Samsung DVD-HD960 Up-Converting DVD Player
Enjoy your favorite DVD movies in high definition without having to wait for Blu-Ray and HD-DVD players with the affordable Samsung DVD-HD960 single-disc, progressive scan DVD player–the perfect partner to your HD-capable LCD or plasma TV. Where standard DVD players (even progressive scan models) provide just 480 lines of resolution, the DVD-HD860 will “upconvert” the picture up to 1080p (as well as 720p and 1080i)–taking full advantage of your HD television’s sparkling resolution. This elegantly slim unit can also play a wide range of disc and file formats and offers a number of playback convenience features, including bookmarking, multiple camera angles, and folder accessibility on MP3/WMA-formatted discs.

It is alright I guess
This DVD player is OK. In hindsight, I should have picked up a Toshiba HD DVD player or the PS3 and used their upconverting features.

Decent
This is a pretty good purchase. I like that it came with an HDMI cord, which I’m not sure it still does.

Good DVD player, but…
This is a good DVD player (good picture, and low-profile), however, like the other reviews say…it is V-E-R-Y…S-L-O-W.

The Samsung DVD=HD960 is the best DVD player I have ever owned. It is incredible just how high the definition is compared to any other player I’ve seen.
