Tech Talk
HDMI -- HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image. The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the highest output resolution with the source device. The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very bad image, April 13, 2006

By

This review is from: Samsung DVD-HD755 Hi-Def Conversion DVD Player (Electronics)

I bought this DVD player from Fry's for $69 because I expected a good quality up-conversion image and it came with an HDMI cable. I also have LG LDA-511 up-converting DVD player and Cyberhome DVR1600 with the latest firmware update.

I was really surprised with a low quality substandard image from Samsung HD-755. I tried it in 1080i, 720p and 480p modes with its own HDMI cable, HDMI Monster cable and my current component cables. In all these cases the HD-755 image was much worse than Cyberhome 480p connected with a set of component cables. The picture was almost blurry without details. I tried all different setup parameters and nothing helped. It seems that the Samsung HD-755 did not pass the QC test and I returned it to Fry's. It is hard to believe that Samsung could make product of such a low quality but some other reviewers had the same experience with that player.

On the other hand, LG LDA-511 had a very high quality image in 1080i, and 720p modes with more details than Cyberhome (as expected from higher resolution images) and much better image than Samsung HD-755 but did not come with HDMI cable. The HDMI cable price is from $20 (online) to almost $200 in retail stores that sell Monster Cables only.

5.0 out of 5 stars It looks cool, works great!, February 16, 2006

Bought this at Fry's in San Jose, CA for $69. It came with HDMI cable, which I use to connect this sleek DVD player to my Samsung HLR4667W DLP TV and I couldn't be happier about its performance. Picture is terrific and so is sound. Don't believe the reviewer, Cliff The Engineer, because this DVD player does support Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS audio when connected to an a/v receiver which supports these formats. (One should read the manual or play with the easy menu options to figure out how to set it up for Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS before making such false statements.)

As always, to get good quality video, if your TV supports HDMI, use HDMI. If not use the next best, component video output. S-video is the third choice while composite video (1 yellow cable) is the last choice.

Simlarly, for audio, toslink cable (which this DVD player does not support) is the best. Second choice is coaxial digital audio cable and the regular red/white (L/R RCA) cable the last resort. Both toslink cable and coaxial digital audio cable--just like HDMI cable--can pass Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS signal from this DVD player.

I used this in combination with a Samsung hi-def tv and the quality was fantastic. The dvd player is very easy to set-up and it allows a huge adjustment on sound and picture quality to directly match the quality of the tv. If you use it on a non-hdtv, it looks terrible so stick with an hdtv.
