High-Def Conversion DVD Players
Designed for those who
want to get the most out of
their HD displays with their
existing DVD collections,
the the DVD-HD850 and
DVD-HD950 employ a
digital process that
upgrades the standard
DVD resolution to high-
definition resolution with
1080i, 720p, and 768p
signals (the latter is a Samsung exclusive in the category). They are the perfect solution for anyone who has upgraded to
HDTV and want to get the most out of their DVD collections. In addition they include HDMI outputs for simple, single-
cable connection of uncompressed digital video. The DVD-HD950 adds a white LCD screen, 6 channel out and DVI
outputs, plus support for DVD-Audio and SACD playback.

◆ Given the increasing growth of HDTV, many home theater
aficionados find themselves with new digital televisions, but a lack
of high-definition programming to make the best use of their new
investment. Samsung’s high-def conversion DVD players open a vast
library of DVD material by up-converting a DVD's native resolution
(480p) to output high definition formats (720p/768p/1080i).
Significantly, this process takes place entirely in the digital domain
(in the DVD player rather than in the TV) which eliminates data loss
and other artifacts associated with analog conversion.

to stream multi-channel digital audio and video information on one
cable to compatible digital TVs and monitors. An HDMI cable as well
as DVI cable is included.
