Samsung DVD-HD860 Up-Converting DVD Player
It can't play DivX, shame on Samsung
So I just bought a new Samsung LCD TV so I thought I should also buy a HDMI capable DVD Player to get the best on my new LCD TV. I saw this and I thought this would be perfect because it looks like the design is similar to my Samsung TV (the circle controls on the unit is like base on the power button on my TV). I had few DVD rip DivX file, when I got no time to watch the DVD and I had to return it, my option was to rip them and view them later. The burned DVD disk with DivX file wouldn't play, it display the file names but that's it, its not playing. Even though todays DVD player are now cheap, this one is bit expensive and it doesnt even have DivX. Fastforward and Rewind seems to be really really slow and laggy, when I press those 2 buttons on the remote, it takes about 4 or 5 second for the unit for respond. Since both TV and DVD are Samsung, I was able to control the DVD functions on my TV's remote. The colors from the DVD is good too since both are Samsung, no tweaks at all, picture was great on the first DVD disk I put on the drive. Its too bad, now I'm returning this one. Really shame, I really like the design, it a perfect match on the new Samsung TV's.
