Samsung DVD-HD870 review

 

Affordable and stylish, but lacking a few key features

Picture ; Design ; Picture adjustment otpions

No 1080p upscaling or other killer features

Undoubtedly a great DVD player with solid performance and nice features, but not quite good enough to overcome strong competition.

Samsung DVD HD870 review

 

Who said cheap has to be horrible?

Sleek design ; Disc compatability ; Upscaled pictures

HDMI/component usability issues ; No 5.1 decoding

Decent features and performance at a very competitive price

Samsung DVD-HD870 review

 

The budget DVD market is a fearsomely competitive world, where obscure Far Eastern players made from what appears to be polystyrene do battle with stripped down players from bigger brands. King of this jungle at the moment is Toshiba's ££60 SD-370E,...

Samsung DVD-HD870 review

 

With all the bluster about HD DVD and Blu-ray , you could be forgiven for thinking that it was the end of the road for the humble DVD player. In reality, however, the DVD player has plenty of life left in it yet.

Styling; features; picture quality.

Remote control; ugly menus; sluggish controls.

With support for lots of formats and a nifty upscaling feature, we wouldn't have a problem recommending the Samsung DVD-HD870 if you want to boost the picture quality of your DVD collection

There appears to be a competition among the major DVD player makers to see who can cram the most into a deck and charge the least for it. The Samsung DVD-HD870 won't upscale your DVD collection to 1080p, true, but there's enough here for the £70 price tag

Design and style, Price, Connectivity, Ease of use, Picture quality

No 1080p upscaling

A great-looking DVD player that's a solid picture performer, but if you want 1080p upscaling, avert your eyes now

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Okay product but doesn't meet my needs

 

Read the small print from newegg on this one. It is not refundable. Newegg will only replace it.

It works well with Divx. It playes DVD's nicely has a wide range of connectors. I like it overall

Does not play dual layer DVD-R/DVD+R ; Cannot change to region free

Looks great, matches my Samsung LCD perfectly, as does the well constructed remote.

Disappointing picture quality.

My understanding of it

 

Are three characteristics of Samsung. Samsung designs and workmanship has always been good, and this DVD-HD860 players appear on the very high-grade, and good use of Dolby Digital, DTS, video digital-to-analog conversion using 14Bit/165MHz processor,...

High-grade Beautiful

Not found the time being

Samsung DVD HD870

 

DVD PLAYER. I HAVE A SAMSUNG DVD - V940K AND THOUGHT I'D RUN THIS AS AN S - VIDEO CONNECTION ALONGSIDE THE NEW SAMSUNG. YOU CAN SEE A PRETTY HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF THE PICTURE WHEN HDMI AS OPPOSED TO S - VIDEO. THE THING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT...

Upscaled DVDs look beautiful on Samsung TVs. DIVx playback is great

Has no 1080p upscaling, remote control, only 1080i, slow remote control, hdmi component usability
