Just got myself the Samsung HL-S5088W 50DLP HDTV with 1080p. I was not aware how important it was to have a player that upconverts with the HDMI slot, since my intention was to use my old player which does not have this function and no doubt would have been somewhat dissappointed with my new TV or at least would have thought that I needed a blue ray or hddvd player and spent $600 to $1000 extra. from Vanns.com This DVD player is a great DVD player, but it could be better. Yes it has the most features of any player I have owned. from Radioshack.com This dvd player is a gem. The picture is magnificent. from Amazon.com Product works very well. My only issue is the very flimsy DVD trey. But this is a great value for the low price. from Amazon.com I recently moved up at an HDTV, and didn't want to commit to the high-def DVD war. I honestly don't see any picture difference with the up converting on. from Amazon.com Bought the DVD player in conjuntion with a Panasonic 42 inch HDTV. Both item sare rated amoung the highest in Consumer Reports and the price officered was the lowest bar none. from Amazon.com I bought this player for 2 reasons. Price and the HDMI upconvert. I reviewd several units on this and other websites. I received the unit today. from Amazon.com I am not sure why I am not experiencing the better picture via the up-converting most others are.. I have it hooked up via HDMI cable to my Hitachi 50 inch RPTV HDVT..the picture is good...but no better than any of my other DVD players. from Amazon.com Pros: Great machine for little money. Has worked flawlessly over a year now with no problems at all. Easy set up and gives a great picture on my Panasonic Plasma HD. Cons: For me, none. from Newegg.com I bought this DVD player to replace the Toshiba SD-K860SU DVD player, which was giving me trouble mainly because it would pause every once in a while, apparently to "buffer" the program data. So far, after about a month's worth of use this machine does not exhibit that problem - the movies play fine from start to end. from Amazon.com
