I had bought a Samsung 32" 1080p TV and decided to get the Samsung upscaling 1080p dvd player, thinking they would talk nice to each other. Boy, was I wrong! Every time I played a dvd, every few minutes the video and audio would cut out, saying that it lost the signal and was searching for it. This happened continually. First thing I tried switching HDMI cables. I tried 3 different cables, no luck. Next, I sent the dvd player back to Amazon for a different model, same behavior. Finally, since I had a 30-day return, no questions asked, from Best Buy, I had them come get my Samsung TV and exchange it for another of the same model. Still the same behavior. A sales person at Video Only told me he had a customer who experienced the same abnormality that I did -- Samsung dvd player cutting out when playing through a Samsung TV. He brought back the Samsung and bought a Sony dvd player instead. Perfect picture and no signal problems. I finally did the same. Bought a Sony DVP-NS700H/S and hooked it up. Worked perfectly with my original HDMI cable. Now I have a Samsung dvd that I may give to my daughter to see if she can get it to work. I love my Samsung TV but I will never buy another Samsung dvd or other component again.

I expected better image quality, when you forced 1080i the quality is fair. but below that is not that good. The picture is a little blur.

I got this for free when i bought a tv. it worked great for 2 months, but it dosnt work anymore. i didnt drop it or anything. it just stoped working. dont pay for this. theres certainly a reason why there giving them away. i gave my old dvd player to my parents. now i have to go by a new one. thanks.

Who needs to go to the movies!The Samsung plays movies flawlessly both visually and sound wise plus you never miss the begining looking for a parking spot and what movie house will pause the film as you step away from your seat. Regardless of what kind of TV you have you will like your at the movies but there is no annoying chatter, food smells in the air or litter under your feet! The seat you choose will make you feel at home. BiLL

Have always liked Samsung products but this one is crapola. Have received 2 and both have intermittent HDMI output. Units were tested on several TV's and cables that other HDMI equipment worked fine on. I'm guessing Samsung has little or no Quality Control.
