Samsung DVD-HD870 Review:TechRadar.com
Undoubtedly a great DVD player with solid performance and nice features, but not quite good enough to overcome strong competition.
"
The DVD-HD870 punches above its weight with a picture performance that makes movie material look superb."
"
the deck's colours appear rich and natural"
"
Sleek design"
"
a more than adequate audio performer, delivering plenty of dynamism with movie mixes and decent clarity and authenticity with CDs."
"
DiVX playback is smooth and stable, and audio performance is decent, if not spectacular."
"
the deck's handling of DiVX files seems more stable than that of its predecessor"
"
Having to stop discs first to access setup menus."
"
healthy feature count"
"
tidy and attractive menu system that lets you locate settings quickly and easily."
"
a very fine performer when it comes to pictures and sound."
