I just pulled this out of storage to use as a an analog cd player for a new(for me) vintage marantz receiver that arrived today, I see a lot of complaints about the up converting abilities of this unit but as I recall when I used it last it only...

Just as a note, the DTS skipping problem I was able to resolve by updating the firmware on the unit. You can download the firmware from Samsung's site. After that, DTS sound worked great and I didn't have anymore skipping. The problem I have is...

To Use DVI you must have HDCP compliant TV\Monitor

 

To Use DVI you must have HDCP compliant TV\Monitor

I had difficulty with this unit. It would play DVD's I made myself, but not any store bought DVD's through the DVI Cable. I called up Samsung support and found out that unless your TV is HDCP compliant then it will not play store bought DVD's through...

I purchased this player for around 70 bucks shipped from an Ebay vendor last week. It was packaged as a recondition and arrived with new remote batteries and a DVI cable to boot. It was easy to setup with my Westinghouse 37inch LCD using DVI cable...

Don't overlook this player

 

Don't overlook this player

Earlier this week I received the factory referbished Samsung HD841. I have had a few days to use it and compare it to my other players, mainly my Philips 642, which have been excellent players for me. This Model does well. I don't understand why this...

A complete disappointment

 

A complete disappointment

I've had this player for a year now and it's a real dud. It's got a terrible remote pickup, bad menus and worst of all, it resets some of its settings while your watching a DVD. Stay away from this disaster.

Better than the best DVD players out there with my TV

OK let me tell everyone my story. I purchased a WestingHouse 37" HD LCD Monitor that has 2 DVI Inputs. I have my computer hooked up using DVI 1080P which is superb and this DVD player hooked up to the 2nd DVI 1080I input. This DVD player works...

Pretty good for the money

 

Pretty good for the money

I am not sure which output was used in one of the previous review, but the output from DVI to my projector for 110" screen is very comparable to more expensive player. Of course the projector has to be re-tuned (AVI disc in my case). And, as some folks...

Product Specifications

Samsung's DVD-HD841 delivers scintillating video and audio performance at an eye-popping price. Between the unit's progressive-scan component-video and DVI digital-video outputs, sophisticated high-definition upconversion (from 480i/p DVD-Video to 720p, 768p, or 1080i, depending on your HDTV), and processing abilities for the audio-only SACD (Super Audio CD) and DVD-Audio formats, this player quite nearly does it all. Samsung's video upconversion technology eliminates visible scan lines and artifacts arising from interlaced video and the 3:2 pulldown process required to render film-based movies as NTSC video. The result: higher resolution from conventional sources and sharper images with few motion artifacts. The player's DVI digital-video output may be used for lossless video transmission between the player and compatible TVs and computer monitors.
