sleek and functional
DVD player works great. Plugged it into HDTV and it enhanced the DVD and delivered a great picture.
At only 3/4 of an inch or so in depth, fits great with the components on my shelf.
Would recommend it to anyone.

Samsung DVD-1080P8 Upconverting DVD Player Review
I have two of this Samsung DVD players--one attached to my 32-in LCD widescreen HD TV (1360 by 768 resolution) and the other to my 24-in LCD widescreen PC monitor (1920 by 1200 resolution). Each display is connected via HDMI cable to its corresponding DVD player. Playing high-quality standard DVDs, the picture and sound are stunning on both displays.

There definitely is a noticable difference.
So to begin I won't act like I understand the differences entirely between things like HDTV, SDTV, 1080p, 1080i, 720p and upconverting. All I can give you is my personal opinion based on my use of the DVD player.
I received it as a package deal with my new Samsung LCD TV and began using it right away. It's very slim and doesn't take up a lot of space. I like that it's black not silver and very sleek looking. The first time I watched a DVD on it I wasn't sure that it really was making the quality any better, but after watching the DVD on another TV I realized that there was an improvement.
Overall I like the DVD player, Samsung is one of the best brands in my opinion and if it helps improve the viewing quality of your DVD's then great!

Nice player for the price
I've owned this player for about 4 months. I am using it with a Samsung 1080p DLP TV. This player does a very good job of upscaling dvd's. When the DVD is encoded well (good bitrate, anamorphic 16:9), the results are outstanding. Upscaling an older DVD with a poor transfer will show the limitations of the DVD (blocky, poor shadow detail). When you watch animated movies (Like Pixar's Cars) the upscaling results are *very* impressive.
