ImpressiveStrengths: Sharp looking, easy setup. Weakness: Having a small problem with subtitles, the machine seems to be defaulting to subtitles on and have had troubles changing the setting Looks good out of the box. I have read reviews before of others who have had troubles getting a good picture using HDMI. I simply connected cables and started enjoying. No tweaking was involved. I purchased with a 1080p televeision but was dissapointed to find out the TV, though 1080p, will not accept 1080p signals. So unfortunatley I can not comment on the DVD player's true 1080p potential.

SAMSUNG UPCONVERSION DVD-HD960 DVD PlayerStrengths: Makes every movie more sharper with the upconversion technology. Weakness: The dvd player seems kind of flimsy for a $160 player, but still a great dvd quality. I bought this item from B&H Photo and was very satisfied the quality image this dvd player produces. It also comes with a HDMI cable which saved me about $80 dollars from purchasing this cable alone. Overall I would recommend this dvd player to anyone who wants to watch video in 1080p.

Sleek DVD Player with loads of features.Strengths: HDMI output, 1080p upconversion Weakness: None so far The HD960 is a breeze to setup. Automatic setup with a Samsung HDTV. The 1080p picture is incredible. Use the free HDMI cable and you are on your way. I'd recommend the model to anyone. (Even if the model is slow to eject, It is still great.)

Is there truly a difference?Strengths: Slim and sleek design. Easy hookup with supplied HDMI. Weakness: "Busy" remote with buttons hard to find in low light (IE during movie viewing) I hooked my HD 960 up to a LG 32LC2DU (32" LCD with 720P). Using the supplied HDMI for connection was very easy. Setup was very easy. The picture quality seemed very good so I decided to "run some comparison tests". While viewing a DVD movie (The Illusionist)I wanted to see the difference between 480, 720, and 1080. I alternated the available settings on the remote (HDMI select). There is a...

Sleek looking DVD playerStrengths: good looks, menu control is easy, outstanding picture output Weakness: subtitles turned on default setting, It can't do 1080P output to my TV (not sure if this is my TV's problem either even though both say they support Beautiful picture. I used this with my TV at 720P with Starwars II and I could almost see a blue screen halo around the actors against the blue screen (this is a positive). It brings out every detail that the director wanted you to see and even ones they didn't.

Samsung rocksStrengths: good looks, Price, anticipated Samsung reliability Weakness: Maybe have the unit available in silver One of the reasons I purchased this DVD player was because it has HDMI to use with my Samsung DLP television, which has an HDMI input. HDMI makes it extra simple to set up. Run the HDMI cable(which is included with the 960)to the TV, and an optical cable to the stereo reciever. I like to have a minimal amount of cables, and HDMI is great for this. I haven't had a lot of time yet to test all the...

DVDHD960Strengths: Nice body Weakness: Only work at 480P with DHMI connect. Would like work at convert 1080I or 1080P, require to connect component This model works only at 480P when hook up to HDMI of LCD television. Want to see at 1080I, this DVD requires to add one more connecting component cable to LCD televison. The qualify is not like me expect. not good more than Sony or Toshiba that I bought 2 years ago. With me this model is only normal qualify picture but I never try at 1080P.

Strengths: Awesome picture & audio quality!
Weakness: None
I am a professional wedding videographer who needed a newer up-converting DVD player to connect to my new HDTV, a Samsung 56" HL-S5687W 1080P DLP TV. I connected the DVD-HD960 today using the included HDMI cable and was thrilled to see a picture and audio that truely rivals HD TV broadcasts!
