Samsung DVD-HD841 Up-Converting DVD Player
Better than the best DVD players out there with my TV
OK let me tell everyone my story. I purchased a WestingHouse 37\\" HD LCD Monitor that has 2 DVI Inputs. I have my computer hooked up using DVI 1080P which is superb and this DVD player hooked up to the 2nd DVI 1080I input. This DVD player works perfectly. I do agree with a couple of the critizisms posted earlier (I'm reading everybodys) like the rewindind, fastforwarding is choppy and impossible to stop precisely where you want it to, but who cares. I do have to directly point the remote just right to it, but I was never bothered by it (Maybe it's because of location i have it in)...     but all in all I have purchased the FIVE MOST EXPENSIVE/BEST HDMI DVD players money can buy! from Best Buy ($179 LG, $159 Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, etc) that did not detect my TV correctly! I had to return all DVD players because of this annoyance! On all these DVD players I had to keep configuring the 1080i everytime! It would never save the setting! and each had good things over the others and bad things over others (cosmetic, configuration issues). I called my TV WestingHouse support and was told I must use a DVI connection DVD player for it to detect it properly (so I wouldn't have to keep configuring it) cause the HDMI to DVI cable converter will not work (I was using a $179 Monster cable too!! that I purchased for these FIVE DVD players..)I couldn't believe this DVD player was only $50 (which I got for $39 as a winning bid actually) and I got a FREE DVI cable! OMG!! And I actually thought this DVD player functioned better than all the other 5 DVD players.. but again, this is probably for my TV. This is a jackpot DVD player to own if you have the WestingHouse LCD for $50 or less.. You save $50-$180 on a DVI cable depending on brand and $50-$130 on a HD upconversion DVD player you would buy from Best Buy (which you HAVE to get HDMI is why) I have watched hundreds of movies so far on this DVD player and 1-3 movies on each of the FIVE other DVD players (I have local instore blockbuster pass that I use daily - [yes i'm a movie freak]) so far and all have worked perfectly in 1080i 1920x1080 resolution and I saw no difference in picture quality compared to all the other DVD players. I have not complained at all about anything on this DVD player while using it. [Maybe just little on pointing the remote directly at it- but not enough to complain about-other DVD players were same at this]    I am excited to write this review after [...] I went through last year on going back and forth to Best Buy and trying ALL their UpConversion DVD players they had and getting this DVD player for less than $50 WITH THE DVI CABLE!!!    Thank you!
