Samsung DVD-HD841 Progressive Scan DVD Player
Samsung announces the advent of audio/videophile-quality DVD entertainment with its next-generation of upconversion DVD players: the DVD-HD841. Delivering stunning, cinema-quality DVD playback, this player use a fully digital process to provide high-definition resolution such as 1080i, 768p, and 720p signals, making it ideal for those who want to get the most out of their HD displays and existing DVD titles. It has a host of advanced features such as DVI output for uncompressed digital video. The Samsung DVD-HD841 also offers increased audio capabilities as well, including Super Audio CD (SACD) and DVD-Audio--making then not only the best-performing players, but also the most complete.
Currently, consumers who have upgraded their home theaters with HDTVs do not have an abundance of high-definition programming available. The DVD-HD841 offers an alternate solution by upconverting a DVD's native resolution (480p) to output high-definition formats (720p/1080i). The most impressive attribute of this upconverting process is that it takes place completely in the digital domain, which eliminates data loss and other artifacts associated with analog convergence. As a result, the process opens up a vast library of DVD material for consumers who want to watch digitally enhanced movies on their HDTV displays and enjoy the highest quality video and audio available on the DVD market.

The refurbished Samsum DVD-HD841 that I purchased
from TD is very satisfactory. I have played 6 movies on it and the player did not freeze or stutter. Using the DVI output to an Optoma projector DVI input with 1080I selected is very good.

Pros: great upconversion, better than my HDTV's native, and better than newer model Samsung HD850.
Cons: stopped working on second day. Froze during dvd play and now refuses to recognize any dvd disk, although it will play an audio cd disk. I upgraded the firmware from Samsung support, but the problem persists.
This is the first product I have to return to tigerdirect, we'll see how that goes.

What Is
High Definition And How Is It Different From Standard Definition?
High Definition or "HD" is a
technological leap forward from standard definition, with up to 6x the
picture resolution, so that what you see is sharper and more realistic. Regular TVs and the TV channels you watch
at home are typically in standard definition (unless you watch HD channels).
DVD are also in standard definition. Standard definition (480i & 480p)
is lower quality than high definition. Many older TV sets are standard
def, and can only show standard def content (programming). Many new
TVs are called High Definition TVs (HDTV). They are capable of showing
high def content in: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, all high definition
formats, but 1080p provides the highest picture quality of them all. Click
