davy1shoe 63 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Samsung 850 is a £80 dvd player and i joke you not you will not believe the quality this little player does.It has a chip in it that upscales the pic to 1080 look for reviews on it.Copying a retail dvd and ripping it the quality u lose is tiny and the upscaler fixes most of the quailty problems anyway.The magic is that its using the hmdi port on hd tv thats how i can say its worth its wieght and buying £25 -£30 retail blue ray or hd dvds is not.
