Samsung Could Do Better

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: Upconversion is good, but it has problems during disc play and with menus.
Review: 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...

Review from slurpz_69

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2006
Review: 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?

Date of Review:  Aug 9, 2005
Review: 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,...

Extremely Frustrating!!!

Date of Review:  May 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: Wouldn't recommend it based on poor FF and REV functions.
Review: 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...

Great addition to my home theater

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: Like I said in my review, I recommend this player to anyone with a fixed pixel display capable of HD resolution.
Review: 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...

Nice DVD Player but NO DIVX in US or Canada

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: Nice DVD Player, but check out other offerings and make sure you get what is important to you!
Review: 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...

SAMSUNG SCORES AGAIN with Latest HD-Upconversion DVD Player!

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2005
The Bottom Line: BEST BUY in it's field, ADDS to your HDTV & bring new life to your DVD collection! For under $150, TV will look like a theater. ONLY HDMI/DVI UPCONVERTING!
Review: 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...

No Video Upgrade unless HDMI

Date of Review:  Apr 22, 2005
Review: 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...

Not impressed with Hi-Def conversion picture

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you have the patience, wait for the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray players, or spend more money on one of the higher end Hi-Def conversion DVD players.
Review: 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...
