This upconverting DVD player is very small and slim and lightweight. The quality of the picture on my new plasma TV is excellent. I compared the same DVD played on my previous (5 years old) Samsung player with this player and the difference was obvious.

I'm guessing this improvement is due to two reasons: the upconverting process plus the HDMI output. The player also has Component and Composite outputs, but the picture is much better using an HDMI cable to the TV. One slim cable for excellent picture and sound compared to the five bulky cables required by my previous player -that is also a big improvement.

** Update 8/14/2011 ** This DVD player and remote are still working very well.

** Update 9/13/2012 ** Still working perfectly after a couple of years of frequent use.

The DVD picture looks very sharp via the HDMI cable. Only problem is that it's quite noisy when a DVD is playing inside the machine. If you can deal with a slight hissing noise (emitting from player), get it. If not, you should look for another product.

With my new Samsung 1080p 120Hz 40" LCD TV, DVD's look better with the Samsung upconverting player than with the generic 720 player. The pans look smoother than in the cinema, and it is compact and easy to use with an intuitive menu. The price on Amazon was good, too. Very satisfied.

I bought this for my wife to use with her Samsung TV in her office, so she could use the same remote.

Nice thought.

I've had 7 or 8 DVD players since my first one, and I've NEVER had one this noisy. If you're watching something kind of quiet, like a Yoga instruction DVD (one of the things she wanted it for) It's completely useless, because the sound of the drive really drowns out the audio of the DVD.
