Perfectly Adequate September 27, 2008
J. Shipp (Oakhurst, Ca. USA)
Be aware - you will not benefit from the upconverting feature of this unit unless you connect it to an HD TV with an HDMI cable. My Samsung HD TV has only one HDMI input which I am using for my satelite box so I had to connect the F1080 with component cable. This limits my resolution to 480i (standard definition). Having said that, the DVD player provides a high quality digital, progressive scan SD picture. I did some noodling in my DVD and TV picture menus and am satisfied with the picture quality I was able to achieve. I find the remote to be refreshingly simple (it doesn't have 10,000 little buttons to deal with in the dark) and the player responds to remote commands with a slight (but not really annoying) delay. The player is a handsome piece of equipment, and small enough for very limited spaces.
 Annoying and malfunctioning, but good picture quality. September 13, 2008

First of all, the DVD player has no external display, but I guess that's my fault for not noticing it. Second are the buttons on the outside of it that are not really buttons but small, touch-sensitive panels of some type. When you handle the DVD player you end up hitting buttons inadvertently because you can't feel them and they are in the way. It's very hard not to hit them. The reason I'm handling the player all the time is because the coaxial digital output cuts out a lot. No, it's not my cable or my receiver, as I have switched those out to test, it's the player. I'll be watching a movie, then the sound will cut out and I will check the cable and end up ejecting the disc, losing my place in the movie. To get the problem looked at by Samsung, I will have to pay to send it in to them, because they have no local repair centers, so their screw-up of sending me a defective product will cost me money and hassle. I haven't had time to send it in yet and it's really irritating that I have to do that and pay for it on top of it. Oh, but they are gracious enough to pay for the shipping to send it back to me. How kind of them. The other annoying thing is that the HDMI output does not support 5.1 surround, so if you thought you were going to use HDMI to send 5.1 audio and route video through your HDMI-compatible home theater receiver, forget it! What good is HDMI's ability to carry both audio and video if the shortcomings of equipment don't ever allow you to use it that way?
 small and powerful August 31, 2008

I actually like this better than the one that came with my home theater system. it has a 64x fast forward which is so nice and fast when you want to get back to a place. the upconverting is impressive and the size is a real plus for small spaces.
Not Bad for the Money August 26, 2008

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

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.
