Samsung DVD-HD931 HDTV Converter Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Very disappointing in all respects
If you're like me, you probably bought this player for one reason only - its DVI output.<br />So let's talk about that first.  The good news - DVI output probably does improve picture quality if you're outputting in native resolution to a 'digital' type display unit - ie, a plasma screen, or a projector if it used DLP/LCD technology.  But if you're outputting to an analog device (ie rear projection or normal tv) then the improvement is much less noticeable.  I have a brand new Philips 60\\" rear proj tv and don't really see much difference in the DVI feed at all.<br />So if that is the 'good news', what about the bad news?  Lots, I'm afraid.  The biggest problem is that the remote has buttons that do double duty as both fast forward and also as skip to next track, in a manner that is very clumsy and hard to get right.  For all intents and purposes, fast forwarding is impossible with this unit.  Skipping to the next track is reasonably easy, but if you want to just fast forward a little bit, forget about it.  That is a major negative.<br />The remote also seems to have very limited range, and much of the time I'm having to press buttons repeatedly to get the set to 'hear' the remote.  Nasty.<br />There are other minor negatives as well - for example, there's no way you can get a display of total time on the disc or remaining time to go, but these are minor points.<br />In summary, this unit is woefully underfeatured and very user unfriendly.  I'm returning mine.  Unless you have a plasma screen or LCD/DLP projector, you won't notice much difference in quality with the DVI output.  Although I haven't tried one, it seems that probably the Bravo D1 is a better choice if you must have DVI now.
