Samsung DVD-1080P8 1080p Upconverting DVD Player

This unit is well worth the price. I noticed a big improvement with my
conventional DVD movies on my Samsung 1080P HDTV over my older Sony player. The heck with BluRay high def, this is good enough for me and $300 saved. REK

i woudlnt pay more than 50, and can probably get a cheaper one that performs just as well..

Bought it with the 40 inch Samsung LCD Panel TV, works great. Plays movie crystal clear. Would suggest to a friend.

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.
