Review 1 of 23

Price Paid:  $100.00 from ebay

Summary:
Why so many here complain about this unit is beyond me. I own 3 of them. And yes they all work as they should. Dvi will not work unless you set it up in the menu and there are two modes A or B depending on the HDCP encoding of your TV, So A may work for some and B for others. READ the manual!. Also this unit can output up conversion via component with a hack code entered.
Play SACD's DVDA's DVD's & CD's !
Personally think it looks better through component with upscaling, DVI can look a little dark on some TV's, But hay it only around a $100 bucks !

Strengths:
Play SACD's DVDA's DVD's & CD's !

Weaknesses:
none at this price !

Review 4 of 23

Price Paid:  $60.00 from Amazon

Summary:
Purchased a refurb unit. First one defective, draw would not open. Quickly replaced with no hassel, free pick up and redeliver. Unit is hook up to Dell 24" display on DVI input. The dell is 1920 resolution. Video is stunning. Tried over twn DVD's. I purchased this unit to play in the PIP feature of the Dell while I am using the computer. Works fine. I've owner $25 DVD players and $500 DVD players (Denon). The Samsung beats them all. Part of the reason I purchased this unit is that it is fairly easy to hack. Since that is always dicy, I will do so before the warranty expires, 90 days.

Strengths:
Eye Candy

Weaknesses:
Romote too complicated.

Review 5 of 23

Price Paid:  $60.00 from Futureshop

Summary:
I don't know why there are so many negative reviews of this product. I picked this up for $60CDN at Futureshop. Not open box, No box! No remote either. I updated to Sammy's latest firmware on their website and programmed my Harmony 680 to control it. The picture on my Samsung DLP through the DVI input is outstanding. Absolutely the best buy I have ever made.

Weaknesses:
The firmware of this device is not as advanced as my Pioneers. For example it will not tell me how much time is left in a movie. Basically it is short on info for the viewer.

Similar Products Used:
I also have a Pioneer DV-260 which is very good at 480P over component but the picture quality is noticeably below what the HD841 produces.
