Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Front panel looks cool and simplistic which i like a lot. Yes, the set-up is a little tricky but it is well worthed.

Remote is easy to use and the unit looks sleek and minimalist. The only complaints i have about this player, is you have to aim the remote right at it for it to work.

The 941 has a passive subwoofer and b&w speakers. Sound is great, through a coaxial connection to my home theater system, as well. It comes with a built-in dolby decoder, which in my case is a big plus. I already have my eye on the 941 because it ... Read More

Cons

Black crush really makes it unacceptable. It's the classic get what you pay for syndrome.

Dvi output (any resolution) is terrible. Vid sel and dvi sel on remote don't work. You can't get the quality you get from hd cable telivision (hd discovery or hd hbo) the only is tv signal shows 1080i.

Price

For overall value, i'm giving it 4 stars.

I finally feel like my sony lcd tv was worth the extra money for high definition!

I bought the player from best buy for $199.

)i couldn't believe this dvd player was only $50 (which i got for $39 as a winning bid actually) and i got a free dvi cable!

Shipping

Earlier this week i received the factory referbished samsung hd841.

Packaging/appearance

In the package, i found a special page of instructions on how to hook up to dvi-capable televisions, which helped a lot.

Competitiveness

The picture quality is great, at 480p comparable with my philips.

I have had a few days to use it and compare it to my other players, mainly my philips 642, which have been excellent players for me.

I don't have any other dvd players to compare against, but i couldn't be more pleased with the picture.

I rated philips and this one the same.
