try this player owning ... read more

  • Samsung Could Do Better

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 8, 2007
    Pros: Upconversion
    Cons: Playing delays

    Summary: I purchased this dvd player to go with the Samsung 50" DLP I purchased. While I've found the DLP TV to be up to par, I have found this dvd player isn't. The main selling point was that this is an up conversion dvd player, meaning that using the ... read more

  • Extremely Frustrating!!!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 30, 2006
    Pros: Good picture and sound. Sleek looking
    Cons: Delay on tray opening. Horrible FF and REV functions!

    Summary: OK. So the picture is great and the sound is great. But that should be a given for any DVD player - let alone an up-conversion model. I had a economy JVC DVD player and when I bought a 50" Samsung DLP I figured it was time to upgrade my DVD. I went to ... read more

  • Nice DVD Player but NO DIVX in US or Canada

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Sep 9, 2005
    Pros: HDMI Cable Included, Nice remote, fast!
    Cons: Dark Pictures, only digital for surround, no DivX

    Summary: I picked this up to go with my new Samsung HLR-4264W DLP TV and was fairly impressed by the results. Picture and speed of the DVD player were very nice through the HDMI cable but the up-conversion aspect of the player was a little underwhelming. Don’t ... read more

  • Great addition to my home theater

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 24, 2005
    Pros: Picture quality, upconversion, HDMI and Digital Optical outputs, slick silver finish
    Cons: Fast Forward function, If your monitor's HD... you probably have cheaper options

    Summary: Purchase through set-up: I purchased the Samsung HD850 at Best Buy to replace my aging and temperamental APEX AD-703 DVD changer. The 850 plugged right into my burgeoning home theater system with relative ease using an HDMI to DVI cable (not included) ... read more

  • Not impressed with Hi-Def conversion picture

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 13, 2005
    Pros: Great price; HDMI connection; clean, modern design; optical and coaxial audio connections.
    Cons: Hi-Def conversion improvement only minimal.

    Summary: I wasn't expecting perfect Hi-Def pictures from this DVD player, but I was at least expecting a measurable improvement over regular DVD players. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. PICTURE The Hi-Def conversion feature is only available through the ... read more

    Pros: Just wanted to review it so more people can see how great it is!
    Cons: Kind regards, Diana Maria.

    Summary: This is probably the cheapest DVD player, but possibly the best :) it has pretty much everything a DVD needs to function the way you want it at home.

  • Is this really required for a great picture?

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Aug 9, 2005
    Pros: Small size player
    Cons: Does the same thing as many Big screen TV's, player is not needed

    Summary: I have a JVC 61" DILA big screen with 720p resolution that looks incredible with HD broadcasts. I'm very picky about picture quality. After buying the Big screen TV and playing DVD's, I was disappointed in the quality of the picture with most DVD's,

  • What a wonderful new toy!!

    Jul 20, 2005
    Pros: I LOVE this remote, . The player looks great, sleek, small, and stylish.
    Cons: You have to stop movie to change DVD (player) options

    Summary: I just bought this about 30 minutes ago, i had a similar LG that had major voice synch problems, the LG was about 199 and i bought it open box buy for 149. I thought i had made out and realized how wrong i was, this samsung has more options, and even

    Pros: Easy to use Awesome picture hdmi cable supplied!
    Cons: doesn't take the dvd's out of the case for me

    Summary: Purchased the LG version (model had 414 in it) and was quickly disappointed with the very slow card reader. I figured it's a dvd player, so this would be a mute point. Picture quality was quite good however no hdmi cable is supplied (180.00 and no

  • No Video Upgrade unless HDMI

    Apr 22, 2005
    Pros: The 16x9 aspect ratio was nice with my 16x9 TV
    Cons: Singnal upgrade not available with all inputs

    Summary: Well, after a few weeks of no reviews anywhere online I figured $150 (Best Buy) was inexpensive enough to hope that the video quality would upgrade on my Panasonic PT-40LC12 (non DVI/HDMI inputs. S-Video and Composite only) After previewing several
