Samsung DVD-HD870 review

Affordable and stylish, but lacking a few key features

Picture ; Design ; Picture adjustment otpions

No 1080p upscaling or other killer features

Undoubtedly a great DVD player with solid performance and nice features, but not quite good enough to overcome strong competition.

Samsung DVD HD870 review

Who said cheap has to be horrible?

Sleek design ; Disc compatability ; Upscaled pictures

HDMI/component usability issues ; No 5.1 decoding

Decent features and performance at a very competitive price

Samsung DVD-HD870 review

The budget DVD market is a fearsomely competitive world, where obscure Far Eastern players made from what appears to be polystyrene do battle with stripped down players from bigger brands. King of this jungle at the moment is Toshiba's ££60 SD-370E,...

Samsung DVD-HD870 review

With all the bluster about HD DVD and Blu-ray , you could be forgiven for thinking that it was the end of the road for the humble DVD player. In reality, however, the DVD player has plenty of life left in it yet.

Styling; features; picture quality.

Remote control; ugly menus; sluggish controls.

With support for lots of formats and a nifty upscaling feature, we wouldn't have a problem recommending the Samsung DVD-HD870 if you want to boost the picture quality of your DVD collection

Samsung DVD-HD870

There appears to be a competition among the major DVD player makers to see who can cram the most into a deck and charge the least for it. The Samsung DVD-HD870 won't upscale your DVD collection to 1080p, true, but there's enough here for the £70 price tag

Design and style, Price, Connectivity, Ease of use, Picture quality

No 1080p upscaling

A great-looking DVD player that's a solid picture performer, but if you want 1080p upscaling, avert your eyes now
