HD860, a good buy
|
| I had an old progressive scan DVD player by Memorex. That older player gave a good picture on 720p hd at 480p. I however wanted to utiliuze my TV as best I could while Blu-Ray and HD duke it out like Beta-Max and VHS. I decided on this unit after reading consumer reviews and profressionals as well. I am very pleased. I have not experienced the freezing as described by some and have had no problems at all since purchasing one. My television does not convert the digital sound through it's DVI port but the sound from the stero plugs is a marked improvement over my old player. The sound is layered more than before, warmer and crisper. The picture needs to be adjusted to 720p or 1080i each time the player is turned off via remote. Not a big deal, though it would be nice if the player detected the TV max res and upgraded automaticaly, but, a minor task. I watched LOTR Fellowship after hooking it up and I was blown away at the sharpness of the picture, the clarity, the richness of color and the details of the sets and costumes that had been hiding. It was like watching some scenes for the first time with the improved sound and picture quality. I would definately recommend this item if you want to upgrade the viewing of DVD's if you have a 720 on up, other wise stick with a progressive scan. You must have an HDMI or DVI port on your TV to get the upgrades above 480. I am very pleased with this product and am surprised at how Samsung has improved over the years. I had trouble with set up and received excellent customer service. |
