Strengths: n/a
Weakness: everything about it
Well I purchased this dvd player from tiger direct I was very curious to see how an up convert 1080i dvd player would look on my DLP 42" samsung and I was very disapointed when I took the dvd player out of the box and plugged it in and all of the sudden the power "on" light and the "standby" light started to blink rapidly and an aweful clicking noise as well! I started to smell that electric...
Strengths: great picture (when it worked)
Weakness: locking-up (frozen picture), skipping
I am 0/3 with this unit. My first experience was not the best. All of my DVDs (burnt and new) would skip ahead chapters for no reason. I gave it 2 weeks and returned it to BB.

Samsung DVD-HD870
Strengths: Great Picture
Weakness: HDMI cable not included
After trying my old DVD player on my new Samsung 5064 plasma I quickly ran out to BB and picked up this model. Picked up a HDMI cable at Sams. Was not disappointed. The uncoverted picture looked as good as the 1080i signals I'd been getting over cable (outstanding). Unit has a small footprint and I liked the black finish.
