Samsung DVD-HD850 DVD Player

Pros: Upconversion

Cons: Playing delays

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...

Pros: Just wanted to review it so more people can see how great it is!

Cons: Kind regards, Diana Maria.

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.

Pros: Small size player

Cons: Does the same thing as many Big screen TV's, player is not needed

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,...

Pros: Good picture and sound. Sleek looking

Cons: Delay on tray opening. Horrible FF and REV functions!

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...

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

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...

Pros: HDMI Cable Included, Nice remote, fast!

Cons: Dark Pictures, only digital for surround, no DivX

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...

Pros: HDMI, 1080i, HIGH DETAIL PICTURE, LOW COST TO OWN, JUST ALOT FOR THE MONEY!

Cons: NONE! Run Get One!

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...

Pros: The 16x9 aspect ratio was nice with my 16x9 TV

Cons: Singnal upgrade not available with all inputs

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...

Pros: I LOVE this remote, . The player looks great, sleek, small, and stylish.

Cons: You have to stop movie to change DVD (player) options

Review: 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...

Pros: Great price; HDMI connection; clean, modern design; optical and coaxial audio connections.

Cons: Hi-Def conversion improvement only minimal.

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.

The Hi-Def conversion feature is only...
