Samsung DVD-HD841 Up-Converting DVD Player
Decent picture, but flawed playback and outputs
I decided to give this DVD player a shot since it was only $59 for a refurb, and I have to admit I'm regretting my decision for being so cheap. <br /> <br />1) Setting up the DVI port wasn't an issue for me, and when the player is correctly playing, the picture is solid and clear on 720p. The problem is that every 5-10 minutes there is a invisible magnified line that progresses through the screen. I consider this a serious defect in its playback capabilities <br /> <br />2) Since I started using the player initially on a DVI connection, I could never get the DVD player to function on its component out ports.  <br /> <br />3) The remote layout for me doesn't bother me too much since I'm the simple set it and forget it type of user. As long as it fast fwds/rewinds/gets to the main menu, I couldn't really care too much about the other functions. <br /> <br />Overall, I would recommend staying away from this product especially considering if you're considering a DVD player with upconversion, you probably invested a pretty penny in your TV. Don't be cheap like I was about the DVD player
