Samsung DVD-HD850 Up-Converting DVD Player
The Best But Not The Best
After reading all those reviews, I decided to buy and try this unit.  The DVD-HD850 have HDMI connection, which can convert to the following resolutions: <br />          a) 480p/576p :  720 x 480 , 720 x 576 <br />          b) 720p      : 1280 x 720 <br />          c) 768p      : 1024 x 768 <br />          d) 1080i     : 1920 x 1080 <br />All these resolutions can be convert to maximum if you have HDMI connection in your tv, component cable connection will not help with this converter.  When you think you got it hook up with HDMi and watch with hi res,then take a look at the resolutions. You cannot watch tv with 1080i resolution. I have not seen a single tv out there that have resolution of 1920 x 1080. The highest resolution i know is provided with my projection Sony is 1378 x 768 . When using it at hi res your tv will become Judder. which mean no picture and interference lines appear across the screen. Soon you need to replace a new tv, because your tv can not play that hi res but you force it to do so. This dvd work great if play at lower res. Picture look stunning and sound quality is great when connect to HDMI.  When connect with component cable, picture is also stunning but sound quality is not digital sound. What negative about this is everything control by the remote control.  if this remote malfunction or lost, then the dvd is doom. Otherwise this is a nice looking piece dvd player. By the way did i mention that this player comes with an HDMI cable? But not the extra component cable. This dvd player play most of the burn dvd disc that I have. If you happened to buy it enjoy the great movie and take care.  Good luck with what you have, may the force be with you
