Samsung DVD-1080P7 Up-Converting 1080p DVD Player

The Samsung DVD-HD1080P7 Hi-Def Conversion DVD Player is designed for those who accept nothing less than HDTV quality. Now you can enjoy enhanced resolution from your conventional DVDs - the player upconverts them to 720p/1080i/1080p, giving them amazing clarity. You'll be impressed by the dramatically improved sharpness, color and detail Samsung's HDMI output and DivX (MPEG-4) playback add, even on large-screen displays. Samsung's EVQ (Enhanced Video Quality) and Progressive scan output give you true color reproduction. And at 1.8" in height, it fits neatly into any home theater system. Simply connect your DVD Player to your Home Theater System with a single cable for the high quality pictures and sound.

Had the same problem others have reported -- the LED readout on the front of the player starts saying gibberish (looks like the album cover for Ghost In The Machine by The Police); which I could live with, but the player starts doing funny things such as constantly resetting to factory settings, or worse yet, not reading the DVD's at all. Its performance has been intermittent since almost day one, and now seems to have crapped out completely. I'm gonna try the firmware update but don't have too much hope that'll fix things. Either way, I will never buy another Samsuck DVD player again.

Goes perfect with the my new Samsung Plasma. Very Small. So far it has been great.

This is a really nice DVD player. it plays almost all formats. I am using HDMI cables and paired this with a Samsung 40" LCD and the picture quality is really good. I would suggest everyone thinking of getting a bluRay try this first until BluRay matures and the prices come down.

This DVD player broke after I played it only three times. It was connected to my TV via component outputs. For some reason the component outputs stopped working. I tested multiple cables and configurations and nothing would work. I brought it to a store to be tested. They plugged it into a TV and tried all of the outputs. They were puzzled after trying to get component to work, only to see the other ones work just fine.

I ordered this player because I have had problems in the past with other DVD players not working with home made DVDs. This one not only looks great but plays everything Ive put into it! The face is flashy but functional and the stock remote is very useful. I was able to play even film project movies that would not work on some computer DVD players! Great machine! Highly recommended. This product is well worth the extra couple bucks!
