Buy this and use till Blu Ray matures 
2008-07-08
This is a really nice DVD player. it plays almost all formats. I am using HDMI cables and paired this with a Samsung 40" LCD and the picture quality is really good.
I would suggest everyone thinking of getting a bluRay try this first until BluRay matures and the prices come down.
Component outputs stopped working after 3 plays 
2008-06-23
This DVD player broke after I played it only three times. It was connected to my TV via component outputs. For some reason the component outputs stopped working. I tested multiple cables and configurations and nothing would work.
I brought it to a store to be tested. They plugged it into a TV and tried all of the outputs. They were puzzled after trying to get component to work, only to see the other ones work just fine.
Great DVD player, Plays anything! Well worth the money.

I ordered this player because I have had problems in the past with other DVD players not working with home made DVDs. This one not only looks great but plays everything Ive put into it! The face is flashy but functional and the stock remote is very useful. I was able to play even film project movies that would not work on some computer DVD players! Great machine! Highly recommended. This product is well worth the extra couple bucks!
Exactly what I was hoping for 2008-06-16
It does what it's supposed to. The picture (on my 50" DLP) looks great, no matter what DVD I'm watching. It is sleek in design... although the "power button" does glow when running, which can be kinda annoying. The remote is a typical Samsung remote, easy to use, but not real flashy.
All-in-all, a very good unit for the money.

Great DvD player for bedroom 2008-05-15
With all the hype about Blu-ray and 1080p. I still enjoy putting a DvD in to my Samsung DVD-1080P7. It plays great on my Samsung 40" and looks amazing
Samsung DVD 1080P7 2008-05-03
I have had a problem with this Samsung upconverting DVD player. In the beginning and even up to 15 minutes of play there are sometimes bright flashes of light that flash across the screen. After this finishes there is an excellent picture and we are very pleased with the unit. This does not happen with all discs, and sometimes the flashing is so slight and so short that it is not be a problem. Amazon sent me a replacement unit, and it has the same problem. In discussing this with Samsung they asked me to send it to them for repair. We feel that the problem is slight enough to not bother. This is being used with a new Samsung 4071 TV and played through a new Yamaha RX-V661 receiver. HDMI chords are used.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Good player but lacks Divx support 
2008-04-28
I purchased this player about 3 months ago but needed to return it due to the lack of Divx support and some spotty playback issues.

Impressive. Limited fine tunning capacity.
I purchased this DVD player for the specific purpose of making full use of my Samsung LNT4071F purchase. I am using Belkin, HDMI 1.3, 6ft. long cables.
So far I have not been terribly disappointed. I really do perceive a quality difference in my regular DVDs' quality. The movies which seem to produce the greatest amplification are animated movies like The Incredibles and Over the Hedge. In those movies, I could see the individual blades of grass and veining on the leaves of the hedges. Granted, I was looking for the changes.
Watching regular movies, like Legend, the Firefly Series, and the X Men movie series, showed improvement in the quality of the picture. I think the images were more crisp, edges more defined. Hopscotch, an older movie with Walter Matthau, did not look as good. Though, to be honest, the Hopscotch DVD looked so-so on a regular DVD player and CRT TV. My conclusion is that the amount of information put into the DVD is what will determine the quality perceived.
Something to be aware of: Wireless routers may interrupt signal output.
I have a wireless router (DI-524). Do not put the router near this DVD player. Somehow the router will scramble the signal going from the DVD player to the TV. This was not a problem with my older, Panasonic SA-HT810V DVD player. Note: The DI-524's signal strength set to the lowest setting, and the antenna is not attached as I use a wired configuration. I have not read on any forum where this is a problem.
The movie we were watching: AVP Requiem. Not a good movie.
In the settings for picture quality, I have blackness set to off. The picture appears too dark with it on. I have not read many reviews about this product outside of the Amazon reviews. The main features which influenced this purchase were the price, Anynet Connection, and that it was an upconverter.
