Samsung DVD-HD841 Up-Converting DVD Player
DVI not all it's cracked up to be
Don't buy this player just because of the DVI. When you use the DVI, the Samsung doesn't render all gradations of black. You can clearly see this in the THX contrast test or by noting how dark the interiors are on the first few minutes of Star Wars Episode IV. Sound & Vision magazine noted it too (January issue). It's a critical flaw, very noticeable, and for me renders DVI unwatchable. That said, the component video output delivers a good picture and I'm happy with the sound, but don't be like me and buy this player because you wanted to check out DVI.
