Samsung DVD-HD960 Up-Converting DVD Player
Great picture
I upgraded from the Samsung HD860 which upconverts to 720p and 1080i.  I was fairly happy with the 860 since it was a huge improvement over my progressive scan player. Since I have a new Samsung HL-S5087 1080p HDTV, I thought the 960 should be the perfect match. Ten minutes out of the box with the included HDMI cable plugged in and the Revenge of the Sith loaded and I could tell a definite improvement.  Breathtaking from the start, the blackest black and clearest details. Must be the DCDi Faroudja chip I have read about and expected to do just this.  No need to buy blue ray yet. Wow, a great DVD player and handles so many other formats as well.  I have not seen anything to complain about and I am a keen observer. I am very happy with this purchase.
