Not Bad for the Money August 26, 2008
David T. Bailey
The picture is definitely not HD, but is much better than a normal DVD. Had a little trouble during set up with my Hitachi 42" plasma and a few audio problems but have worked around. Plays most of the downloaded CD's, AVI's etc from my Mac computer. The unit should serve me well, especially for older DVD's until I upgrade to Blue Ray. The unit is well worth the money.
 Best DVD Player I Have Ever Owned August 26, 2008
M. Guinn
Don't let this size or price of this DVD player fool you. It is a superior product to all its larger, more expensive competitors. The picture is outstanding, and it is easy to use. We bought it for vacations in our Airstream but like it so much we might buy another for our home.
 LOCKED to region1 August 22, 2008
V. Helfenstein (Sao Paulo, SP Brazil)
Don't buy this if you have DVDs from other region. This player is impossible to unlock. I have several DVDs non-region1 and now I can't watch them.
I'll have to buy another one that is multi-regional.
Great DVD Player August 17, 2008
Gary Spriggs
This is a great DVD player. After I finally got my TV set to the right conf. the DVD player is pretty simple. I can tell a big difference in the movies we watch. Would recomend this to anyone.
 Do yourself a favor: don't buy it! August 3, 2008

I bought the samsung f1080 dvd player to match my new samsung lcd. I was very disappointed! I returned the product 3 days later. Save yourself the hassle.
*The remote sucks. It's a little cheap rectangle with little cheap buttons. You have to mash down on the buttons for it to work. design flaw!
*I wasn't worried about the remote at first, because I planned to link the dvd player and tv using samsung's "anynet" function. In theory, I could control the dvd player from the tv remote. In practice, this was a huge pain. True, the tv remote's play/pause/stop buttons worked fine. But some crucial buttons were missing, like the dvd menu! So I needed to keep the other remote on hand any way. design flaw!
*The dvd player doesn't have an external display. At first I liked this, because of the pleasing aesthetics and how the unit had been stripped of all unnecessary junk and all that remained was the pure essence of dvd player. blah blah blah. My aesthetic ideals were dashed when I plugged the thing in and used it for the first time. I realized how much I relied on an external display - they're actually very helpful! they show you how much of the movie is left, and what time it is, and all sorts of stuff. Sure, the samsung dvd player can show you all this info onscreen if you press a button, but it's a pain. In summary, design flaw!
*I was all excited to get an "upconverting dvd player with hdmi connection" blah blah blah, but it made zero difference in picture quality. Really. I compared the samsung dvd against my old dvd player which is ~2 years old and connects through component cables. There was no improvement! I looked very closely (inches from the screen) and could not notice any difference in video quality. not quite a design flaw, but certainly overzealous marketing.
I would rate the product one star, but to be fair, it technically "works". If you put in a dvd, it will play it on your tv. but there are many dvd players that work, and few are this frustrating or annoying. Save your money and spend it anywhere else. You can get a nice dvd player for a comparable amount, or if you really want a junky unit, go to walmart and spend $20. It will be the same quality.
I would accuse samsung of deceptive advertising, except the advertising doesn't say "this product doesn't suck."
